We were created by God to be connected with others in relationships. God created Adam so he could fellowship with him. God created Eve to fellowship with Adam. God’s word says in Genesis 2:18 “It is not good for the man to be alone.” God knew that we would need friends. There is something designed in all of us that desires to connect with others, teenagers are no exception. Teenagers seem to have a strong desire to be part of “the group”. This means different things to different people, however, the bottom line is, everyone wants to “belong”.

Wanting to belong and have meaningful friendship is great, however, to what extent will you go to “belong”, or be able to say that someone is your “friend”. This is where I see that most teenage girls get trapped. They want to “fit in” so badly that they often make poor choices that often lead to heartaches and disappointments.

Can anyone out there relate???
