Standing Strong - Part 1
As teenagers, you will face times where you may feel as if you must compromise one of your personal beliefs or goals because of the people around you. I hope to give you some advice so that when you are confronted with these situations, you will know how to respond, and you will walk away from the situation without compromise.
I remember when I was younger, just a few years ago, I never really thought about how to avoid what I was trying to avoid. Now I know though, that there is a way to avoid certain things, and in order to do so you must have a plan to resist negative pressures.
Do you have a plan to resist negative pressures? Have you ever thought that this would be something that could help you? Well… If you don’t have one. Now is the perfect time to develope one for yourself. Think about how you would handle certain situations. Maybe you are trying to avoid drinking alcohol. So think of all the different things you could do to avoid being placed into a situation where you feel as if there is no other option than to drink.Or maybe you want to avoid having any sort of sexual expression until you get married. Think of all the situations you can avoid where there would be a high chance of being forced into a compromise.
I’m going to stop here and let you think about it. Tomorrow I will post the rest of Standing Strong…
