People often ask us when the best time is to give your teen a purity ring. Realistically any time is a good time and “back to school” season does represent a very good time of the year to give them a purity ring. Usually during the back to school season teens are presented with much “new” in their lives. New school, new friends, new social circle, new sports activities, new after school clubs, etc. It’s a big transition from middle school to high school, or high school to college. Yes, during this time of year there’s a lot of new things happening in their environment. Being focused on purity is critical, being connected with like minded friends (a good youth group) is essential, and it really is a great time to make or re-commit their covenant of purity. It is a good time of the year for youth groups and churches to address purity and abstinence.
