I've decided, that it would be cool, for Pre/Teen Sticky, to talk about peer pressure, experiences, and just so that people can get together, and help each other understand things about each other, and everyone, if you have a question, ask it here.
i'm adding this in, so this doesn't happen (if the situation comes up), but this will be a non-judgemental post. this is a place for help. if anyone posts something like their gay, on this post, do not attack him/her in here, attack him/her through personal message, or anywhere else in the guild including debate, we have a general homosexual debate, so their will be no singling out, and this goes for all problems, no matter what anyone puts

flyingemu27 Oh so it's like a life issues kind of thing? Sounds great to me. biggrin Pretty much, i took the idea from the just guys thread, but made it a sticky, and made it for girls and boys. and thats exactly what its for, talking about life issues (specifically teen stuff). so if anyone has any questions, about that stuff, ask them here, and also try to help people and answer questions.

Also, if you don't specifically have a question, but you just want to get something heavy off your chest, feel free to unload here. (If that is alright with you, myescapeandahalf)

(If that is alright with you, myescapeandahalf) myescapeandahalf here, of course thats all right, in my experience, telling someone is the best thing you can do, even if the person you tell can't be super helpful, atleast its not inside you and its out there, so ya, just say whatever, but keep it on the topic of important issues and problems

I'll be out of my teenage years in less than a month, but I'd just like to say I was one of the quiet teens who never got too involved in drugs. I had other vices, mostly an unwillingness to talk to other people, a rediculous amount of pride, a deceptive tongue, and a poor work ethic, and I'm still paying dearly for them.
It's not always the most obvious threats that pose the greatest amount of danger. True Christians should be very careful about everything they do, as no one sin is any worse than another, and one thing that would have helped me was the knowledge that there's no such thing as a "white lie."
Just my two cents, ans sorry for posting if I don't really qualify. sweatdrop

No, I think it's alright. And you're right. Those kind of things are important, and I think the "small" things can be discussed here too, becuase they're just as bad. You know, like pride, lying, grudges, hatrid, "white lies", self image issues, etc. All of these are just as important as lust, sex, drugs, etc. 3nodding

Ok I'm new here but I'm going to ask this anyways....Maybe someone could relate or someone has lived through or is could give me some help. I have many older brother and sisters (steps, half, and real.) I was only raised with two of them though. All my mom's kid. Which is me, my twin brother, and my older sister. Well my sister was a problem child into drugs, sex, ran away from home and eventually ended homeless in Texas. A while ago. That was like 5yrs ago. She's much better now and moving home with her daughter soon! smile In 5 weeks! But now my brother he's starting the same stuff. We are the same age my sister was when she started this stuff as well. I've never been a problem child. I'm the opposite. Always trying to keep the peace and please everyone. Always giving advice even to my mom. But my brother is a problem child and my sister was. Both of them receive more attention and it's for doing bad. And I don't but get yelled at for the tiniest things but my brother barely gets introuble for stealing. No this isn't a jealously thing but how do you deal with the problem children getting more attention than you and you being the child thats just there? I stay in my room a lot to avoid the arguing and I spend sometime with my mom when none of my siblings are around so I don't have to hear "You're started to act like them" And I get yelled at for my beliefs in God. And mine are always the ones that get shot down and I get made to cry when my brother doesn't even believe...I feel like that I get put out because I make a point to be good and to try and keep peace and to follow the bible. So how do yall deal with it and does anyone else face this problem?

I'm not sure about my memory, but I believe that Rurouni_Kunoichi has a non-christian family and has dealt with that kind of stuff. You should talk with her sometime. 3nodding
Here's my advice: First of all, never stop praying. Prayer is huge, and can have a big impact.
Second of all, I'm not sure how good of an idea this is, but maybe you could talk to your mom about these things that are on your mind. You could bring up how it would help if she took some disciplinary action and stopped letting your brother getting away with such big things. Also just state how lonely and how unfair things feel to you. But that's just a suggestion, and I'm not sure how good of an idea that is. But hey, would it hurt? sweatdrop
Lastly, don't give up being a christian role model. Keep being nice. Keep doing what's right. Keep on keeping peace. It's great that you're doing these things, especially when nobody seems to notice. But remember this: even if nobody in the whole world notices your hard work, God does. I hope this helps, and try and talk wtih Rurouni_Kunoichi. biggrin

Okay, lets give this a wack
I know being a normal teenage girl, I will go through my guy problems, As some of you might no, I was going out with a non-christian guy a while ago, I broke up with him and 2 or 3 months later, started going out with this other guy, he was a christian but he wasn't very strong in christ, he was into all the wrong things that had to do with girls. lets just say I got a little into it, and then after going out for 2 months, it got broken off and I sort of went into melt down mode. I was his longest relationship and he was my shortest. I turned to things that a lot of teenagers would do to make themselves feel better instead of God. when I finally gave it up to God, I felt so much better. Right now I like this strong devoted christian guy, and I know that he likes me but he lives 2 states away from me. we decided that we want to be friends and get to know eachother, but I still am very distracted from God by him, and I have no idea how I can't be. I know this is only a minor problem, but in my life right now, it's huge. and I feel like just this stupid little girl right now that can't seem to do anything right.
I guess I just have a bunch of little things in my life that get rolled up into one big one and they're all just way too distracting to God. so... any advice?

I have something to get off my chest xD
In my time in the spring play at my school, we all had fun n' stuff. So after the second show , Andrew said he would invite people over to his house overnight. I went over to his house not expecting something.
His parents let people drink. Everyone there (about 6 or 7 people) all highschoolers, about 3 freshman , they were drinking o-o
Me, being here, of course, didnt drink. I tried to persuade one freshman to not drink but he hadnt in 6 months so he went on anyway.He got "hammered" after what I thought was about 9 shots. Andrew didnt drink so he could make sure ntohing happened. Well, next thing we know, the freshman who had 9 shots is keeled over the toilet, with me and this one senior girl next to him. He's puking and stuff and pretty much looks really sick. His mom didnt know he was going to be over there so she got worried and thats all Ive heard of that.
I cant beleive Andrew's parents let a bunch of highschoolers into their alchohol. They knew about it.
What Im trying to get at is drinking at young ages. This is a perfect example of this and what could happen, especially when peer pressure is involved. o-o Yeah learn from this guy's mistakes.

Wow...I didn't know that. But then again, I'm not that surprised...because it's Andrew. He enjoys being called evil. eek (Me and Spleen know eachother in real life, and I know Andrew too...just in case you didn't know)
Yeah I've known a few people who are into drinking...and I honestly feel sad for them. In fact, just today on the bus Andrew was talking to a girl about what are technically "drugs" and what aren't. The girl said alchohol wasn't really a "drug" because if you use it correctly, there are no long term effects. She said that she had drinken before, and I was surprised! This girl was accepted to Harvard! Why is she drinking? confused
It's just another thing people use to try and fill the God-shaped hole inside of them...
