About a month ago, I went onto www.pureloveclub.com and came across a very interesting article. The article was about forming a pure love club at a school or college campus. In this club we help each live a life of purity and promote the message, "save sex for marriage." A commitment ceremony has to be held for the first meeting. You also do alot of fundraisers(and activities in the club not for money) to raise money for the club and/or charity and Bible reading reading. This idea appealed to me as soon as I read the title of the article. I said to myself,"This is a great idea! My school needs this!" I feel so strongly about living a pure life and I really want to bring other teenagers together and learn and grow with them. In this club you will also learn about modesty and how to remain pure in relationships. I automatically started making plans and I notified my fellow classmates on facebook.
I got really excited and I started researching and gathering members. The commitment ceremony is what I planned first. There are so many ways to do this and I am already excited.
I even made a pure love club playist.I already have some teachers in mind who would be the main leader. Oh I do hope that the administrators will allow this club! They would right? After all, I had that dream(If you don't have an idea, please read the post called, "The Message") And, I know for a fact that there are going to be a lot of people who will try to bring this club down. You can imagine the kind responses I got.
A girl who apparently was angry about the idea, left some awful messages in my honesty box on facebook. Here is the whole conversation that I had:
umm no sex before marriage
i dont think you can get it after marriage :D - Girl
ohh snapp... that ( )
What? What are talking about? Yeah, no sex before marriage is the right thing to do. -Me
ok dr. phil- Girl
Hmmm who is? - Me
umm dr. phil i told you - Girl
I'm pretty sure you didn't. Please tell me your name. - Me
ohh you guy you have no friends ( )- Girl
No need to be rude. Just tell me your name. I won't get mad or anything.- Me
ok you are so gay stop with all this bull( ) grammar
welcome to the real world honey your welcome as you put it - Girl
There you have it. And apparently, this girl is a "friend" of mine. I am positive. (Honesty box messages are anonymous, by the way) Yes, I am aware that there are going to be students who will be very angry. I don't care. I'm doing this, and if I have to suffer through bashing and teasing (which I probably will) it's all worth in the end. This club is life changing. Saving your virginity for your future spouse is the most precious gift you can give. Hearing chastity talks change my life. I really hope this club will be successful at school. Now the only worries I have are persuading the administrators in two weeks. Ahahah! How can I do so? They have to allow this club. Just because it's a Catholic school, doesn't mean we are all angels. The adults have no idea what kind of crap goes around.
Cheer quote of the day: "Put your pom-poms in the air, and wave 'em like you just don't care!"

If there's an issue important to you, I think it's worth the teasing and name calling. If you're doing something thats right, the name childish name calling will mean nothing. I hope you do find sucess with your club.
And I agree with you, sex is somehting that should be saved for marriage and only that.
Wow, yeah skippy's right.
There's definitely going to people who are opposed to the idea but that's okay. There are always people like. Just keep going and ignore their ignorance.
I'm sure the administration will appreciate another student taking some initiative.
I wish you luck in your venture!!!
Very best of luck of what you are trying to achieve-I admire you for standing up for yourself and your beliefs.
Way to be! I'm so proud of you for not letting her or anyone else get you down from starting this club. I think it's a great idea to start this club, by the way!
&yeah, I'm pretty sure he was just being a sweetie about it all. &He kinda acts like that with everyone haha
people have a right to their own oppinion, altho i dont c y ppl would just get angry, start cussing, and putting ur oppinion down, especialy since its a club, ur not forced to join and it there to offer help and support to people who need it
btw i love ur blog so much
I totally agree...I made the purity promise and I agree that catholic school kids ARE SO NOT angels. I went to 2 different schools and OMJ that second one was SO bad. The gilrs were pure EVIL. no one was nice and I had no friends and everyone picked on me, called me names, and said REALLY rude stuff to me. So that is why I am homeschooled!
But I totally agree. I bet anyone would look at my left hand and say "You're pregenat?" "You're married?" because I have my purity ring on my ring finger like Miley Cyrus and The Jonas Brothers.
Okay I'm rambling, so i'm gonna stop.

I believe in it. In fact, I waited.
Well, all I can say is. I beleive that anyone can do what they want as long as they don't harm anyone.
You are def not. & what you are fighting for is a GREAT cause. Honestly. The above commenters are right. This will be hard, there will def be people who try to stop you. But hey, don't let them bring you down. What you are doing is life changing :) I guess it'll be hard because everybody have different views on whether you should save your virginity for THE ONE. But I think the most important thing is that you don't sleep around just wit ANYONE. Get yourself pregnant wit guys you barely or worse, HARDLY know. & if you really want to do it, just make sure its someone yknw well..not jsut some random guy. It IS your body, you should treasure it! But like I said, everybody has different views..
But I am really proud of your cause :) YOU GO GIRL!
I agree with you on this one.
I'm a Catholic too. =D
You're right-- Saving your virginity for the person you'll spend the rest of your life is the best.
As for that girl with the mean messages, the real world does have grammar, and unfortunately people like her. It sickens me. -_-
Nice post.
From what I can tell,You do seem really mature for your age now though :-) Your entries are always so indepth with lifes challenges and options. They are always so insightful. You have a good head on your shoulders and you know right from wrong--now that is what I call being mature for your age :-) Thanks for the comment!

A guy named Jason who worked for Pure Love Club came to my school when I was in seventh grade. it was pretty cool and I think it is so admirable that you're standing up for what you believe.
:)
Cool post. haha!
You are kinda like my dad.
You are truly deeply in to religion.
I should start doing that often.
Ahh!
God, I don't know why my two cousins got in to sex and now they are both preggos.
Do your thing girl.
Make the world believe in all that you type.
You should be a book-writer one day.
Peace out!
(:
Well, I can't say that I agree with everything, but I do truely admire your voilition with the group. I hope everything works out. Of course, there will always be haters, but that's just how life is, ya know?
Best of luck!

hey
i haven't been on for ages!!! just saying your blog is great.And all your posts are interesting and bring up important issues!
also thanks for the comments!
xo xo
i would never have sex before marridge!! i would want to have sex with some one because it would be the most natural thing to do cause i would love them so much !!! i think if your alot older like 40 it's better cause you might think that your to old but it's ridiculous for any one to have sex under the age of at least 20 unless your married befor then cause some people do get married that young !!!
post back !!!!
Yeah I know ..
I love your song btw!
& I also just realized how much I like the picture at the top of this post, the guy is doing the great big cheesy smile that Cameron is always doing in pictures. Hahah
i believe in sex after marriage too:] don.t let some stupid girl change your mind[[and i know she won.t]]
that is a great idea! I totally agree with u! I had issues with a guy pressuring me to have sex, and it was so hard to say no to someone I liked so much, I wish I had had a club like that at my school. Good luck with it!
wow that is so mean about that honesty box thing. your doing the right thing ddont let whoever it is bring you down.
and im SO SO SO sorry for not getting back to you, i read your blog all the time i just always forget to comment back, im so sorry you leave really nice comments and your blog is really moving:)
lovemolly
you should do the pure life thing anyway. its a good idea!
all d best 4 ur doing ! it's a great idea n i totally agree with u !
ARGH stupid blogger deleted my comment!!!
basically i said provided the person is 100% sure, they are free to do whatever they want, be it waiting for love, marriage, or having sex now. If it's legal in their state, they're of age & willing.
& ignore the honesty box person, she's just a hater, and filled with guilty conscience.
hey i just stumbled across your blog from arens, but I totally agree with you! I am proud of you for stickin it to the man! People who want to change the world, have to start somewhere, and that is what you did! So congrats!
i agree 150%, i mean...just wait.
