Purity Ball: What we can add to the article

- Where it originated? When and Why?

- Details about the ceremony - what happens?

- Age range of girls

- Demographics

- Beliefs and reasons of daughters and fathers

- How many states they take place in

Criticism:

- Why not guys too?

- Pressure to stay a virgin

- View of girls as chaste, sex only for procreation, old fashioned views

- Abstinence: not educated about contraception. High rates of teen pregnancy and STDS

Positive:

- Strong father figure and role models

- Bringing them closer together
