So by now you should know that there are some bad things that this world can produce, drugs, alcohol, suicide, and other stuff like that. Okay, all those things come from the devil, they are not of this world, they are from Hell and you should not be following them. Maybe at school there's the cool little group and they are smoking and they invite you to come and have a smoke! Warning: Do not turn from God. That stuff is bad for your body it doesn't do you good, and most of all, it doesn't make God happy to see one of His children begin to turn away. Just like in our blog Don't Turn Away, during the summer you can be lazy and not know what to do, but keep your eyes right on Jesus not on the things this world tells you you should be doing. It's not what God wants, it may not be what you want but don't let someone force it onto to you. You know, my uncle used to smoke when I was about 10 (I'll be 13 Nov 4th!), my sisters and I would always pray to God that would keep Him safe and that He would not turn from God. We always would write little letters and send them in the mail. After a hard few months, my uncle finally stopped smoking! God was with Him all along. If you have someone in your family thats doing things of this world, pray for them, ask God to be right next to them so they can be with you in Heaven. Sometimes things may not always go as you want them to, but God knows you, and He knows that you will be ok. Maybe in a couple of years, you are down the wrong path and you have begun to take drugs and you smoke, JUST PRAY! Ask God to help you, I mean, God has the greatest power ever! He can heal you. People around you will help you too and give you a place to stay. God is there, He will never desert you. But try to not fall as a teen, and try to never fall, and don't to things of THIS world, do thing of our Heavenly world
