Praise the Lord! I had to wait for God's timing on dealing with Teens Corner, for I know this is something we hold close and dear to our hearts, our children are our pride and joy and I know myself included is very protective over what goes into our children. I thank God for wisdom on the topics that He has given me, the anointing to teach this, and the teenager that He has given us so that I can not only teach but know that by first hand experience. My prayer for the Teens Corner is that this will be a place that teenagers feel they can come and get answers to the everyday life problems and struggles, as well as a place for parents to get more insight in dealing with their teenager. I thank you for taking the time to visit and I pray you leave being blessed.
God's Broken Vessel

 | How do I deal with peer pressure?
When I was coming up there was peer pressure, but I don't think it was nearly like it is nowadays. Often parents try to give advice to their teenagers from when they were a teenager but time has really changed,so now we have to actually allow ourself to really hear them and see through their eyes, and seek God's face on how to speak to them, because the wrong attitude or word could cause them to get caught up in something they were trying to talk to you about. Peer Pressure, is being pressured by your friends, associates, it can sometimes be by people who are your family memebers as well. To pressure someone is to try and get this person to do something that you know they really don't want to do, but you feel if you nag them or keep at it, they will eventually give in. I encourage my young people to know that we do serve a true and living God, and He will give you a way out every time. In the natural we say peer pressure, for the spiritual way of speaking let's call it fighting temptation. The scripture that comes to mind is:
1 Corinthians 10:13
There hath no temptation taken you ut such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be ale to bear it.
*God will not enable us to escape temptation, but He will enable us to land intact on the other side.*

This is a question that my own son asked me, and I had to go before God, because I did not have the answer. I didn't start really walking with God until after I became a mature woman. When you are young I know that it must be even harder to do. Kids can be so cruel and when you do something that is differnt from what others may do it causes for extra attention to be put on you, and often times children are just being children not realizing their lack of maturity. Having a relationship with God is not something to ever be ashamed of. God is like the wind you can not see it but you can feel it. Meditate on this scripture:
Psalm 34:11
Come, ye children, hearken unto me: I will teach you the fear of the Lord.

Often times we all want to know this very answer and I will tell you like I tell the older ones, God loves us enough to sacrifice His only Son, and to have mercy upon us and make us from His own image; know that God took the time out to make every part of you, your mother carried you for nine months, but only God knows the very strands on your head. God loves you more than you will ever know, that's why Jesus died on the cross so that we could have life.
1 John 4:10
Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
1 John 4: 19
We love him, because he first loved us
| | | How do I deal with my parents divorce?
Teens are not responsible for their parents marriage, however they do have to live with the choices and consequences that their parents make. NO one should judge anyone only God really knows and understands each situation. Because every situation is different and each child is different I encourage each teen to find an adult to talk with if you are angry with your parents or do not understand. I ask God for a special prayer for each teen reading this that God will keep you and comfort you in your time of need. And if you are an adult reading this and a teen has come to you make sure that you stay neutral and remind them their parents need love and support, too.
