For most teens today, staying chaste maybe an outdated notion for them. I once read in someone else's blog that "you can't expect me to act like Maria Clara for I am no longer living in her circa". My initial reaction was "WTF" since I believe if one acts like a Maria Clara, she is only simply living what she believes in. Fine, one can certainly live her own way, killing the Maria Clara in her, but I must say, such a frigthening scenario!
If I must quote "Couples who practice chastity here in the Philippines usually do so because their parents were very involved in their chastity education, teaching them that sex is not a right but a privilege, that it has emotional consequence that are bigger and deeper than pregnancy and disease, and that when you really love someone, you don't put them in ANY risk-- physically, emotionally, mentally-- jus to enjoy moments of pleasure. Or two, they've relaized after making their own mistake, that there is just no "condom" for the heart and that premarital sex actually prevented then from getting what they want : getting to know someone, finding lasting love founded on friendship and respect".
SO be brave enough to stay chaste. Remember too that while virginity is the standard for chastity, the article too says that "purity is a much deeper and moral standard. Purity can be regained through a decision".
