I'm Proud to Be a Virgin
I am a 16 year-old junior in high school. I have tons of friends and I may sound cocky but I am gorgeous. So why is it surprising that I am a virgin. Many people say "you need to get laid" or you don't know what you’re missing" when the truth is I do know what I am missing and I don't want to do it. Not only because I am a born again do Christian, but also I want to be just another girl. I am not a one night stand and I am proud to be a virgin.
I personally think that people have sex at too young an age anyway. STD and teen pregnancy is too high. Also it is becoming an obsession, as if I am not cool or super special because I am a virgin. Almost every day all I hear at school is teens talking about who got it or how they want it and it's sad to hear that that's all our generation really cares about.
Nevertheless, I will keep my commitment to myself to remain a virgin until marriage, and I would encourage everyone to do so also because it's worth the wait.

Great article! I completely agree and also have made the choice to remain pure till marriage. It's both a Christianity and a morality issue with me.
Tip: maybe you could try editing a little. Maybe have someone else read it before you submit, that always helps me find my errors.
Great Article!! :D
Same here!
And you know, to me, it's not really a religious thing. It's morals. It's respect. Don't get my wrong, I am a Christian. But I also have self-respect and I have respect for otheres. So I refuse to do that with my body. To me, it's just disrespectful to you, to the person you're with, and to the person you will one day marry.
