Why......?
For just a three letter word it has a great deal of power if used with the right words and in some cases the wrong words. With the right words it can convince you something good really is true and right. With the right words used wrongly it can convince you something bad really is true and right. Then how do we know what is really true and right and what isn't? Our conscious, being inspired by God, ultimately will lead us straight. It's our choice whether or not we to follow.

Why do we do something that we know is wrong? Why do we do things that have obvious, negative consequences? Probably because it feels good. What we commonly forget about these "Feel Goods" is that they are temporary and short lived, like dust in the wind. It'll be great in it's moment, but then you find yourself longing for more. Sometimes to a point of such desperation you'll do anything to get it and that is when it gets truly pitiful.

There is only one thing I've found to be lasting in this world, and that's Christianity (faith in Jesus Christ). Some people say that Christianity is no fun. Will going to jail, addicted to some drug(insert name here), having multiple STDs, or becoming an alcoholic be fun. Will it be fun to be rejected by your family and friends because of one of these.

I'm not trying to condone anyone, trust me I'm definitely not perfect. I'm just trying to make you question. I just want you think about why you do whatever it is you do. Why do you drink every weekend? Why do you get high? Why do you sleep around?

For the Alcoholics: Did you know if you drink to much beer (or any alcohol for that matter) to fast you could get liver poisoning and die. You wouldn't even know it until it was to late, it's instantaneous. (it almost happened to one of my dear friends)

For Anyone thinking about starting Drugs: There are drugs out there that will have you hooked the first time you try, that is if it doesn't kill you first. You will lose your future and possibly friends.

For the Sluts: I have to ask a question for this one. Is it really worth risking getting pregnant, getting an STD, and respect of those around you? To just give yourself away is a sign of low self respect. Statistics show that majority of teen dating couples who have premarital sex will break up in a matter of time. I've found this to be true. I've only seen one couple to stay together after having premarital sex, but they made a vow to stop having sex. I believe that's what has kept them together. Statistics also show that people (both men and women) who sleep around won't be able to maintain a stable marriage in the future. Why risk all this for a short, fleeting pleasure?

I realize I might be a little harsh. I also realize the issues in this article were fairly basic. I didn't want to go to far in the issue, that would take entirely to long and would get very repetitive.

Like I mentioned earlier I believe we are ultimately inspired by God to do right. I believe the only way to avoid or stop these things is to follow the path He lays out for us. Once we have done, we must just trust Him to work things out(Jeremiah 29:11). I believe He is a light of hope in a darkening world. Christianity is the only thing in this world that lasts.
