Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted February 5, 2009 Share Posted February 5, 2009 Apparently facebook is free from all expectations of being on a peer ministry team due to first amendment rights. Apparently, it is also acceptable to call for the impeachment of your youth minister on facebook as well. What is wrong with these kids? I have more stories, but why? This makes me angry. And I'm not even the youth minister or involved with the peer ministry team! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So while their mouths may be working, their brains are not always in gear, so they don't always see the practical ramifications or future consequences of their behavior.

What is wrong with these kids? The internet to them is a safe haven to do things that otherwise they could not do. Everyone scoffs at this but if you sit back and see what is going on you'd all understand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The frontal lobe of your brains reaches maturity at about 25. Interestingly this is when society and the church has usually considered the beginning of adulthood. I can definitely see a difference in judgement in many kids between even say 23 and 25. Its sad that society today expects kids to make so many life-defining decisions and pushes autonomy and freedom from parental ties before the person is even physically ready.

And I agree with you about society pushing youth to grow up faster and faster. I can already see the difference from when I was in junior high and now with my sister in junior high. It's changed so much. The kids I'm talking about though are in high school. They aren't even 18 yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
