It's hard to say because many adults are not capable of what we teens can do. But many are, and many teens aren't wise.. but yet smart in their way. I'm sorry if i'm not making any sense lol.. but have you ever just wanna travel and do ministry instead of doing childish things like playing games or something?

Oh my goodness yes!!! I know exactly what you mean!! :) sometimes its like the adults put us down and think that we are too young to do crazy insane things for Jesus. I wake up every morning wishing I was on the mission field just serving him instead of everyday going to school with the same schedule everyday. :)

Agreed! I find that some adults (not all ofcourse) seem to use age as a tool to gain seneroity over youth. The fact is some one older then you can't tell you what you are capable of or if your opinion counts according to age.

When my brother got baptised last year, all everyone could say was "wow he's so young". I felt like saying "he's twelve, he knows that this is what he wants, and comments about his age aren't helping". I don't think anyone really took him seriously, and that made it quite hard for him.

Also, when we do youth group, sometimes the adults look at you and its not like they're really taking your faith seriously. Its just little stuff, not big like ministry, but it makes it hard to talk about your faith when your wondering whether anyone actually believes you.

Yeah! I tooootally understand that! A lot of adults don't think I'm different from the other teens,
but thanks to God, they are starting to see!:) Well my best wishes to your brother and you! God bless!

hmmmm, i go to msu(missouri state university) already and i am only 14. my parents and other adults say that i am young and i should enjoy being young. this is my question, why is it so difficult for grown ups to see that young ppl can be serious!? it gets me mad, kids at my school make fun of me cuz i dont "date" until i known someone for at least a year. and i hate it when my dad says something completely rong, and when i say my oppinion, he says"SHUT UP! i LIVED IN THIS WORLD LONGER THAN YOU SO I KNOW MORE!" I HATE IT SO BAD. ITS ALWAYS ABOUT THE AGE. OH AND AT MY CHURCH, YOU CANT GET BAPTIZED until you are 16! ugh........ but we just gotta understand, thats how they were raised.

Man.. Yeah I aaaalways heard that from adults.. that they've been in this world longer so they know better!? Pshh.. I say they are wrong when they make that policy for baptizing! That's crazy! Yeah we do need to understand, maybe that's how they were raised.. or who knows. You sound reeeally intelligent! lol so you better not give up on what you like to do or can do! Don't let any elder tell you otherwise.. x) God bless bro!!
