i hope you are all doing well.  i know that i can count on you guys for anything, so i come to you once again asking for help.  i apologize if i am always seeking guidance, but i am just a very unsure person who really needs others' advice.  this year i will be a senior in high school and i am really hoping to make my faith stay a part of who i am for the rest of my life.  in order to do so i am looking at colleges centered around my faith and stuff of this sort.  but at the same time i am probably going to have to leave the youth group which has become such a home for me.  i want to go away to college but i don't know if i can leave these wonderful people i have been blessed to know.  and since it is my last year i really want to share as much of who i am that i possible can.  the thing is i have a very low self-esteem and low confidence and i don't know how to share my witness in a good way.  so i was wishing that if i told you all a little about me maybe you could help me out.  so here's my story, kinda shortened up.  it may look weird, but i am going to list a lot so it makes it easier for you readers...

i have been through many struggles like:
-a broken family (no one is divorced or separated, but my immediate family never talks to each other about anything and we never see my extended family) .
-always seeming to make untrue friends.
-addiction (to things like alcohol, smoking, partying) and the withdrawal. 
-abuse (all different kinds) and neglect (from loved ones). 
-and probably my biggest battle has been ultimately self-hate and feeling unworthy (within this i have dealt with many varying types and issues of self-harm and stuff like that).

and the thing is my faith is not perfect the way it is now, it needs so much work.  but i really want to share who i am and who i have come to be-thanks to Christ's love and the many people who loved God enough to love me.  i want to give my testimony but i don't know what to include and what not to and like how much is too much detail.  i have no idea what the topic should be or anything.  all i know is that i really wanna minister and reach out to other people and i want to incorporate some sort of current media (song or movie clip maybe) so that it is easier to understand.  please help!  if you need more information about me just reply and i will write back, i try to look at the forums pretty frequently.  thank you so much!  God bless you all!

[color=blue][font="Geneva"]just looking for some criticism (good and bad is welcome)

for my witness i thought that a good theme would be: wanting life on my own terms. so since i didn't let God be in control, i wasn't ever happy so i would go out and feel so insecure and abandoned, so i would seek fake forms of satisfaction (that would actually harm me).

i dunno if that even makes sense, but either way please let me know what you think. please please please be honest though. i won't think you are mean, some of the best input i have gotten has been against what i was thinking. but please let me know what you think. thank you so much! you guys are the best!

Love In Christ,

That sounds like a good plan. Many people have had to learn the hard way that trying to f ulfill yourself never works out just right. I think it's a good start - now run with it!!
