    Abstinent Ring
    Ok, So for about 2 years I've been saying I want to turn abstinent.

    Have you been abstinent until now? Is your abstinence something you want people to know about?

    Well you're 13 so I hope you are abstinent. :)
    A ring is not required, you simply live your live according to your morals. A ring is simply a symbolic representation of that.

    99% of the people who notice your ring will not know what it stands for. You will have to explain it -- maybe more often than you will want to, especially if you wear it on your ring finger.

    Yes. If you want to wear the ring as a reminder to yourself, that's great, especially when you find yourself in a "heat of the moment" situation. But if you're going to wear one, don't wear it for anyone but yourself.
