Teens Sound Off About What Concerns Them …
Here are three things we heard (not in any order or ranking):
1) Relationships
Brandi says the number one issue to her and her friends is their relationships with parents, her brothers and sisters, her friends and even her school teachers.
How do these types of relationships affect you?
2) Sex
James says his friends all have questions about sex. At this age, sex is new and a great mystery and temptation. So many concerns -pregnancy, types of sex, protections, and just the awkardness.
Here's a great suggestion - abstinence. God's way is to save these special moments for the person you marry. So, when you are close to someone and your embrace leads you to want more - why not wait. It will make it that more special for you and your lifetime partner.
3) Alcohol, Drugs, and Highs
Jackie says she believes many teens face the issues with attending parties and hanging out with friends who deal or use some type of drugs.
The truth is: 1) drugs are illegal and can get you into serious trouble, 2) Drugs are a lie - they get you high then they get you hooked and then they can kill you, 3) Provides a temporary high or feeling of freedom rather than an exciting lasting high that they joy and freedom of the Lord will bring you.
When you're young and your life is waiting for you, everyday can be bright and new. When you choose to accept God's love for you and are willing to trust Him, you will find your life as meaning and purpose. Yes, there will be sad times, heartaches, and "things" will happen, but God will always be with you, hear every word you say to Him, and protect you and love you even when you do things that you should not do.
