Today, my parents bought purity rings for my twin brother and me for our birthday, and had them blessed by our priest. Neither of us are virgins. FML

Whoa, whoa, whoa...that is just a little personal. I mean, yes, parents should talk to their children about sex and educate them, but getting involved in any way about deciding when and with whom sex should take place is just going too far. Parents need to stay out of their kids' bedrooms!

The "purity movement" is voluntary. The child is supposed to make the decision to wait on his/her own. I don't think good parenting involves deciding exactly who your kid has sex with. However, if a child is under the legal age of consent, then parents should be involved with their children enough to know what's going on. Most young teenagers are idiots and don't realise it yet. They certainly shouldn'y be let alone to make choices that may affect the rest of their lives.

What if op got pregnant (or someone else pregnant). Are parents just meant to let their kids **** who the want and still come back for financial assistance like we know that they would. If they parents take a lazy stance in monitoring their children then it is only fair for them to take a lazy stance in taking care of the issue (and vice versa). Here come the thumbs down

I think as a parent you are meant to teach your children good morals and to have a higher self worth and you teach them the dangers of sex and what to do. That's all a parent can really do. If you child wants to have sex at 13 they will probably do it. But you hope you taught your kid better than that.

Well, you don't have to tell them you've had sex. You could just discreetly leave used condoms in your bedroom. Tell them you ran out of socks. (Aside: I am against the 'purity' movement. Sex is not dirty, evil or impure, it's a natural (and very fun!) human function.)

Bluntly tell them that and walk out of the house while leaving the ring on the table.

Religious people... -rolls eyes-

Well they prolly know you 2 aren't virgins anymore, but like all good catholic parents (mine included) they just want to guilt you into not enjoying sex.
