Religion
Religion is not easy to define. Generally speaking, religion follows a common group of beliefs or attitudes often concerning an object, person, unseen being, or system of thought. For girls, religion can help shape value and moral systems. One way that religion can play a role in the life of a girl is through her decision to stay abstinent. The debate over abstinence only sex education in schools is often involves religion where there is a line between providing students with enough information and respecting the practices of a religious organization.
