During the teen years, youngsters need to learn to adjust to many pressing changes and demands that are made on them. Making adjustments can be hard for teens, and decisions that they will make during these years are things that they will have to carry throughout the rest of their lives. As parents, we would want to make the decisions for them in order to save them from making wrong ones and from suffering consequences, but we can never do so. Aside from the fact that it’s not right to control our children’s choices, our children will also battle for autonomy. With that, the key is in guiding them and in teaching them to make the right decisions. This method starts from the home, but can also extend to Christian Youth Group Activities. These religious activities are available for teens, and can help influence the way they think about and see life. Youth ministry dramas also include plenty of activities that foster your kids imaginations, helping them release their frustrations, angers, pains and problems in a very creative manner.

This skit is reminiscent of David and Goliath, but also occurs to everyday lives of kids, as bullying is a very common problem in school or in the neighborhood.
