Best Answer
I assume you are referring to the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. The answer is no.
It is federal law, under the First Amendment's free speech clause, that children may not be required to recite the Pledge.

Children who don't want to do it, for whatever reason, can stand or sit respectfully while the others recite the Pledge.

Schools are prohibited from forcing children to recite the pledge, and schools are prohibited from punishing those students for refusing to recite the pledge.

However, any students who harass those who don't say the Pledge are subject to discipline or even expulsion.

What advice would you give you that will help me keep this pledge?

The advice would be that I will sign the Pledge form to say that I will not have sex and stay abstinent until I get married because I am not ready yet to be a parent and have to take care of my child in my baby's childhood.
