1 Timothy 4:12
"Don't let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in life, in love, in faith and
in purity."
TGIF and 3 tets complete ... I honestly can't thank God enough for weekends.
I just discovered a new band worth the listen. They're called Palisade. The lyrics are deep and they do a few vocally beautiful old hymns with a bit of a rock edge at times.
So ... The Bible Mel bought me has some pretty awesome but frightening statistics written in it ... just so you know they are American ststs ... here's a few:
47% of adults think girls should wait until marriage to have sex (44% for boys), yet 89% do not think girls will wait (91% for boys)
80% of the videos on MTV that tell a story combine sex and voilence.
Bullied kids are 5 times more likely to be despressed.
Approximately half of all new HIV infections occur in people under age 25.
9/10 parents think that today's media contributes to kids becoming too materialistic, using bad language, jumping into sexual sctivities at a younger age and behaving antisocially.
58% of teen guys say tattoos and 54% say piercings are not sexy.
Well, I'm off to NOTL for a walk with the family. Hope you enjoyed these stats. They sure do prove how the world (especually the lives of teens) is totally going downhill!
I have a hard time believing that that many teen guys thing tattoos/piercings aren't sexy. Everyone I've met thought so, but they're older so.. I guess that doesn't count. Ah well, explains why I don't hang out with those kinds of people. :P
