It just seems fishy that he's wanting her to sign, even if it was brought up by parents/church, why weren't the other parents involved first? I'd check in with the other parents, see if they even know what he's up to.

His family is somewhat religious. We.. are not. We believe in God, doing good works, leading by example, etc etc. But NOT going to church.
Anyway...
The boy wants my daughter to sign a "purity card".
We (including the daughter) were pretty offended. I mean, I raised her to be able to made good choices.
She does not need some piece of paper to keep her from having adult relations! She is a smart capable young woman. Why on earth would she be unable to control herself? Why would HE be unable to control himself?
I just don't get it. Does this make any sense to anyone else? She has the self confidence and self worth to know she's worth waiting for. We talk about sex on a regular basis in our household. It's not something dirty, it's a fact of life, but one that should be partaken of when older and emotionally ready.
