why do people focus on congratulating you for "not buying into the promise ring bullshit"? what happened to you sucks (although maybe you should have chosen a dif location to have sex) but can we please be respectful of people who do wait? choosing to abstain until marriage can be beautiful, as long as it is the man or woman who choose that path, not the parent. just sayin.

I agree, fighting hormones with a ring just doensn't work. Its nature. Its meant to be that way. Why does the church have to pay so many milions of dollars to people because of the sexual abuse? Thats right, because human's aren't made to be celibate. So why do parents still want their children to wait till marriage... :-/

#20 and #21 already said everything that needs to be said

I feel like this one needs a special button that says "your dad deserved that." I'd have clicked it.

#20 and 21 clearly arent teenage girls. Sitting your dad down and explaining that your not going to wait and im assuming, are already having sex is not a good thing.

Ugh. The comments saying that it's the dad's fault for give her a promise ring in the first place are ******* stupid. OP said herself that she SWORE to her father, she PROMISED that she was going to remain abstinent until marriage and thus there is no respect to be had for her situation.

On the bright side, i'm sure he can still refund the ring.

From your use of the word "made," it sounds like your dad badgered you into it. Like, you knew the consequences of saying "No, it's not your decision to make" were too dire to risk... If this isn't the case, and you just went "yeah, whatever dad" then you have absolutely no right to be bitching. Some people should just be happy they're getting laid. Also, #8, you're a genius.

BUT THE JONAS BROTHERS SAID IT'S THE COOL THING TO DO!! ;-)

bravo for not listening to that bullshit! it's too bad we live in a society that labels sex as a bad thing.
