As Thomas S. Monson once said “Dare to be a Mormon. Dare to stand alone. Dare to make it firm. Dare to make it known.”

I'm muslim and I 'm proud purity is great and way of life .. great video

[@kbs1212]

Beautiful message. I am so glad that I made the same decision to stay pure. Now I am married and so happy that my husband and I saved ourselves for each other!

[@mmfyreview]

Wow, how great is it to hear others from different faiths talk about how happy they are with their choice to be sexually pure. It really helps me in my own choice to do the same as I realize I'm not alone, and it's normal!!

[@bapanana1]

I love how this message shows that chastity is certainly not a "Mormon" idea. It is a choice being made globally by youth of all nationalities and creeds. Those who throw their sexual favors around like party favors are throwing away their self respect and true happiness. This video shows how choosing to be sexually pure is not only smart and cool, it's totally "sexy"!

[@lawfullyperfect]

Wow, what an amazing video, even though each individual had different faiths, I could feel the same spirit when each one spoke, I am so grateful for youth that stand up to the beliefs in themselves, to take the higher road, and make the world a better place around them. It makes me feel more confident when I start bringing children into this world. Thank you for your examples and inspiration.

[@ethanmacdonald4133]

Funny, I can never remember who is which religion whenever I watch this video and the thing is, it doesn't matter. They all made the right decision, they all are righteous young men and women.

[@samuelseremai2570]

I am a youth of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day-Saints from the Marshall Islands mission,Kwajalein Atoll District,Ebeye 3rd branch,and I choose to be pure....

[@BenightedStar]

I love the ending where they say their names and how they choose to be pure. It's so powerful!

[@DanielB0531]

This is the GOLD, and JEWLERS of the youth. Thanks for being such a great inspiration. I am member de la iglesia de Jesucristo de los santos de los ultimos dias.

[@inspirationalgrandma8872]

i love this episode. These young people are the strength and courage of our future. I wish ALL young people could hear and listen to what these six young people are saying. I want to share this to help young people that have no religion or conscience of right and wrong. God Bless for producing this segment. I love it.

[@MFeriante]

I choose to save that sacred part of myself for my future spouse. I choose to be pure! Thanks great video!!!

[@DanielB0531]

Always my friend. Yes you can, nobody is perfect but just few can recognize how important is to be pure. Reject any joke, or acts that will block you from reaching your goal.

[@KeilynDano]

I Choose to Be Pure too! :) LDS Forever!

[@luphelomkayi2027]

I'm a member of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints in south Africa and I choose to be sexually pure 💚💚💚😄

[@SPearl15]

I think this is beautiful!! I choose to be pure! i know I will be blessed because of it and when I am married to that right person our marriage will be eternal! Fabulous!

[@ingvildkvakestad]

I choose to be pure and I Get alot of laughs for it but it means so much to me. I have had people trying to Get me to join in but I wont

[@justinbosley692]

It can be a very difficult temptation. But you can do it! "for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them." -1 Nephi 3:7 The key is to have the Holy Ghost with you at all times through frequent repentance. Also making sure you are in places where the Holy Ghost can be with you to give you strength. " Read the scriptures, pray and go to church.

[@mworley88]

wonderful video! I love how they highlight that the key issue is choice.

[@soccerChickadee101]

Somehow I knew the girl at the end was the LDS one, even before she said it! Maybe because I am LDS too! I do respect all of them for making the choice to be sexually pure:)

[@TracyEliasonTracyLane]

Loved it! Can you imagine how different the world would be if more people lived this way??

[@NovelistVampireGirl]

wow! this is a great vid, I'm an East Orthodox Christian and I made the choice a long time ago to stay pure till marriage. Clair is right, our bodies are Temples, they are not to be objectified or tampered with. I also think that this choice has raised my standards as far as my taste in guys because I know that I need to find someone who respects meand my values and beliefs and loves me for more than just the physical. God's commands are meant to protect us and make us better stronger people

[@tinacarvalhoBodyandHealth]

For both sons and daughters at any age. Yes now is a good day to start

[@strivetobe]

Today is the perfect day to start!

[@samdahl3125]

This is such a great video! I'm so grateful for the testimonies of these youth.

[@VirginiaAndDavid152]

I'm currently religiously conflicted and I choose to remain pure!

[@crewsayer]

Bravo for each of them! My wife and I both waited. It deepens the bond between us to know that we have never given ourselves to any other person. She is my one and only, and I am hers, forever.

[@YaoPenhita]

What a awesome video :) Happiness is the sum of the right decisions! I Choose to Be Pure! :)

[@phojesco]

Fantastic message!

[@johnhiltoniii]

Great!

[@nancyvargas9351]

incredible, I came back to see this video and felt that we can overcome any temptation, there's no excuses. if we believe we can become like Jesus. Chastity bring us the companioship of the holy ghost. :)

[@Keelo977]

Even here, in a public community, the Holy Ghost seems to be here. He is the cause for these inspiring messages and testimonies.

[@sweetaspie8076]

It displays that, everyone can or believes in the same thing

[@hwh0311]

What a powerful example these young people are setting for everyone. There are SO MANY huge problems associated with improper sexual relationships. Hats off to these little heroes!

[@yurimoctezuma7980]

Love it! This video is awesome!

[@brinton417]

Like the video said, put yourself in good situations, not bad. Get involved in good, challenging activities. There is so many great opportunities to focus your time and energy on - school, work, especially serving and helping others who need your help.

[@mcchylite]

Staying sexually pure is a key solution to many of the problems that degrade society and family today. These youth clearly understand that. They will have great happiness in their lives. What an amazing video.

[@CariBaez]

God is awesome. :)

[@NicoRuthLina]

Awesome!

[@CariBaez]

I am Catholic. and proud of it.

[@elaineakoteu6732]

this video is so inspiring for todays youth, and others who are confused about how they should live their lives. it's all about respecting your body. it is sacred and we each have a purpose that is divine and true. if you want to be happy waiting for that special someone is WORTH the it.

[@domonicdunaway7044]

I choose to follow the commandments and to follow the prophets. I choose to live and make chooses based around the law of chasity

[@BeeDub57]

One of the most important messages for young people today.

[@angeldelagrimas777]

Good video!!! :D

[@vee0810]

If only more young people could have the respect for their bodies and the strength to live pure lives like these 6 people, what a difference society would be today =)

[@Nancytoday]

So well stated! I agree totally!

[@fujrts]

@tehuberleetmaster yes. repentance is always an option. dont let anyone tell you otherwise.

[@newimagetinting]

best choice for the youth now days, I seen both sides and the other side is really sad and devastating, for the young man or young women future, I admire the youth when they make this commitment on their young life.....

[@twlinton1]

Absolutely! That's one of the biggest miracles of all. That is Gods greatest gift to us is that we CAN start over. (in a sense) Some would even go as far as to say being completely born again. For me there is no greater source of hope (From big mistakes or little) that we can CHANGE and become better. This can be done by promising God through baptism (or renew it through taking the sacrament) and committing yourself to change. Thats the good news of the Gospel!

[@rock3tcatU233]

The only frustrating part consists of finding people who are also pure.

[@Saweetheart92]

I am a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-Day Saints & I choose to remain Sexually Pure !! :)

[@ShannonAllAround]

I'm a youth from the US living in China and I choose to be pure.

[@AnneBrad9]

@tehuberleetmaster Yes! Anyone can change. It's all about repentance. The past can't be undone, but true repentance (which includes abstaining from sex until marriage) is always possible through Jesus Christ. Find someone such as a missionary from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and ask what needs to be done. Forgiveness is a wonderful, liberating thing.

[@mrjercan2]

Why would anyone dislike this video???

[@aliJenne]

I know Claire, I know Claire!!

[@HEYitsTASHINAx]

Thats sad that people could dislike something like this.

[@mondugibaby]

@hackingtime88 yes, u can start over. choose now. :)

[@seanb.947]

very good people... this gives me hope

[@aldrinsantiago2455]

I like this video :)

[@Brendenator87]

@tehuberleetmaster Yes!

[@gob2011]

I am a youth of the waynesboro ward of the august Ga stake of zion a i choose to remain pure

[@Ty_Rides]

of course you can

[@chuchsjca]

I'm from the San Cristobal Ward, Coacalco Mexico City Stake and I choose to remain sexually pure!

[@MegWasHere2011]

Love it!!!

[@rosybirdhouse]

Of course you can start over. :) This is the good news of the Atonement of Jesus Christ. He offers forgiveness to all who repent and come unto Him. Make today a new day. Starting over is a good thing. :) You can do it.

[@wolves4president]

Amen.

[@amaralisrosado-padilla6854]

soy miembro de la iglesia verdadera soy mormona, y creo totalmente en todo su evangelio como verdadero unico, real puro sobre esta tierra, amo su perfect organizacion y los llamamientos q posee la iglesia...habemos mucha gente dentro de la iglesia q JESUCRISTO es lo primero.......ahnelamos con ansias el regreso del SALVADOR y la vida eterna amen y amen

[@bapanana1]

@tehuberleetmaster YES! One of the best things in life is that we have a chance to learn from our poor decisions and choose a better path. One cannot ever choose to be a "virgin" again once they have had sex. That's something that cannot be undone. But, one can definitely choose to protect their sexual power, treasure their gift, and live a clean and pure life.

[@Brendenator87]

Yes, you can become pure through the power of Jesus Christ. You can be released from any feelings of shame or guilt you may be feeling. If you'd like to chat with someone who can explain this process more fully, you can go to mormon.org/chat/ and click the chat link.

[@gob2011]

@hackingtime88 pray about it and repent and you have to decide if you want to start over.

[@CariBaez]

chastity is good. :)

[@fr3nchy226]

@hackingtime88 I testify that what is said in this video is true. I also know from personal experience, that you can start over. Satan would have you believe that once you fall, you are trapped, and can never get out. But this is not the case. With the help of Jesus Christ and His Atonement, you can start fresh. I'm a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, and though I'm a convert and have made poor choices in the past, I choose to remain sexually pure! :) And so can you.

[@ThePippindude]

@FireHigher I am not atheist, but I do know that it has been proven that having sex freely with many people does actually mentally and emotionally damage people, while sex inside of marriage with a constant partner can actually strengthen your "bond" with your husband or wife.

[@ThePippindude]

@tehuberleetmaster Of course! The idea of repentance and washing away your sins is not just a Christian idea, whether you call God our Heavenly Father, Allah, Yahweh, or whatever, he still loves you and so has provided a way for you become clean again. It won't be easy, though. You have to feel true sorrow for making that sin, and you must set your mind to never again make that mistake. It won't be easy, but I promise you, and stake my life experience with sin, that it will definitely be worth

[@oompaoompadoodledoop]

I'm a teenager who desparately wants to be sexually pure but finds themself facing temptation often. Any tips for remaining pure? Thank you

[@domingosalandanan4139]

zyra, what's the end of something

[@raquellira3772]

Eu sou brasileira e membro de A Igreja de Jesus Cristo dos Santos dos Últimos Dias e eu escolho ser sexualmente pura. ( I'm brazilian and member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and I choose to be sexually pure. )

[@Perfectvalor]

Ima go with IT IS SOOO HARD i mean what the heck.

[@missjuliettagirl]

@hackingtime88 Yep. It's the good news. :)

[@tczci]

@tehuberleetmaster - Yes, throught the atonement of Jesus Christ. See mormon.org/jesus-christ for a start.

[@icecherrycoke]

@tehuberleetmaster Yes one can. But it requires repentance and to "go and sin no more" like Jesus said to the woman taken in adultery. And that was a commandment, going and sinning no more. I won't be easy but it will be worth it. He can take ones sin AWAY.
