[edit] When do they stop?

Is there any data on how long kids keep at this before they wake up and get on with their lifes? College? Senior year of high school? Does anyone keep this up untill marriage?

From what I have read a significant minority dont actually keep the pledge up until they get married. Cant give ya any sources right now as im tired sheep21 00:02 17-05-2007

[edit] Criticism

The criticism section seems more focused on the pledges themselves than on SRT. Unless someone has some well-founded objections, I'm going to move the non-pertinent information to the "virginity pledges" article and leave the stuff that actually concerns SRT.

[edit] Pictures

The ring pictured is a generic purity ring, and not a true "Silver Ring." The Silver Rings have the verse from Thessalonians on the outside. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.23.224.5 (talk) 01:28, 9 September 2007 (UTC)
