Teens and End Times

After trying to stay strong and enforce the rules of "Obey your parents" and "Do your Homework" we have came to a difficult decision to call out for help.  Sometimes teens just wont listen and what else is there to do.  Please keep my 16 year old in your prayers for the days we are living in are evil and it is so hard for him.  He tries to study his Bible and has so many attacks from this wicked world that he is in some hard times right now.  Yes it's hard for any family raising teens in the world we are living in today!  We must stay strong for them and for the other family members involved.  It will get better.  He will get better too!

Raising Teens and Discipline

Raising children in today's world gives parents a whole different aspect as to what they face as compared to 100 years ago.  Back then they didn't have such things as cell phones,computers,motorcycles and all the worldly possessions that we try to obtain today.  It's hard to get a grip on your teen when they are a million miles away in cyberspace or texting their friends trying to make plans that don't match up with the plans you already have for them.  What do you do when you have a teen yelling and screaming thinking you are going to do things their way or no way?  Number one thing is to pray!  Ask God to help you be strong and give you wisdom as to what you should say and do when you have an out of control teen.  Pray in the name of Jesus and ask for all evil spirits to flee.  Speak in a slow soft tone even though you want to explode yourself because you don't understand why your teen would act in such a manner.  Don't give in when you set limits and expectations of your teen.  Even if it means an all niter reminding them that you are the parent when they are 16 and when they get to be 18 and move out then you will still be the parent but they can make their own choices then.  They will never be too old to get advice though it's just part of being a parent.  One day they will understand.  About the time they are in the same situation with their own child.

Troubled Teens

Well it's been a while since I have blogged due to the fact that there are many troubled teens in the world!! Why do kids have to be so mean to other kids? Peer pressure used to be a big issue back when I was in school and now with technology it seems to be at an all time high. Cell phones,internet,social networking groups, and public schools are just open opportunities for the so called bully. I have found it very important not just to monitor my teens behavior but also keep an eye on the so called friends and others that are involved with everyday life. A lot can happen in a matter of minutes when it comes to teens and we must stay on our toes every second when it comes to their safety. I encourage all parents to monitor the online activity that your teen is involved with even to the point of finding out passwords and all internet activity. It may save their life one day.
