to my prince charming - I PLEDGE I'M A WEER GIN

there is not too very much to say other than i just don't get it. i dont' get virginity pledges (IF you choose to remain a virgin, that is YOUR decision and i'll respect it BUT don't be taking a crappy pledge because i for one don't care AND i don't believe you either. if you need to make it public, i suspect you have some issues). MOST of all i don't get the BORN AGAIN virgin pledges. chances are if ya did it ONCE, yer gonna do it AGAIN.

Additionally, 73 percent of virginity pledgers from the first survey who subsequently reported sexual intercourse denied in the second survey that they had ever pledged. Adolescents who end their affiliation with born-again Christianity or who had sexual intercourse were the groups most likely to deny their virginity pledges.............
