Washington, January 2 : Former Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin has revealed that her unwed teen daughter Bristol, who gave birth to son Tripp Easton Mitchell Johnston on Saturday, and her fiance Levi Johnston are working hard to balance schoolwork with their new parental obligations.

"You need to know that both Levi and Bristol are working their butts off to parent and going to school and working at the same time. They are certainly not high school dropouts," Fox News quoted the Alaska Governor as telling People magazine during a telephonic interview.

Palin also expressed worries that any suggestion to the contrary could "harms Bristol''s reputation and Levi''s reputation and their chances for good work opportunities."

She, however, still kept herself from talking about her grandson. (ANI)
