GodsThespianChic Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I know what ya mean, rev! I'm really surprised at a lot of the stuff that kids in Catholic school don't know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
track2004 Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 I find it really hard to stand up for myself and my faith at hs and other places because I love it so much, but at the same time I'm not a scholar by any means so I can't cite anything much or I get stumped easily. I am also insanely intemidated by adults because I am always afraid I am not respecting them the way I should. In school it's hard because not even the teachers know The Faith and it just makes me mad, and I'm not too good at controling that yet. Besides that I would have to agree on the whole Lust/ Boys thing. And the just blatent "I do what I want" atitude I see in my classmates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the just blatent "I do what I want" atitude I see in my classmates. yup! many people want to just "live for the moment' when in reality their just committing sin they want life to be without consequences, and forget that there is a God and that we have to always chose right. its hard when your friends chose the easy road of doing bad, then trying to do good. many times, the youth let the music they listen to, TV shows they see, the movies they go and watch, and the cultural around influence them so much that that is how they think they should be and follow that path....................its all poison :sadder: its hard today when doing what is right, is wrong, and doing what is wrong, is "cool" to others life isnt' like MTV, carefree, they dont show you the other side of the coin and today's feeling, "do whatever you want" is so sad, because they are lost -_- when you do not have heaven as your focus, it is easy to be misguided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Im4Him Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Hardest thing?... Keeping God in the center of my life. Remembering that He is far more iimportant than homework, tests, scholarship applications, tuition, studying, friends, work, and anything else that can take up all my time. Trying to live a Catholic life at college where it feels like no one else cares. Dealing with people (family and friends included) who act like they think less of me because of my faith. Standing up to those who challenge what I believe. Well, that's definitely more than one thing, but there are time when each one of them seems to be the hardest. It depends on what the situation is.

Janana8706 Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 one thing i find hard is standing up for what i believe, and trying to keep that from judging peeps, I believe that pre-marital sex is wrong, but my best freidn told me over the summer that she might b preg. I was like i will alwayz b here for you and it won't change a thing. It was really hard, for a while i was scared, but when she knew she wasn't preg. i started thinkin about it, and was like i can't believe she did it. (we're still best freinds and i still love her as if she were the only person around, but there are several peeps like that if that makes sense) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
track2004 Posted January 12, 2004 Share Posted January 12, 2004 my best freidn told me over the summer that she might b preg. I was like i will alwayz b here for you and it won't change a thing. Ya I found out my best friend from my freshman year is definately pregnant. I hate to say it, but it suprised me less than I wanted it to (does that make sense because I'm trying to say something and I don't know if I said it right?). Anyway I have been praying for her all the time, and I had been hoping to see her at Mass which I did on Christmas at midnight. It was great I was so glad He let her be there. Any way we talked and I told her the same thing you to your friend. I love her, I don't like what she did, but I still love her. So ya friends are hard to deal with sometimes, but you still got to love them because Christ still lives in them all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
