    About this ebook

    Life is hard. It doesn't matter how old you are or where you are from. One thing that we all have in common is, we all experience pain, happiness, anxiety and the list goes on. I know I have felt all of these emotions and I still do to this day. However, I still try my best daily to counteract these feelings with the reality that God loves me. Knowing that, I am then able to focus my attention on the characteristics and emotions that the Lord gave me: Love, joy, peace, gentleness, self-control, patience, kindness, goodness and faithfulness. (Galatians 5:22-23).

    Being a teen is hard. Sometimes it sometimes even hurts. I have had many instances where I have had to tear myself away from the filthy and enticing ways of this world. And although I may be young, I have had to say a lot of ‘No’s’ in my lifetime. No to sex, no to drugs, no to disrespecting my parents, no to violence, no to profanity and the list goes on. As I have said before I am not perfect, I have failed many times in my life and reality is that I still do.
