PEER PRESSURE

THE PROPHET'S WAYS

• Prophets had much trouble during their time and were often persecuted for telling the truth
• Their main job was to provide warnings, give comfort, & promise a better future
• people often did not want to hear what they said though
• They were put under a lot of pressure to stop, but continued being faithful to God
• We can learn a lot from how they handled their enormous amount of responsibility

FACING THE PROBLEMS HEAD ON

• Peer pressure will always exist
• The way to avoid it is to listen to your conscience
• The real problem is can you say no
• "And what does the lord require of you? To act justly and to
• love mercy and to walk humbly with your God (Micah 6:8)."

YOU CREATE YOUR OWN LIFESTYLE

• Be Independent
• Don't be dependent on others
• Don't fall under the influence of anything negative
• Follow what is right, not what is always fun

THINK BEFORE YOU ACT

• Many kids these days are under the influnce
• of drugs, alcohol, and bullying.
• We must focus on the well being of our future
• Because our future can change depending on
• the actions we do today
