Some alarmists out there are pointing at a new study to say that purity pledges don’t work for teenagers.
Despite promising — in exchange for cheap, mass-produced silver* rings — to remain virgins until marriage, teens are still having premarital sex.
However, teens that break their pledges are more likely to make up for it by keeping another lesson from their parents close to heart: not to use contraception.
So, if you’re a moron and you have teenage kids, don’t give up. Keep preaching stupid ideas to your kids and some of them will leak through that acne medication of theirs.
*Silver purity rings from Wal-Mart may contain percentages of lead exceeding actual silver content.
