We interviewed a teenage girl named “Brielle” (Not her real name) from the local area about her perceptions of virginity. Here are her honest answers.

What do you think about staying a virgin until marriage?
Brielle: It’s a nice idea, but it never works out. Most kids I know
A friend says, “I’m a virgin and I plan to save myself for marriage” What’s your reaction?
B: I would probably respect their decision. They would seem to have more self respect and think better of themselves. Kids who are always having sex are just “whores” and it seems that in the group I hang out with we’re always peer pressuring each other to have sex.

Do you regret/have second thoughts about doing it?
B: Sometimes, mainly depending on who I was involved with. When I’m sober I am more insecure and I don’t usually let it happen. But when I’m drunk I’m more outgoing and that’s when I usually get involved.
What will you say to “Mr. Right” when the time comes for marriage?
B: I’ve never thought about what will happen then, it never occurred to me. That is something I should think about as it makes sense that it could cause issues.
