Bristol Palin has come a long way on Dancing with the Stars. She has become more graceful, more able to look at herself critically and consider changes and has been better able to hang loose. But a dancer she is not. She is also not ready for prime time. She’s just too young.
Whenever she didn’t feel comfortable about a dance or felt insecure because of lack of experience, she more or less pouted. It was a normal teen reaction. Bristol will take awhile to live up to her 20 years.
It’s unfortunate that she keeps getting caught up in her mother’s un-campaign and reality show. No wonder she was confused about her relationship with her baby’s father, Levi Johnston and her judgment about him slipped. She hasn’t had time to find out who Bristol is. She went from being in the national campaign spotlight as a pregnant teen to being a single mother. She moved to Anchorage and started a life on her own but when the wobble about Levi happened, it was back to Wasilla.
Whatever Mama bear wants to do about the presidency, it would be nice if Bristol could not have her head turned by either Mama or the media and just went back to school. That would be the best way to get back to her own life. She is living at home so there should be help with her baby. It’s the perfect time. She could even do it via computer.
Bristol is a bright young lady with a darling son. She needs to think of what she can do for herself and her son and not for Mama Bear. She has her own followers now and they can wait while she catches up.

I believe in the end that Bristol will do the right thing for herself and her son. She is a beautiful young lady who has come a long way these past few months. I will pray for her.

I hope you are right. So much of her has been lost in the shuffle. I just have the feeling that during this DWTS stint, she has begun to see how strong she really is and that she is not in her mother’s shadow but has her own good talents. Prayer is the finest and loveliest gift you can give another. So VERY good to see you bydesign. Your insights suggest you are an “old soul” as they say about those who have wisdom from beyond this life.

Oh I don’t know – she was pregnant before Sarah entered the national spotlight, so I think her judgment about Levi was clouded for the simple reason that she was a teenage girl. She certainly wasn’t the 1st to be duped, as I can personally attest. *cringe*
I do think she’s growing up well though. She’s handling herself, and she has a good example to learn from.

She’s young, she’s had troubles, but she clearly has spirit and determination.
