If something is wrong, it's
wrong, no matter how many
people do it. Suppose a
group of your friends
started throwing stones
through windows in the
neighborhood.
Would it be okay just
because everyone did it?
Of course not! It would
be wrong whether one
person or everyone in
school did it. You can be
sure that the police and
the homeowners would say
it was wrong!
If a lot of kids swear,
cheat, lie, do drugs,
drink, smoke, disobey
their parents, shoplift,
or do something else that
is wrong, don't think
that you have to do it,
too. You should do what
is right, even if you are
the only one. That's what
God wants. If the group
you hang around with does
things that are wrong and
pressures you to join them,
find another group.
Get away from kids who are
always tempting you to do
wrong.
KEY VERSE:
"This I say therefore,
and testify in the Lord,
that ye henceforth walk
not as other Gentiles walk,
in the vanity of their mind,
Having the understanding
darkened, being alienated
from the life of God through
the ignorance that is in them,
because of the blindness of
their heart: Who being past
feeling have given themselves
over unto lasciviousness,
to work all uncleanness with
greediness."
~Ephesians4:17-19
