I have a burden for the teenage girls of Fria. Teenage life is one of the most complicated stages in human development. It has always been difficult and stressful for teenagers to make good decisions. They are swayed by peer pressure, the desire to fit in, physical changes taking place in their bodies and the desire to rise to expectations. Teenage life is clearly a battlefield for the great controversy between right and wrong, with both external and internal battles to win. Therefore, we as parents and leaders in the community and church should help them. At this age, they cry out for help, but we do not always hear them. We must not just wait for them to talk to us. We must be on the lookout to see if they are isolating themselves or acting rebellious or resentful. These are cries for help, too.
