Don’t you think a lack of family invovlement causes teens to go down the wrong path in life?
Teens need acceptance. It is a fact!!! If there is no family life invovlement than teens will find it elsewhere. Teens will turn to alcohol, sex, gangs, other things to find that acceptance. I see it all clear now. Adults use the old copout…”You can teach your kids right from wrong but they will most likely do it anyways”. I totally disagree. If kids are invovled with their parents and family, they won’t have time for other things such as hanging out until 2-3 AM Friday or Saturday night getting drunk, and having sex. It is a shame that some parents only contact with their kids are 2-3 minute conversations on cell phones. OOOOOH don’t say I am not correct. It is true. Parents are more to blame on their kids actions than kids are.

You are correct.
I agree that society has let the children down. I believe that the decline of children’s morals and self-esteem coincides with the time in history when mother’s decided it was more important to have a career than to stay at home and do their real job of nurturing the children that they brought into the world.
Now, because of our economic situation, women have to work just to make ends meet.
Mother’s need to make a choice….raise the children that God has blessed them with or choose the career path and let your gifts from God suffer.
Train your children up in the way that they should go and when they are old will not depart from it.
That takes family involvment. The children need to grow up with the knowledge that they are to leave the home & be productive & successful in their own life & family.
Yes I think so very much. I was raised in a religious family but thank the lord that my sister who happened to be the first believer in my family was there for me to a point.
I wished my whole family was saved at that time. I did get into things that I wasn’t very proud and God used my sister to show his love to me.
My parents also tried to reach out to me but I always felt more criticized and judged by them. To me it didn’t come across to me as love even though that was their ownly way to communicate to me at that time. It was my sister’s love for God that reached out to me.
It makes me smile when I think about the memories of her, church activities, and the times she would study the bible with me. I found more comfort with that then going to some of those parties I used to go to in my youth.
I just wanted to have good clean fun but I didn’t really know all that many christian teens my age at the time. I think that I related more to my sister then the teens in her church at that time.
(In my parents church I can remember sunday school and they did talk abit about Jesus. But I so longed to hear more about him at that time.)
I was a very troubled teen in my youth and I wish that I had much more guidence back then because my sister couldn’t always be there for me all the time. Even though God did make sure she was around the corner sometimes. She was God’s little spy with me.
(Too long a story.)
Yes, kids need their Mom and their Dad. They need the security of knowing that their parents are going to be there for them. When they go to sleep at night, they need to know that Mom and Dad will still be together in the morning.
Unfortunately, most marriages today don’t work that way. The kid is lucky if Mom and Dad are still together for his first birthday party.
Why is this?
Could it be because God is not a part of their lives, or their marriage?
Why is this?
Because we have let a few idiots kick Him out of the public arena, and He has, as one good Christian regular says “taken His blessings with Him”.
