Randy Wilson’s 19-year-old, Khrystian, is typical: She works at her church, spends most weekends at home with her family and has never danced with a male other than her father or brother. Emily Smith, an 18-year-old I meet, says that even kissing is out for her. “I made a promise to myself when I was younger,” she says, “to save my first kiss for my wedding day.”

That's not creepy. That's just...
weird.
No emotional problems in the making there. No sir.
Ok...for real, now...I can see wanting to remain a virgin until you are married. I really can. But, to not even
kiss until your wedding day?!? Something is very very wrong.

The same goes for dad-daughter bonding; research shows that girls who have solid relationships with their fathers are more likely to grow up to be confident, self-respecting, successful women and to make wise choices along the way.

Ok...I can see that. Makes perfect sense. And, you know what? I think that my daughter would've absolutely
loved to have gone to a party like this, all dressed up in a fancy ballroom. Very much akin to a debutant ball.
Why do they have to attach such...
constraints on it. Why do they have to make it so damn bizarre. A 4 year old? Signing a pledge? My 4 year old can barely tell me how many kids were in his daycare class today. A 25 year old? Signing the same pledge? Time to start thinking for yourself, Honey. Or...maybe she is...I dunno.
Hell, it's almost
cult like. It'd make a nice bad "B" movie, for air at 2:00am.
