Take that purity rings!

Agreed. I really hate the whole, "If I wear a purity ring, I won't get pregnant!" type of attitude about it. The thing is that it all has more to do with peer pressure. I always think that maybe if we didn't hear about sex all the time, teenagers wouldn't feel so compelled to have it at a young age.

I agree with the peer pressure thing. I also think that it isn't just hearing about it all the time but also the way/context teenagers hear about it. They are hearing about it from the wrong sources and getting bad/incomplete information.

Definitely that, too. It certainly doesn't help that all the famous teenagers are getting sexytime, though. :p

No, definitely does not help at all.
