Ok everyone, so I just wanted to thank you all for you suggestions.  I know it took me a long time to write a new entry, but I’ve been at camp (well I’m still at camp, but I have more time now). So I’ve been thinking and I am going to write about teens. I’ll be talking about what we as teen should aspect from other teen, adults and where our place is in the Church, our homes, and also the world. So this is also going to be split into a few parts, I’m not sure how many but I know it will be a few. So let’s get started.

First I’ll start with how I feel we should look at and be with other teens. Now just in case you didn’t know I am 18 (but I will be 19 in September) so I’m a teen too. How should we as teens be towards each other? We really need to spot be so disrespectful, if we want to be respected by others (adults, kids, teens, and God), as of now we teens as a howl do not deserve respect, we (as a howl) don’t give respect to other therefore we should not get any.  We need to stop being rude, we need to show and be responsibility. All this crud joking must stop (Ephesians 5:3-7 “But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God’s holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: no immoral, impure or greedy person- such a man is an idolater- has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God. Let no one deceive you with empty words, for because of such things God’s wrath comes on those who are disobedient. Therefore do not be partners with them. ) we need to not even let others around us do them. We need to start being uplifting to one and other, all this teasing needs to come to an end. The sarcasm doesn’t help anyone. We are to use our words to help others and bring good things to the ears of those who hear us talk.

Now I don’t want you to think I’m perfect in this, because I’m really not. This is something that’s been on my mind for a long time now, and I am trying to keep a tight range on my tongue (James 1: 26-27). I know it’s hard and I don’t want to make it sound easy, because it’s not, if anyone tells you it is THEY  ARE  LEIING!!!! This is going to be something that you are always going to have to be conches of; you are going to have to work very very hard at this. But this needs to become not what we practice, but it needs to become a life style.

It goes farther than this, we need to be more than anyone expects, many people don’t expect anything from us so it’s easy to just not try doing great things. But is that how we should be? Are we not telling them that there is no rezone to have any faith in us accomplishing anything good? What then should we do to get them to know we can do great thing and be great people, who they can and should expect great things from? By doing thing on our own that they may not have even asked us to do, think about it. If we chose to learn to do things we will have to do when we’re on our own now. What will that show to those who think poorly of us? When we show we have a plane of where we are going in life, will that not show that we can go places? I want you to try this out, and tell me what you do and then what happens after you do it.

This is really something for us to work on. Let’s show every one that we can give and therefore deserve respect, let’s show then and we are responsible and therefore deserve more responsibilities. Let’s show them that we can be great roll models, and therefore deserve better ones from them.
