TAYA ~ Teens and Young Adults

When you go into schools all across the U.S. you would think that the kids are there for an education; to learn, get challenged, and to reach goals they never thought were attainable. Well think again. Schools these days are full of smart comments about who had sex with who the past night or who their gonna have sex that night.

Ok… stop the train. We are in HIGH SCHOOL! Ages 13-18. We should not be thinking about these things this young of age.

I bet everyone is saying oh shes a hypocrite and oh shes square. Your right i’m square.

I absolutely hate hearing these things as I walk down the halls. I am a christian. I wear a purity ring. A ring that stands for abstinence. A symbol that shows everyone that I am not having sex until i’m married.

God intended for us to save this precious gift until marriage. He tells us that when we are to get married, we shall have to precious gift of sex. That when two bodies come together, they form into one flesh. Together.. forever. That is what it is for.

To give that precious gift is to put two people together in a way that is so special and so amazingly gracious of God to do.

Why in the world would you want to give that up when you are in high school?

High school are the years when you find who you are and who you want to be along with the true friends that will guide you down the right path. It real breaks my heart to see all of these teenagers giving up something that is so precious and cannot be taken back for granted.

I know how tough these years are because I am living in them. I have seen my dues of pressures with this subject along with the horrible outcomes of some decisions but I know that all almost’s are better then dones. I had enough fail and courage to say “NO” to the peer pressures of this world and of the sex driven society we have today.

I think that teenagers don’t understand that if they into a situation that they can’t handle, they can’t get out of it. That they are stuck. You are not stuck. Saying no is the best thing you will ever do in any of these situations. Yea.. you might get some grief or get teased on how they didn’t “score” on you last night, but the outcome of you being scared to say no is a greater burden on your heart then anything else you will ever go through.

The outcomes could have been an unwanted pregnancy, a serious disease that can never go away, or the worst of them all the guilt that covers your heart and mind every single minute of every day.

The guilt that you feel will always stay with you even until your death. When your wedding night comes and you get asked if you are a virgin and you have to tell the person sitting next to you, the one that you love that you aren’t, that is all the pain in the world as its self.

So before you go and make the 1 minute of “pleasure”, think about your future, heart, and consiquences that may follow after that one lingering minute of “pleasure.”

Hey!! I am currently a junior in High School. I go to youth group every week and I attend weekend events once or twice a year called Deco-TEC. I wish I could tell people that I am perfect and that I never struggle with anything but in all reality, I am just like everybody else in this world but the one thing that I have that a lot of high schoolers don't have is a relationship with God(: I am the most blessed girl that that was the plan to meet him sooner than most teens! So I am here to show people it doesn't matter how young you are to have a heart for God! I hope that my blogs are inspirational and would love for people to give me new ideas and topics to write about and also feedback for my other blogs to see how I can make them better<3
