I am an absitinence teacher for the crisis pregnancy center in my county, and I thank God ever day that some teenagers are signing those little pieces of paper that some of you are rolling your eyes at. That commitment has kept a lot of these kids out of situations that would've resulted in broken hearts, disease, pregnancy, etc. If you hate it so much when people ridicule you for your choices, why are you belittling and ridiculing theirs?

Well, if I still knew where my True Love Waits card was, I would send it back saying "Oops." I joined when I was reallly young. I don't think it did anything to keep me abstinent and I also think I became sexually active at the time that was right for me.
Semi-related: I think a big reason abstinence only programs aren't very successful is that they have such a religious emphasis that a lot of people are turned off by them.
