For the last five years our team has been forging relationships with the teens and slowly they have been opening up more and more to our team. They are talking more and more about different things that they wish they had done or didn't do. Things like, "I regret being exposed to the internet," "I regret bullying people," and "I wish I had realized my friends weren't good for me earlier." These are topics that the teens themselves bring to our team and the dicussion is opened from there. In relation to the internet question the reasons were because of social media and how they recognize how they have been influenced and the problem of pornography. Our team is able to speak truth then into the teens and see how they change over this time.
The topic now is parents and thier realtionship with thier parents. Most of the parents we also have a working relationship with them and are able to work from both sides. We have the parents trust and they also push thier kids to come knowing that they are in a safe place.
