CORIANN WRITES: I have never worn makeup or put a lot of thought into how I look. Recently though, I have found myself thinking about beauty and fashion, and being more interested in it than before. Is it okay to pursue these interests if my intent is to be modest and not cover up my natural beauty? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

MAX WRITES: How can a younger teen like me, who’s only 13, make a difference in the world and accomplish hard things? I haven’t even entered high school yet! I just love to hear all these amazing stories about different teens doing hard things, and yet I ask myself, how can I do that? It seems impossible and I just feel confused and disappointed about myself. I hear all these great ideas...
HANNAH WRITES: These past couple of weeks I’ve had a non-Christian friend who keeps blaming God for death. She continues to question me about it, thinking I have all the answers. But the truth is, I have no idea what to say. Death is a really hard thing to explain to someone (especially if they’re a non-Christian!) and I don’t want to say something she may take the wrong way or...
FAITH WRITES: Throughout my life I’ve been emotionally abused and neglected. I’ve been told that I am worthless, and treated as though I am. Because of these things, I developed trust issues and a messed up understanding of what it means to be loved. I’ve never doubted God’s love, but having those lies thrown at me on a regular basis continually hurts the way I see myself...
R. WRITES: Recently a friend of mine told me that she thought she was pregnant. As time goes on, that reality seems more and more likely. She is a believer, but she’s hurting a lot. What can I do to help her? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section! There are currently 7 Comment(s) Have something else you’d like to discuss?

DELANEY WRITES: I have recently developed a heart for those who find themselves attracted to members of the same gender. It’s not their fault that they’re more prone to this particular sin and yet the church often shuns them and treats them as if they are somehow less than human. Don’t get me wrong, I firmly believe that homosexuality is directly against the Bible (Rom. 1:24-27;...
CHRISTOPHER WRITES: I have been thinking, rethinking, and overthinking about becoming a Christian filmmaker, but I don’t know anything about it. I don’t even know how to start learning about it. I’ve been looking for people to talk to who work in this field to get more information, but those people are few. They seem even more non-existent among teens, at least where I am. Is...
OLIVIA WRITES: One of my friends lost one of her best friends a few days ago. It’s been really hard for her, because it was so sudden. How can we get over something like this and fill the gap left when someone so important to us is no longer in our lives? Share Your Thoughts in the Comment Section!

ALLIE WRITES: With caucuses, primaries and other elections coming up in the United States, I’ve been thinking a whole lot about politics lately. I feel like I can’t do very much, since I’m not old enough to vote. I try to stay educated on current issues, but how can I make an impact in the political world as a rebelutionary who can’t vote? Share Your Thoughts in the...
ANONYMOUS WRITES: How do you deal with injury? I recently broke my elbow but there’s more to it than just pain. My right arm is useless so I can’t do much, and even then it’s harder than it should be. (For instance it took me 5 minutes to figure out how to open a pop bottle.) I tend to get grumpy. For those of you who’ve been through this sort of thing, how did you handle...
