Ever wonder what other Teens think?
Peer Pressure is acrazy thing. Sometimespeople actually pressure us to do things we normally
wouldn’t. Sometimes wefeel peer pressure that isn’t
real. We imagine that peo-ple expect or want thingsfrom us, and it influencesus.

Satan uses that to make us
 think that God doesn’t care.

work at VBS and other kid’s
camps. I just feel like every- thing has just fallen intoplace. The power of prayer isVERY strong.Satan always tries to get you to think that God

prayers. That is not true.God listens to and answers
everyone’s prayers. He just
