Alaska Governor Sarah Palin's oldest daughter, Bristol and her boyfriend Levi Johnston, welcomed their first child, Tripp, on December 27, 2008. Although Bristol can't imagine her life now without her son, she says "everyone should wait 10 years."

Bristol and mom Sarah spoke with Greta Van Susteren from FOX News:
Bristol, 18, would like to become an advocate for preventing teen pregnancy.
"Everyone should wait 10 years," said Bristol. "I hope people learn from my story... It's so much easier if you're married, have a house and career. It's not a situation you want to strive for."
Bristol said that her mom's view on teen abstinence is "not realistic at all."
She added, "It was my choice to have the baby. It doesn't matter what my mom's views are on it. It was my decision."
Bristol said she found it hard telling her parents that she was pregnant. She, boyfriend Levi and her best friend broke the news to Sarah and Todd Palin and said it was "harder than labor."
The teen mom said her boyfriend Levi is a "hands-on dad." She adds the two would love to get married someday.
Sarah Palin appeared later in the interview, carrying baby Tripp. She said of her daughter's pregnancy, "Hey life happens. Not the most ideal situation, certainly you make the most of it."
