Hey Everyone,<br><br> I'm just wondering if any of you can give me some advice for dealing with some of the young ladies in my youth group. The group I'm a part of has many "Reformed" kids in the upper grades, they know how to argue it at least, but lately I've noticed some stuff I don't think is very Christianly. I don't want to hear how the youth of the nation are all sinners and going to hell, that can be said about any age group and people have said it about teens for several millenia, but I do want to know how I can deal with one really annoying practice I've seen.<br><br>Some of the older girls (and by example the younger girls too) have taken to slapping and pinching each others bottoms and making jokes about being couples and lesbian marriage and having multiple men and such, and while it's not like we have a bunch of lesbians (they all profess to be straight), I think it's wrong for these kinds of things to be joked about. The specific youth in question don't think a second thought about any of it, they just laugh and go on. My youth minister has been to busy dealing with other things (group wide stuff and personal matters) to deal with this issue in particular. <br><br>I find the entire situation awkward and unapproachable because I don't want to risk ruining my reputation again (as I did before God convicted me about the reformed faith), and I feel like I don't have the authority to say anything, but it's causing me to stumble more and I know it sets a bad example for the younger kids.<br><br>I'm sorry for how poorly written this is, but I would appreciate any suggestions on how to effectively oppose these (and other) unchristian behaviors amongst my peers, especially dealing with girls.<br><br>-Brother Luke<br><br>P.S. If further clarification is needed, post your questions cause I don't always check my mail like I should.<br>
