As a mother of four children, I have learned so many things about having children and training them. One of the things which I have learned is that, children, especially teenagers are still young to mame decisions for themselves.
Then, to every parent who has a teenager or kids who are not up to that age range, they should hold their hands firmly until they are old to make the right decisions. How is a teenager meant to live his or her life?
It is written in the book of Philippians 1:27 which says that; “Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel;”

In a nutshell, all what teenagers need to do is learn the ways of the Lord, live by it and follow the guide but, this cannot be done alone and this is where the parent comes in.
And to achieve that, all of these lessons and trainings ought to have started even before getting to the teen age. So that on getting to the teen age, getting used to lifestyles like this will not seem weird or unbearable for them.
Also, teenagers should not only read the Bible but they should act it out and do what it says. If they do that, they are doing the righg thing and following the right path which is that of the Lord.
