I know this is a controversial subject, but I’m going to jump in. I respect Jordin Sparks and her decision to save sex for marriage, and her choice to wear a purity ring. I do NOT think its ok, however, for her to imply that someone who has sex before marriage, or even as a teenager, is a “slut.” Would she want to be called a prude? Its a personal decision, either way.

I agree Jenny.

I agree with you Jenny. I do not think it was okay for Jordin to call people who don’t chose to be virgins until marriage sluts. She kinds ruined her point.
