Don’t let anyone look down on you because you are young, but set an example for the believers in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, and in purity.
1 Timothy 4:12
Teenage years are confusing years for everyone growing up. It is the bridge between childhood and adulthood. Teenagers are exposed to a lot of pressures and choices in the world. It is important for them to make the right choices in order to have a good future.
There will be a lot of roads in front of every teenager eventually and it is important that they select the best one. It is impossible to know exactly what the future will hold for them but as Christian parents, we must make sure that we usher them along the best paths.
When you are young, people do not pay much attention to you. You may feel insignificant from time to time but this is no reason to look down on yourself.
How bright your future will be will depend on the choices you make as a teenager. Sure those choices may not seem important or relevant to you right now but you should know that they will shape and determine your adulthood.
Christian caregivers must take responsibility for these teens. God has placed something different in each one of them and has planned exactly what their future should look like.
Helping a teenager achieve their full potential is the job of every Christian caregiver. We should be careful not to force them down a path that we feel is right for them but we should pray to God concerning their lives so that the right paths for them will be revealed to us.
By just talking to them and raising them with love and understanding, we will learn exactly what the Lord has destined them to do. We must teach them to take up the responsibility to serve God in purity and honor.
We must help them to not defile their bodies with the impurities of this world but preserve it like the temple it is. We must teach them to not be swayed by bad company but be wise in the Lord and only seek to do what is right at all times.
A teenager who finds strength and wisdom in the Lord will be a strong adult who also raises strong children in the Lord.

Teenagers may be confused most of the time because they are constantly learning new things about the world they were born into. The word of God is the light that we point unto their paths so that they are not lost.
We have to be their shepherd and find them when they stray otherwise they may be stolen by evil. We must draw closer to them and make sure that they know they are loved and can share every trouble they face with us. With the help of God and constant guidance, they will grow into powerful God-fearing adults who will also raise children in Christ Jesus.
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the LORD, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
Jeremiah 29:11
How can a young person stay on the path of purity? By living according to your word.
Psalm 119:9
