Bristol Palin PSA

This past year has been a roller coaster, or maybe a trip on quad skates. I am training to try-out for roller derby in the summer. Eek! I know, me on skates and not stable ground. So far the work out is hard, but I am loving every moment.

Recently I began interning at Serve Marketing. I love my internship and the people I work with. Working here, has helped me realize that I want to continue working with non-profits. I love helping people. I also love educating the public, though sometimes the public tends to be very finicky with accepting the truth.

For instance, the Bristol Palin PSA that recently came out was created by Serve Marketing for the Candies Foundation. People do not realize what the PSA is saying. Everyone is saying it is an abstinence only ad or Bristol is saying she has it easy, but those who do not have a rich family will not be so lucky. She is not saying either of those things. The ad clearly states, "Pause. Before you play."

What does "pause, before you play" mean? It could mean a variety of things- did you take your birth control, put on a condom, or I'm not ready.

Bristol is saying also she has it hard being a teen mom, but she is lucky to have a supportive family. There are many teen moms that are thrown out of their houses, and have to drop out of school. Some teen moms scrape to get by. Do you want this life? Pause, think about the consequences before you do something you may regret.
