Purity rings used to be a symbol of comitment and now they seem more like a publicity stunt.

Honestly it's getting annoying. I almost took mine off because people are making such a big deal about them. They aren't a big deal.

It's the promise behind them that's importaint and I think some people are missing the point.

Russel Brand said somethings that made some people uneasy but it was comedy (even if it wasn't that funny to some people). I thought it was a bit much myself but he didn't mean any harm by it.

People just need to remember why they were the symbol and not care what other people say. It's about sticking up for what you believe not jumping on a band wagon.

Just saying.

I learned about it through the Jonas Brothers but I didn't get one because of them.

I wanted it because it desplays my promise and my faith in myself that I can do it.

I can look at my ring everyday and be proud of myself for my promise.

That's why I wear mine.

Whoa. You have no idea how much I was thinking that and then you said it. I like the way you worded that, very cool and very true. I also agree.

I'm glad there are more people out there that think that. I've had people tell me it was stupid. I don't think it's stupid. It's my comitment to myself and God. It's only between me and God. People have to learn to understand that.

Yeah, totally.

I agree but disagree.

Purity rings are what you believe in. If you don't believe in it, don't wear one. Simple as that. No body needs to judge by your beliefs and stuff. If you believe in no sex till marriage, well great for you! If you don't, still fine for you! Doesn't effect any of us...
I think they get so much publicity because one, JB are really great role models. So they're gonna get publicity, no matter what. The rings are not for the press though, at all.
 Two, a lot of teens today are involved in sexual activities, and that's a 'problem' with 'increasing numbers' [it's on the news right now. the statistics, i mean. idk why. don't ask]. If people see these huge celebrities wearing these then they could be discouraged to have sex.

I agree because I think they do get a lot of publicity, and that causes paparazzi and stuff.

JB DOES NOT wear them for publicity. They wore them before they were famous.

I don't think people would even know that they were purity rings unless some magazine asked them about it.

Russell Brand...
ugh.
Well, I understand, it was humor. Heck, it was MTV. You can't ever predict what'll happen on MTV. I admit, it did make me and my mom feel uncomfortable, and I didn't find it funny at all. Especially some other things he said not involving purity rings, but did involve sex. 
I'm not mad at him. He did what he was supposed to...host the show, make people laugh, etc. That's what his job was that night, and he did it.
Even if a lot of people didn't find it funny.
