When I approached the issue, the parents got angry, started a rebellion and decided to ruin my reputation claiming I was misusing the internet and "posting inappropriate things." It was saddening to me that parents can sometimes be in such denial with things as simple as their child talking in service in the front row, that they become destructive. Pride is a terrible thing.<br /><br />I pray that people somehow were able to address the serious issues that were going on in that youth group. When it comes down to it, if you don't have the respect of the parents/adults/teens you work with, they will not listen and you will inevitably be hurt. <br /><br />If I had to do it all over again, indeed I would, but I just wish that it wasn't so hard sometimes.God's Belovedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04337815761125754221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1754331207105641515.post-12221260217394349532010-07-02T07:48:23.341-07:002010-07-02T07:48:23.341-07:00As a parent, I'm thankful for youth leaders li...As a parent, I'm thankful for youth leaders like you who have the courage to bring something to my attention - even if it is unflattering to my child or potentially could cause conflict. I trust you guys to be my eyes and ears in a season of life where my kids are more influenced by what goes on outside our home. And I'm thankful that they have people like you to look up to, who care about them enough to know when to interfere.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03459366320927414352noreply@blogger.com
