All of these traits seem to try to put teens who haven't had sex above teens who have. There's nothing wrong with being a virgin, and there's nothing wrong with not being a virgin. This isn't the 1950's.

No thoughts? haha. This is very true. Abstinence from sex before marriage can actually enrich intimacy, sex, and strengthen marriage between husband and wife. It also promotes loyalty and faithfulness. Nothing negative when it comes to abstinence before marriage. Just positive things.

Teen abstinence is very important. Being abstinent means you have a lesser chance of getting a STD(sexually transmitted disease) which means you wont have to take meds to make it better. Teens, parents of those teens, do the right thing

this article is soo true. i am a 16 year old girl in high school and i believe in the whole abstinence thing. and i am also very religious. in the bible it teaches that u should wait and stay pure until you are married to your husband/wife. beacuse if you dont wait it will just be one of those boundaries that you have 2 go around, whether or not u use protection. just because you use protection in the physical state it still doesn't cover the emotional state. all-in-all, you should just wait till you're married to a husband/wife that loves u.
