Re: Ask a Teenager!
So apparently, I completely missed the point of the thread. Please forgive my little rant.

I found it interesting. I know a good number of kids, UPC and not UPC, who are raised in incredibly controlling environments or feel as if they are overwhelmed with legalism and completely rebel.
I think that it's sad that often, churches do the opposite of what they are supposed to and alienate young believers instead of attracting them.

You should do fine in college based on your posts/answers. It sounds like you're a bright, "sold out to Christ" young lady.
