My son was 10, and my daughter was 13 in 1990. Waiting was espoused. It wasn’t shame, just smart. Focus on your school work, extra curricular activities, spend time with groups of friends. It worked. There were no phones, little internet, except in the computer room at school. Just understand it wasn’t a shaming thing in 98% of the population. It was not called purity, it was called “why wait?” To “wait” for the right one.

What a good choice! The more POWERFUL something is, the more RESPECT it needs to be shown.
