As news of Bristol Palin's breakup with fiancé Levi Johnston fans the flames of the never-ending debate about sex education, my thoughts keep turning to Sarah. I wonder if she wishes she could go back and do things differently. Would she offer something in addition to abstinence education? Will she change what she says to Willow and Piper?
And when I start imagining "the talk"
we'll have, I realize that very little of it will actually have
to do with sex. It will be more about the need for self
confidence, an inner strength and the ability to say no to things
she isn't ready to do, to not want to please someone so badly
that she'll do something she knows is risky to earn or keep
their love - whether that's to have unsafe sex, to take drugs
or to stay with someone who demeans or abuses her.
