Valerie I agree that the struggles of this world... in our teen years, make it hard for us to see and feel what God wants us to be doing.
Stay strong, you will be rewarded by God for fighting the good fight! The temptations of this world might seem rewarding at the time,
but the price you will pay is not worth it. Think about this...would you want your future kids or grandkids to act that way or do those things.
What kind of future you wish for them, give it to yourself first. I will pray for you, take care and God bless
