Purity Rings

For show or for real?
Teens nowadays need to realize that purity rings are not worn barely to make a fashion statement. It is supposed to represent something much bigger than that; something that has to do with the implication of the name “purity.”
I came to know about purity rings 4-5 years ago during one of the summer camps held at my church. Most of the kids there pledged to practice abstinence until marriage. And I was one of them. We were all offered a purity ring as a reminder of our promise to ourselves and God. The belief was that from there henceforth, we were married to God and our body belonged to him. I had absolutely no problem with that and to be quite honest I was traumatized with the idea of being sexually intimate with anyone lolol.. Anyway, a few years later, I misplaced my purity ring. It didn’t change the fact that I too the pledge and I didn’t feel like I needed a ring to remind me.
Okay I seem to have lost track of what I was saying; so now back to the subject. Some people tend to wear a purity ring just because they think it’s cute or to deceive others about their sexuality [in lack of a better word]. Well, you’re not deceiving anyone but yourself…was that a little harsh?...yes, no?...oh I don’t care =]
It doesn’t bring all the boys to the yard
One more thing I’ve noticed about purity rings is that it tends to scare people away; mostly the guys. When some guys go on their prowling business, they’re looking forward to catching the easy prey; the ones that are willing to have fun with them- sexually. But once they see that ring on your finger, they realize they have no chance with this one.
For all sexes:
In case you didn’t know this, purity ring aren’t meant for just female. There are men out there who wear them, while most of them don’t; but believe it or not, there are actually men out there who are willing to wait; who wouldn’t pressure you to do what you don’t want to do. I also believe that men aren’t the only one that puts pressure on the significant other; in most rare cases, women tend to pressure their partner into committing sexual acts. Don’t be fooled!
This is my purity ring….yes, I took it upon myself to replace the one I lost a few years ago, mainly for the fact that I like to scare all the boys away from my yard….hahaha.. Let's just say I'm not afraid to tell the world that I'm not sexually active and that I'm willing to wait!

I purposely chose to wear it on my ring finger :)
