Quotes to Note

Teens are in crisis in a culture that steeps them with sexual messages and images that encourage them to be sexually active before marriage.

The CDC shows that by age 15, 13% of teens have had sex.

By 19, that number leaps to 70%.

Chastity and Abstinence are often used interchangeably these days.

Actually... 

Chastity  is a spiritual power, something deep within yourself.

It is a lifestyle, a philosophy of life.

 

Abstinence  is a behavior used to achieve Chastity.

Abstinence means the avoidance of certain substances and activities which can be detrimental, dangerous, or deadly to a person's well-being.
