[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op, my parents were wary of YL too bc it was very “born again” fundamental-heavy on literal interpretation. Was raised Methodist and had a very active youth group so I was involved in that instead but overall it is a bunch of good kids who peer pressure each other into not making stupid choices (binge drinking, etc) and will give your daughter something fun to do with a safe group of friends. A lot of my friends were in it and the boys in it were very big on abstinence which made them really awaken to date bc it took the pressure off—even if the angle they pushed on that was “God’s desire for us to be pure” and to look on the girls as someone’s future wife and honor her and her future husband by respecting her purity. It’s a bit patriarchal to that degree, [b]but hey—there were also no teen pregnancies out of that group [/b]so there’s that....[/quote]

Or the girls were just shamed into hiding them (I have 3 friends who had this experience &/or were knew someone who did).[/quote]
