Purity rings go along with vow

Purity rings as a kind of promise ring, it takes personal strength and a strong mentality to wear a purity ring. Promise to wait until marriage can bring either negative pressure or positive respect from peers.
“Being abstinent means to be pure and to not have sex with anyone other than your sconsort” younger Sydney Ritter said.
“I wear a tungsten purity ring because it makes me feel proud of myself and tells me how strong I can be,” Senior Two student Jessica Johnson said.
Some teenagers make the choice to be abstinent while others do not.

Some students feel that by entering the gates of adulthood the world of dating will give them  maturity and independence.
Dating becomes very important for finding the person one wants to spend the rest of her life with.
Many people who wear personal purity rings choose relationships more carefully. Most say they understand that it is a personal decision and try to not force it on others.
“If  students believe the same things I do, then it is their decision,” Ritter said. “It’s a personal thing to have.”
In the year 1990, many Christian groups held sessions to promote abstinence until marriage. To symbolize this choice, they began dispersing wish rings to remind people of their choices.

According to Purity Rings Online, “Under the first Bush administration, organizations that promoted abstinence and encouraged teens to sign virginity pledges or wear purity rings [had] received federal grants. The Silver Ring Thing, a subsidiary of a Pennsylvania evangelical church, received more than $1 million from the government to promote abstinence and to sell mens ceramic rings in the United States and abroad.”
Both men and women can choose to wear purity tungsten rings to keep themselves pure until the day they are married.
“It is important to my faith and other Christians to wait for your [sconsort],” Ritter said.
“It’s a good personal choice to be abstinent,” social studies teacher Jerry McWilliams said. “If the church promotes it, then it’s even better. But the government should not be involved in this decision or promotion. Faith and state should be separated. Federal grants are more for a cause that the government can back up.”
Dating has often been a difficult process for teenagers. Wearing tungsten purity rings changes the playing field for many of them.
“You have to pick carefully I guess,” Ritter said. “Actually I don’t date really. I haven’t had a boyfriend since eighth grade. Not that I’m unwilling to date, but I choose carefully.”
Wearing a ceramic purity ring doesn’t mean not going on dates.
“They just have to understand where I stand,” Johnson said.
“I think you have to be willing to be vulnerable to have a successful relationship,” Ritter said. “It’s a part of life.”
Because they choose so carefully, the break-ups are not as hurtful.
They do not expect to marry the person but that does not mean it still isn’t a little upsetting.
