I would start with the adults.....ladies it is not sexy or cute when you wear a blouse and your belly is hanging out, especially when it flabs over your jeans! However, to answer the question...boys pull up the pants!

probably home first, then the streets, and then media. of course it's hard question to answer when all of those have a destructive influence on the youth.

that's a good question...

kinda sounds like both are to me. but is that option an answer to the one or the other question?

How can you question anything that God does?

LOL! That's a good point. I'm always quesitoning why He created cockroaches and creepy crawly bugs.

Being a mom with 5 kids, 4 teen girls it is challenging. I do share that with them but also letting them know all the consequences that I had to endure. I also share the fact that when we keep ourselves as the word of God instructs then we are blessed. So many times we focus on not doing it but not really saying why its worth waiting. Focusing on ... See MoreSTD's and pregnancy is considered nothing to many young people today. When I speak to my children I let them know that it is not just a natural connection but a spirtual soul tie when we enage in such behavior outside the will of God. Even in all that teens still face so much pressure in todays society that even in the best effort to share God's view about the matter they still give into sex. If that should happen , they really need to understand God's redemptive power in that they confess, repent and move on.

Great insights and advice. It's difficult when we expect youth to uphold standards that we weren't able to uphold.

pressure to be like everyone else...in the way they dress, the music they listen to, the cell phones they own,....

I would say dating
