I remember when I was in high school, and I heard about teens taking “virginity pledges” and I was kind of blown away. Not that I think all high school kids should be having s^x (because a lot of them probably shouldn’t), but the whole idea just seemed really backward to me. Why is it anyone else’s business what a teenager does or doesn’t do?

Well, apparently, this kind of thing is still around. And this story also has a twist to it which makes this whole thing pretty hilarious.

A guy named Andrew Bellinger shared a photo on Twitter of a “Virginity Card” that he was forced to sign in middle school back in 2008. The kicker? The virginity card also doubled as a coupon for Domino’s Pizza. Ha! Amazing! (By the way, I really don’t think kids in middle school should be sexually active, but this is absurd).

So I guess the gist was that you could save your soul AND get a pizza and some breadsticks at the same time. Genius!

Here’s some advice from the booklet that Bellinger kept from middle school.


Here’s some more from that infamous booklet.

Bellinger’s tweets went viral in a huge way and other people remembered they had to do similar pledges when they were younger.

This person remembered that their parents had to sign it, too…that’s kind of weird.

This guy noted that Domino’s probably realized they wouldn’t actually have to part with too many free pizzas.

And then there were those who responded with their thoughts about just how ridiculous this idea is and was…

Maybe they actually were sniffing oven cleaner…

Did you have to do something like this when you were younger? And if so… why?!?!

If so, tell us about it in the comments!
