Peer Pressure...
Being 17 is an age where you're in the thick of high school, figuring out who you are, and trying to navigate relationships, friendships, and future plans. As a Christian, one of the biggest challenges you might face during this time is peer pressure. It's something almost everyone encounters, but it can feel tricky when you're trying to live out your faith in a world that sometimes pulls you in the opposite direction.
Peer pressure can target your beliefs and values. You may feel tempted to compromise your faith to fit in, especially when it seems like everyone else is making different choices. But standing firm in your faith doesn't mean you have to live a boring or isolated life. Instead, it means choosing to live with purpose and integrity
So, how do you handle peer pressure as a 17-year-old Christian? Here are a few things that I have found can help you stay strong in your faith while navigating the challenge.
The people you surround yourself with can either lift you up or drag you down. While it’s important to be kind and respectful to everyone, be intentional about who you allow into your inner circle. Choose friends who respect your faith, encourage your values, and don’t pressure you to compromise what’s important to you.
Peer pressure is real, and it can be tough, but it doesn’t have to define your high school experience. When you stand strong in your faith, trust in God, and surround yourself with the right people, you can rise above the pressure and live a life that honors who you are and what you believe. So, when the pressure builds, remember: God’s got your back, and you’re never standing alone. Until next time, LILYYYY!:)
