That's good but I really think parents are the ones that are going to have to stop this by keeping them supervised. There are some very mature teens, but most...if they are in lust...they forget about everything momma and daddy have told them. I would be surprised if the girls that kept their vows didn't come from well supervised homes.

Supervision only goes so far, and when a 17 year old has sports and a job after school and a car, there are many instances where they can get away unsupervised. Plus the goal is for them to be virgins until marriage, and you're not going to supervise them every minute in college now.

My personal experience on the receiving end as a teenage boy only a decade ago is that I was completely unprepared for sexual situations after sitting through youth group talks and even "good" girls have the moral fiber of tissue paper. I needed to hear that part of purity is to keep certain things unmentioned and that far before sex there is a monumental connection that is formed between two people. I needed to hear that whatever action a "big deal" in a relationship is a "big deal" only once, and then it is lost forever. What I got was advice about things that were too far down the road of lusts to be useful when it finally came to pass.
