Well it gets better, my 19 year old comes in and basically makes the same statement. My 19 year old has a boyfriend she has been dating since high school. As the parent of both these young ladies, I am can not help but to be proud of them. 
All the girls wanted to know what they were waiting for!
Well to my surprise my 19 year old says she thinks she is going wait until she is married. (I am secretly hoping she doesn't) My 16 year old says she not mature enough to handle all that comes with being sexually active. Oh did I say I was proud of them! We started talking very openly about drug and alcohol use, and we found that of the 6 young girls, 2 had tried either drugs or alcohol, or both. Mine of course are not interested in the activity partly because their father is a I.V. drug addict which explains why he is my ex. lol
To my amazement as a totally single parent (no contact, no child support, no nothing from my ex-husband their father) I think I have done something right!What amazes me more is the number of girls who think that my kids are like nerds or something....LOL! What is society coming to?

I commend your daughters for saving their virginity! Too many teens and tweens think that having sex, doing drugs, and drinking is the thing to do. This is mainly because they don't have anyone steering them in the right direction. They see what is glamorized and get lost in the perception. What they don't realize is that they too can end up being that drugged out bum or that alcoholic that lives on the streets. The bum started from somewhere. We need to keep our children educated, so that they will make intelligent decisions like your daughters have. Not that our children will always make the right decisions, but we must at least help them distinguish the best decisions from the worst ones. My hat goes off to you. Obviously you are doing the right things because you have taught them how to intelligently make decisions that will affect their lives forever.
