Saturday, January 8, 2005 at 3:28 PM Edited Saturday, January 8, 2005 at 4:26 PM Fact: 88% of high school girls that take a pledge saying they will not have sex until marriage break that pledge. Examine that phrase: 'pledge'- indicates it was formal in some way, probably involving either church or and abstinance only group. Therefore, it would be logical to conclude that an even HIGHER percentage of girls that merely offhandedly remark that they are waiting until marriage will have sex before marriage. Example: I went to a party at the beginning of this school year. At the party when I was talking to a few girls about premarrital sex, one said that she was waiting until marriage. I responded "I garuntee that all you girls will have sex before the end of HIGH SCHOOL." Two claimed that they had not yet and would not.(The other one kept her mouth shut because everyone kenw she had had sex.) Two months later, I had actually become really good friends with one of the aforementioned two girls, and she told be that she ahd lied and had actually been sexually active since she was fifteen. She also said that she knew for a fact that the other girl that had claimed she was celibate was, in fact, also sexually active. Conclusion: Almost every girl over fifteen that goes out of her way to state that she is celibate is, in fact, sexually active. —foob2011 |
