How hard is it for you guys? or is it easy? For me it's easy!!:D Just give your all to Him and put your mindful efforts and hearts into reading the Word, speaking the Word and acting on it, only to bring you closer to Him! Everything isn't such a blur anymore once He has opened your eyes!

The high school I go to is a Christian international school. But almost all of the students are not Christian.

Truthfully, it's getting easier almost everyday.

At first it was all blurry and kind of hard to deal with, but now God has opened my eyes so much that it is hard to not speak the Word and act on it. A lot of the students think that I am crazy, but I am more sane then I have ever been.

Nooooo.. :) My mum always taught me about woman hood. I entered it last year, ever since then I acted like a woman of God yet I am so young. No one believed in me of that, except for some. I believe that if you keep at it.. You too will enter woman hood early.. if it's in God's plan for you! WHO KNOWS.. maybe you already have ;D

It's easy. Live by example. Acknowledge evil, but do not shove "good" down evil's throat, and kindly resist it instead.

I think it's funny that I, as a "preacher's son," have not been ridiculed like everyone expects me to be. My sister comes to me all the time about people making fun of her because she's a preacher's daughter, but I've never had that problem... I think it's just a personality problem my sister has lol, very dictatorial =P

Public schools are so full of crap. I don't find it hard to resist the temptations though, never have. The only temptations even CLOSE to tempting were sexual ones, because those are natural, but I haven't put myself in bad situations, so s'all good =P

I'm not saying you guys are lieing or anything, but for me it is extremely hard. I tried to form a prayer group at my school, our school is around 800 students, we needed 5 for it, and only 3 including me were interested. Non of my friends are christians. I find it a struggle every single day. In the world we live, being a Christian is the hardest thing to do. It is a tough race, but we will be rewarded greatly at the finish line.

That honestly must suck... But you DO have a small advantage- At least the people professing to be Christians are probably actual Christians ~_o

In the schools I've been to, while they were public schools, the communities are still predominantly "Christian." Small towns in the south, that's just how it is. However, there are SO many people who claim to be Christians who I believe do not know God at all, and it's really disheartening to see so many people claiming to follow God, and then going and getting wasted every weekend.

And these are schools of 200-400 ~_o Heck, I think the school I'm in now is like 200, from K-12. There are 9 in my graduating class, because most of the others got addicted to drugs or got pregnant. And the sad thing is, when we had a "see you at the pole," EVERYONE in the school showed up... See what I mean?

Jesus was very clear on this subject to:

Matthew 7:15-23

15"Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. 16By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? 17Likewise every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. 18A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. 19Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. 20Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them.
21"Not everyone who says to me, 'Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only he who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, 'Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and in your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?' 23Then I will tell them plainly, 'I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!'

you will be blessed in your adult life if you follow christ when you are young

it may not be easy and you may fall at times, but it is well worth it
if you're parents are not christians or have different faith it will be nearly impossible, but in school and surrounded my so many others who can be supportive when others are not, will help you succeed and be strong

How hard is it for you guys? or is it easy? For me it's easy!!:D Just give your all to Him and put your mindful efforts and hearts into reading the Word, speaking the Word and acting on it, only to bring you closer to Him! Everything isn't such a blur anymore once He has opened your eyes!
