Del’s voice and situation are laugh-out-loud funny as he is drawn into the Purity Pledge group despite himself (it turns out they’re all hungry for accurate information about sex). While the new moms, including Del’s friend Shianne, are often shamed, the fathers remain largely unscathed in public opinion meanwhile, sex education in the curriculum is under fire. At Del’s high school, a rash of recent pregnancies has been perceived by some, including the media, as being the result of a pact among the teen moms to get pregnant (in truth it was the coincidental outcome of an unscheduled week of cancelled school and boredom). He volunteers to join a youth group at church in which Kiera is involved as a way to impress her, only to discover that he’s unwittingly committed to a Purity Pledge: No sex until marriage. Del has had a crush on Kiera since grade school, and she’s finally boyfriend-free.
