Do you know what goes on at a school dance?  What message is our culture communicating to our teens about dancing?

Now I'm not saying that dancing is wrong or that teens can't go to school dances.  I went to school dances.  The issue is how are our teens acting and are we helping them to live and act in a God honoring way.

Check out this article (from the source for youth ministry) that will give you a glimpse into the public school dance and let me know what you think.

One of the issues that most youth (and adults) overlook is stealing.  Yes if you ask them if stealing is wrong they would tell you yes.  If you asked them if file share is wrong they would tell you no, which is true but not in the sense that they are thinking of.

To better understand this issue check out this link to commonsensemedia.org (the video is very helpful too).  Let's be good examples to our kids and teach them what is right.

There has been some tragic stories related to bullying in the news. Over at Psychology Today they posted an article "7 Ways to Support Teen Bullying Victims"

If you are a parent you take a moment to read over this article.  It will help you watch for signs of bullying as well as give you ideas on important things that we need to teach our children.

You can't control your child's every decision but you can help your child understand that they shouldn't bully others.

Let's help our children put in to practice Jesus' command to "Love your neighbor as you love yourself" Mark 12:31
