Peer pressure, youth
Society in general and teens in particular are under great peer pressure to conform and fit into the group. Everybody wants to be part of the group, so it’s really hard when the group is doing things that you know are not right. Years of training and a strong sense of right and wrong are needed to keep from making bad or life threatening mistakes. What ways did you help your youth? If they do make mistakes and we’ve trained them properly, remember, they do have free agency. We can’t beat ourselves up if they make a wrong choices.

We need to praise youth that are different. They are often the creative ones who will make our world better. Some may just be crying for attention. Try mentoring one of these youth and making a difference by letting them know someone cares. It could save the lives of their fellow students.
