Fox News - Virginity Pledges Are Ineffective

Teenagers who pledge to remain virgins until marriage are just as likely to have premarital sex as those who do not promise abstinence and are significantly less likely to use condoms and other forms of birth control when they do, according to a study released today. - Washington Post

Ugh, not another report that makes no distinction between abstinence pledges and abstinence programs. There is a huge different between just asking teens to promise to hold off on sex, and actually helping them resist the peer pressure to do so. Of course teens aren't going to do something that they promise to do if they aren't given any help in showing how to do it. Can you imagine someone making a new year's resolution to loose weight, and expecting to achieve that goal without making any changes? No, that would be absurd, most people are going to have change their diet or activity to loose weight. For teens to successfully hold to a pledge of abstinence, they'll have to similarly make changes to how they approach relationships.

Moving this video to MrFisk's personal queue. It failed to receive enough votes to get sifted up to the front page within 2 days.
