I live in the most unchurched city in America, So there is lots of sin and such that is excepted. A result of this is pretty much everyone does drugs, and/or is bi or homosexual. To give you guys an idea I only know one girl that is straight edge and I know no guys that are. I know I have posted other prayer request with this topic and in the mature pray room but things are just getting worse. My group of friends of about 5 girls all like me and touch me. It is really stressful. I really need prayer that I stay strong, and that I will be a light throw God to these people.
Thanks

Am praying for you, Maka-chan. You can do all things through the strength of the Lord. It is difficult to remember that high school is not the whole world. One day (before you know it) you will be able to choose where you want to spend your time and who you want to hang around. Until then, this is a cross you must bear. Lean upon Christ Jesus, as He bore the greatest cross of all for you; you serve a God that has been through every kind of suffering. He can identify with you. He will walk with you. And, as hard as it is to believe, sometimes it is GOOD to endure trials. For a time, Christ may allow you to experience some suffering, to bear some cross, all for your good. Recall that those who suffer for Christ's sake (as I believe that you are doing) are especially blessed (maybe not in this world, but blessed just the same). You are united with Christ, getting to know Him, in a unique way because you are enduring a pain that he also endured. Having said all that, I know you are struggling and am praying that this trial will swiftly pass.

Hang in there, I can relate abit to you. My class at school is somewhat disturbing to me. They are watching all kinds off sin, even at school. Joking about stuff thats so sick and sad you start to feel ill just hearing of it. And they got absolutly no respect for God or christians overall. All you can do is pray to the Lord and stay strong and keep your distance from what they are doing. Its not to long til' ya be free from this as school doesn't last forever!
I hope everything goes well for you
, and I would like to say that its not my whole class who is like that. I hope you can be a light to you're friends and turn them away from their darkness one day!=)

I will definitely pray for you Maka. You are in a tough place. Fortunately high school
does eventually end. ^^
If them touching you makes you uncomfortable you
DO NOT have to let them do that just becuase they are your friends. It is really ok to tell them that you don't like that and to please not do that. If they're mad it's not your problem. You are their
friend, not their girl-friend.
Good for you for looking to God through this. You went to the right place
. If you ever need to talk please feel free to shoot me a PM. I will be praying!

well if it was just hugging ans stuff I wouldn't' mind, but they touch me like a teen age boy touches his new girl friend if you now what I mean. I have told them but it just continues, but I've been praying about that so hopefully that changes.
thanks

Tell God all. He's there for you and knows what to do.
You are really brave to be dealing with this. That kind of touching does not have to be tolerated. They need to understand that you are not interested and it's making you really uncomfortable. If they hear and still refuse to stop touching you that way, as sad as it is it might be time to not be hanging out with them. Them thinking that they can get away with that is bad for both of you.
Hang in there! I have prayed several times for you today and will continue to do so.
God Bless kiddo.

Thanks a lot Roz ^^
Yea I'm thinking I'm going to back away from them because I tell them to stop and they continue, but I will still pray for them and talk to them sometimes.
Thanks for praying for me again ^^

This is why our parents decided to homeschool us.
I wish I could fully understand what you're going through Maka, but unfortunatly I cannot. All I can to is pray for you. God works in ways we cannot see (I know it's cliche' but it's so true)
Wil be praying for you...
