Peer pressure? I know I've gone through it, and I bet that sometime in your life, you will too. I was a at a weekend conference with my youth group once, and I was given this list along with the other girls.
I found it again when cleaning out my room, and I thought I would share it with you. :) These steps are simply the ones we hear in Sunday School all the time, but sometimes a refresher is a good thing, especially when we throw all rationality out the window.
1. Stand up for what you believe in
2. Read your Bible and pray every day (I'll be honest. I need to work on reading my Bible every day.)
3. Be confident in your faith in Christ
4. When praying or asking for help from the Lord, don't just casually pray
5. Always have a prayer in your heart
6. Doing what everyone else does might look fun, but if you know it's wrong to do, try to have the strength to say no
7. Be friends with other Christian people
8. Don't associate with people who swear all the time, drink/do drugs, cheat, etc. (The worst part is when some of these people ARE the Christians)
9. Avoid situations that may cause you to give in to peer pressure
10. Have courage! (Philippians 4:13)
