I am going into a class on Monday and really need your help. I have a group of teens that have been cutting, and I have agreed to go into our school (small private) and talk on stress and dealing with teen pressures. I am wondering if you have any outlines on this topic.
Answer:Because of our conversations with students on the Hopeline we have come to understand that every situation is different so the message is tailor-made for each situation. However there are key components and truths to dealing with this struggle. A good web resource that would be very beneficial to you is at www.selfinjury.org. Under the Christian Resources you’ll find helpful articles that deal with the topics such as Scripture and Self-Injury, This is a Hard Teaching!, Atonement for Sin, What God is doing in Me, and Affirmations, I think they would be very helpful in your preparation for encouragement and help for these students.
Don't forget, if you have a question you can send it to me at asktheyouthpastor@xtrlive.com plus you can talk to us tonight at www.studenthopeline.com.
