So, you see Julie, your church may teach good morals to their children but the kids do what they want regardless. They follow their natural tendencies for even they are sinners. The natural man is an enemy to God, so says your BoM. It matters not what religion one is, teenagers DO WHAT they want, ignoring what they've been taught, ignoring the talks with their parents. Do you have teenagers in your home? Do you understand the the peer pressures that our teens face today? Let's get real here. Your family values do not always matter to some teens. Teens today are exposed to more than you are aware of or you wouldn't have made such a naive statement. We raised two kids, taught them moral values but in the end, they did what they wanted. It's the way of teens today and I blame TV, video games and movies. Teens have this idea that they are somehow immune to getting hurt or getting pregnant, "oh, that happens to other kids, not me". That is why teens take so many chances....I know, not only with my own kids but with taking cl***es in Child Development when attending college to become a Nurse.
