"Be Pure." Sure.

Purity talks don't seem to be doing any good for anybody. I'm sort of tired of them.

Kids still have sex. No matter what you say, they're gonna have sex. I don't think you ever make much of a mark, running in circles telling us to stay outta bed.

And a lot of us kids in private school? We don't get sex ed. So we're taught about it by our tv or the Internet. Not the best teachers. Often inaccurate.

I'm sick of this separation of boys and girls, your insistence that girls do it only for the emotion. Because a girl that wants it is a whore or a slut, right? You're just perpetuating the labels of society. "He's a stud, but she...?" I won't be talked into sex by any guy, just because he grabbed hold of me emotionally and led. If I was going to have sex, it's not because I was a pushover or pressured or I thought it would bring our hearts closer together or something like that.

And I know it's not all about sex, as in straight up doing it. It's about looking away from the Victoria's Secret commercial on tv, too, right? I get that. But it's hard to feel pure by your definition. Doesn't everyone think about sex every now and then...? Or am I the only one who wonders? It feels like your standards are impossible to reach, so no wonder many don't try.

Soon enough I'll be done with high school, and even though you won't be preaching messages at me anymore, my reasons for not having sex have nothing to do with any impact you left.

I just don't want a baby, man.

... What am I missing?
