after hearing about the virgin mary in church, i asked my mom what a virgin was, and she said it was a girl who hadn't fully developed yet, like mary, since she was so young. when i was in the 5th grade, my friend dara got her period. my mom heard about it from my teacher, and she told me. so for awhile i would say that dara wasn't a virgin anymore.
