  purity-ring (this is Lydia Playfoot.  the same thing happened to her in 2007.  Read her story here.) The Jonas Brothers wear them, some High School Musical cast members wear them...but that doesn't say much because Britney Spears used to wear one. It's a purity ring. According to researchers at Yale University, a recent study showed that "88% of purity ring wearers had sex before marriage." A related article on a families.com read:
So would you encourage your child to wear a purity ring? One mother in the UK did, and now she and her daughter are making headlines around the world. Apparently, not everyone is gung-ho about teens sporting the chastity bands. According to news reports, when 12-year-old Kioni Lansbury donned her purity ring to school she was ordered to remove it. Lansbury's school in Ottery St. Mary in the UK has a strict no-jewelry policy. School administrators say rings pose a health hazard in science and physical education classes. However, the school's ban on rings didn't sit well with the Lansbury's who maintain the dress code allows Muslim students to wear banned headscarves, therefore an exception should be made for students who desire to publicly declare their commitment to abstinence by wearing a ring. Kioni told local news reporters that she plans to continue wearing her ring to school, but will remove it in situations where it might be dangerous. Meanwhile, the girl's mother says she stands by her daughter 100%.
Interesting.
