I think they can wear they’re damn ring all they want to, as long as it says something blatantly obvious about it’s meaning. I, for one, am glad to know sooner than later that I ain’t hittin that.
As for sex at 13, I started when I was 7 and I can tell you that there are a good number of sexually active preteens. The good ones just don’t get caught. I wasn’t caught. To date I have no known STDs, 1 STD scare, and 2 pregnancy scares. I am 23 now and in a fulfilling relationship. Something I learned a long time ago, it’s not the act that is inherently dangerous, its societies view of the act.

i don’t know why they can’t wear any jewelry at all anyway. a single ring? I think the purity pledge is a good thing. Yeah, usually they don’t make it, but, it does help them wait until they are just a little older. Young teens are not always ready for this. (some are, some aren’t) My son committed suicide at the age of 15 because of a girl. Its a very difficult age and time for many kids. This silly little ring just helps them for a little while, put off something they might be afraid to do, and let’s face it…the diseases are rampant and condoms do not protect against all of them. Also, many of the diseases can be transferred through oral sex (including HIV) HIV is more easily transferred through oral sex than through regular heterosexual intercourse. In order for the purity pledge to work, it can’t be a secret. You have to be proud of it. Let’s instill some kind of morals in the kids today (it doesn’t have to be related to religion at all, just a good common sense approach) In the city I live in 11 and 12 year olds area giving birth and the HIV rates among the young women are horrendous. (P.S. I am totally for sex education along with giving out free condoms to students etc., but, this little pledge could help just a couple of kids to…it would be worth it) If you could see the look on the face of a young person who was just told they have HIV, you might be more understanding. (also, alot of girls think or are told that oral sex is safe, and it’s not)

Because we’re taught to be “Politically Correct” and accept other peoples’ beliefs. We’re taught that people who don’t do that are evil and don’t care for other people’s feelings.

no it wasn’t.
I’m really sorry, but merely belonging to some belief system is a ridiculous reason to be exempt from the rules. If I say i belong to some obscure african religion that requires me to wear a human bone in my hair, is that acceptable?

To take it one step further, why is religion a reason to do anything? If i believe I will go to hell unless I jump up and sing a song every three minutes, is that acceptable? hell no.

If my grandmother ‘REQUIRED’ that I wear a dead crane on my head, is that a good reason? I hope not.

So why, by Wodan, are other obscure and diculous fictional beliefs deemed a good basis for random demands?

Just so you know there is a reason for the Sikh’s being allowed to wear the bangles (and even for the Muslims to wear their hijabs). The school dress code calls for all students to wear a standard uniform, with no jewelry (with the exception of a small, simple watch). An adendem to the policy however states that the girls are permitted to wear additonal items when it is REQUIRED by their religion. Muslims are required to wear hijab; Sikhs are required to wear the gold bangles– however these girls are not REQUIRED by their religion to wear these rings, they simply choose to. Thus the superior courts have upheld the decision (to allow bangles and disallow “abstinence” or “chastity” rings.

I don’t subscribe to any of these religions, but the school’s policy and the superior court’s decision was appropriate.

Thirteen year olds are children?

BAHAHAHAHAHAA!

The peak of mental ability is the age of 15.

They’re only two years shy of that. Our standard age for having sex is so far along in life, humans would have died out if we always had those standards, because they’d be dead before they finally got to sex.

Society doesn’t think really. It really doesn’t.
