I just read an article that some young teenagers in hollywood are sporting this purity ring. What is it you may ask?

According to Wikipedia - Purity ring, Chastity ring,Promise ring  - Originated in the United States in the 1990’s to christian affiliated sexual abstinence group. Ring are worn usually on the left hand to signify one’s purity or desire and commitment to  abstain from sex before marriage.

Are this young men and women in Hollywood just wearing them for show or are they really committed to what the ring is really about ? Miley Cyrus, The Jonas Brothers and Selena Gomez wear this so called rings. But why do you have to wear them? I really hope they know what they are doing.Young kids and teenager look up to them and they can be influential.I would hate to see one day in the news that Selena or Miley is pregnant. In Hollywood is there still teenagers that are virgins? With the way Hollywood perceives sex and how women dress. Come on! It would really be a miracle if there is even 10 teenagers that are virgins before they reach 18.

I was a virgin when i came here to America to marry my husband. I kept myself pure for my future husband,it was my choice and it was something that i could give to him that is very special.Wearing rings was not something i had to wear to show that i was committed.I feel like that ring itself puts pressure on the wearer. Before wearing the rings it has to be a conscious choice and not just think about the present but about the future. Will they be able to hang on to stay pure and abstain from sex? Who knows,maybe ill be wrong this time and maybe just maybe,someone will really stand up among the crowd and be a real role model of our kids today.
