What about you parents who "knew" your underage kids were sexually active – how did you handle it? Those of you that were active, how did your parents handle it when they found out? What about parents who know their kids are living together, how do you deal with it? Those of you living together, how are your parents dealing with it? Parents, ladies, ever been embarrassed by a previous boyfriend or fiancé like this?

• People (4/3/09) Sarah Palin's Camp Lashes Out at Levi Johnston for Sex Talk on Tyra. Here's the Palin family statement:
"Bristol did not even know Levi was going on the show. We're disappointed that Levi and his family, in a quest for fame, attention, and fortune, are engaging in flat-out lies, gross exaggeration, and even distortion of their relationship. Bristol's focus will remain on raising Tripp, completing her education, and advocating abstinence," the statement continues. "It is unfortunate that Levi finds it more appealing to exploit his previous relationship with Bristol than to contribute to the well being of the child. Bristol realizes now that she made a mistake in her relationship and is the one taking responsibility for their actions."
