The Christian Parent's Guide To Raising Teens -
10-21-2008, 06:12 PM
As the leader of a youth group, I've had to listen to so many questions asked by despairing parents wanting to know how they can stay involved in their kids' lives once they are teenagers.
Too many young people become lost in the whirlwind of satan's traps, such as gothism, rock and roll, piercings and tattoos, liberalism, homosexuality, drugs, premarital sex, the M-word, questioning the Bible and disliking school.
I'm here today to tell you all the good news! These things don't have to happen to your kids! There are ways to prevent all of these tragic outcomes! In this guide I will explain from years of experience in dealing with upstanding youngsters and hellbound garbage how you can help your child navigate the perilous minefield of puberty!
PART ONE
UNDERSTANDING YOUR TEEN
What happens at puberty? Why does it happen? How come my kid keeps locking his door?
These are all questions I've heard numerous times. I think it's important to get a basic understanding of what and who we're dealing with here.
The LORD in His infinite wisdom created our bodies with switches inside them. These switches are turned on at puberty, and they trigger many changes and new feelings.
Satan knows that during this time your child will become extremely vulnerable to new ideas and temptations, so you can expect that old serpent to do everything he can to lure your precious child straight down to the bowels of hell!
At puberty, a kid will begin to think differently, talk differently, and act differently. He may desire privacy in unusual quantities. He may start paying more attention to his friends than he does you. He may even start neglecting church and Bible study!
These things are signs that your teen is walking on dangerous ground! It’s time to act before it is too late!
While they may not make it evident, all teens secretly desire boundaries and discipline. It is your job, as well as the job of your church, to create guidelines and rules to keep your offspring safe and happy.
This may involve establishing a fair curfew no later than 9:00, searching your kids’ bedrooms, or even just listening through a glass at the bathroom door for sounds of self-abuse.
Any violation of the rules you've set up must be met with stern rebuke.
Foolishness is bound in the heart of a child; but the rod of correction shall drive it far from him. -Proverbs 22:15
Teenagers are like plants: They need lots of nurturing, pruning, and occasional binding with twine in order to flourish. Otherwise they will sprawl out and grow in whatever direction they happen to choose!
Because they are easily influenced and often weak, teens seek role models whom they can emulate. Of course the first role model they should have is the LORD JESUS.
In the end, your goal is to see your child blossom into an upstanding citizen and True Christian, who will go on to spawn more True Christians and keep the truth safe from the creeping poison of compromise and liberalism.
Only take heed to thyself, and keep thy soul diligently, lest thou forget the things which thine eyes have seen, and lest they depart from thy heart all the days of thy life: but teach them thy sons, and thy sons' sons. -Deuteronomy 4:9
PART TWO
COMMUNICATING WITH YOUR TEEN
Whether it's for letting them know why they're being punished, or for imparting the meaning of scripture to them, it is utterly important that you know how to communicate with your teen!
Teenagers often adopt strange ways of speaking that involve words that you've never heard before, or that don't mean what you think they mean.
I suggest you make it very clear in simple terms that they ought to spend more time studying the beautiful language of the King James Bible instead of whatever silly lingo and slang their friends have convinced them is 'cool.'
For your own information, the following is a list of words and their definitions that are considered 'hip' by the young people:
Aight: This is a mutilated version of the word 'alright.' It was almost certainly concocted by the negroes. If your teen uses this word, it may be a sign that he or she is embracing the negro lifestyle!
As if: It may sound like an unfinished sentence, but it's actually a way kids have of being sarcastic. If your teen utters this to you, a slap across the mouth is in order!
Bodacious: An immoral term for an attractive female figure. Listen carefully to your son's speech for this derogatory filth, particularly if he's on the phone!
Bogus: Used to describe something unfavorable or false. If used in reference to the Bible or CHRIST, discipline immediately!
Bomb, the: This term is often used in opposite of 'Bogus' to praise something. It is possible that this word originates from anti-American terrorists or anarchists, and your child may be in a gang!
Bounce: Apparently, this means to depart. Also has roots in the negro culture. If you hear your kids wanting to 'bounce' from church, it's time for more Bible study.
Chill: To relax. If your teen complains that all he wants is to 'chill' in his room instead of passing out literature, he may be doing drugs or engaging in sexual conduct that is making him tired!
Crib: Most certainly of negro origin, this term does not refer to the soft bed of an innocent baby, but to one's actual home. Any teen who uses this term is obviously immature, and may be picking up bad habits from colored friends.
Crunk: An insult meaning 'crazy skunk.' Harmless.
Def: Slang for 'defecate.' It is related to scat fetishes, so if your kid says something is 'def' or 'most def,' he or she is a pervert engaging in lewd sex acts involving bodily waste!
Dickweed: Slang for the marijuana. Any child heard using this term should be tested for drugs and kept indoors away from other people for at least two months to purge their system!
Fergalicious: A recipe popular among kids involving black-eyed peas.
Jizz: Apparently, a popular drink favored by girls and some homosexual boys. Could be some kind of dangerous weight loss product or energy drink.
Pearl Necklace: An expensive piece of neckwear that, for some reason, is of great interest to adolescent males.
Shocker, the: A lewd dance move.
Tubular: Of or pertaining to the tallywacker. Filthy!
Now that you’re familiar with some of their lingo, let’s talk about what communication should be like between you and your kids.
Ideally, they never speak unless spoken to and always end their sentences with “sir” or “ma’am.”
Conversation should always be about wholesome and family-friendly topics that inspire your teenagers to be upright and respectful of their elders. Talk about what you want to talk about first, and then ask them about something relevant to them. Teenagers love to answer questions from their parents, especially about school and friends.
Dinner time is an excellent time for conversation. It’s a time when all the members of the family can share the events of their day with each other and praise the LORD who watches over your home and provides them lots of good food to eat and a good wife and loving daughters to prepare it.
An excellent way to prepare your kids for a career as a minister while simultaneously scrutinizing their relationship with GOD is to ask one of them to say the blessing over the meal.
A good giving of thanks for the evening meal lasts between three to four minutes and does not just focus on the food but on everything the LORD does for us throughout the day and year. If your kids tend to rush through saying grace to get to the actual meal, they are likely gluttons who are well-fed on the outside, but are spiritually malnourished. For these types, I suggest a stern scolding about having some respect for the LORD and enrollment at Bible camp for a summer to lose weight and teach them patience.
Teenagers should not disagree with their parents. If they do, it could be a sign of rebellion, and calls for immediate whipping and assertion of your dominance over them. After all, if they do not learn how to agree with everything you say, how will they become servants of the LORD?
PART THREE
TEMPTATIONS OF THE FLESH
But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not be once named among you, as becometh saint… -Ephesians 5:3
As they become adolescents, you can expect kids to start thinking about sex and even asking questions about it. This kind of curiosity is not a positive thing to see pop up in your kids, and it may be a sign they have been thinking dirty thoughts.
Sometimes you can just tell when a kid is thinking about sex. Look for signs of distraction, sullenness, anger and confusion. If your teenager is acting like this, a direct approach is in order. Confront him or her and scream, “YOU’RE THINKING ABOUT SEX AGAIN AREN’T YOU, YOU LITTLE PERVERT! DEMONS OF LUST COME OUT!”
This is especially effective in public and in front of your kids’ friends. Shout it from the window just as they’re approaching the school bus in the morning, or when you pick them up from football practice. It will make a lasting impression on your kids and boost their respect for your concern over their wellbeing. Do not be afraid to let your children know you are aware of their depravity. They will thank you for it later!
The only thing your teenagers really need to know about sex is that it is dirty and is designed for a husband and a wife, and NOBODY ELSE!
I once had the uncomfortable experience of having one of my pimply youth group boys asking me how sex works. After my initial shock, I rebuked him for being a lustful deviant and explained that the LORD will reveal everything he needs to know on his wedding night.
Personally, I did not come to know my wife in the Biblical sense until about three weeks after the honeymoon, simply because we both agreed it would be depraved to rush right into the act. Of course I did not share these intimate details with the inquisitive pervert staring at me through immorally long bangs, but I think it’s important that parents teach their own kids that there is no shame in waiting a respectable amount of time even after marriage to engage in physical relations.
For this is the will of God, even your sanctification, that ye should abstain from fornication: That every one of you should know how to possess his vessel in sanctification and honour; Not in the lust of concupiscence, even as the Gentiles which know not God: -1 Thessalonians 4:3-5
In this modern age of liberalism and depravity, Christian youngsters now have the added confusion of dealing with peer pressure to use birth control. In his craftiness, the devil has introduced means for people to do that without bringing fourth precious life. It is also a way for homosexuals and unwed fornicators to avoid GOD’s equally clever infectious punishments for this immoral behavior.
There is NEVER an excuse for Christians to use birth control. EVER.
A rubber baggy is no place for millions of microscopic unborn Christians! But don’t take my word for it, take HIS:
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein. – Genesis 9:7
And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. – Genesis 38:9-10
Thou shalt not kill. –Exodus 20:13
If you’re a True Christian parent, it’s a given that you root through your children’s rooms at least twice a month to look for signs of immorality. As a True Christian parent, you are also probably unfamiliar with what certain forms of immorality may look like. I have provided the following Q&A as a handy reference for your next inspection:
Q: I found a long rubber or plastic cylindrical device in my daughter’s room that looks suspiciously like the male unmentionable! What is it?
A: You may have found a so-called ‘dildo’ (please forgive my language.) It is an infernal device that your daughter inserts into her privates to give herself sinful pleasure. If you don’t believe me, carefully take a whiff of it to confirm her debauchery! Then, take it out and burn it!
Q: I found a long rubber or plastic cylindrical device in my son’s room that looks suspiciously like the male unmentionable! What is it?
A: Just burn it, and throw your son out of the house immediately!
Q: A found a box of rubbery balloon-like thingies in my child’s room that look like zucchini coverings. What are they?
A: What you have found is an arsenal of weapons used to slay millions of unborn Christian babies. Burn the entire box and confront your child immediately!
Q: I found a strange white stain on my son’s bed sheet/underwear/rolled up sock that was under the bed. Help!
A: As a True Christian parent, you’ve probably never seen this before. You have unfortunately stumbled across a mass grave in your very own home! This is what the Bible calls ‘seed,’ and it should’ve gone into the woman that GOD has picked out for your son to be his wife, but instead it has been carelessly discarded! Confront your son immediately, rub his face in the stain like a dog, and then burn whatever has been contaminated!
Q: I found a magazine that has pictures of naked people and dirty stories in my child’s room! What should I do?
A: Please send the perverted reading material to one of our pastors immediately! He will evaluate it and give you further instructions.
Q: I found a baggy full of grassy stuff/white powder in my child’s room. What is it and what do I do?
A: If it’s grass, it’s probably the marijuana! If it’s powder your guess is as good as mine. It could be a drug, or it might be makeup. Either way, burn it and strike the offending offspring with an oversized KJV1611!
PART FOUR
WILL YOUR CHILD BE IN HEAVEN?
JESUS told us that nobody gets into Heaven but by HIM. Each and every one of us must become CHRIST-like if we expect to share eternity in paradise with people who are refreshingly all the same.
But what would it be like if you go to Heaven and your sluttish daughter or rebellious son is sizzling in Hell?
Of course you won’t miss them because it’s Heaven and nobody is unhappy in Heaven, but you will still miss them. We may not understand how you could miss somebody at the same time that you don’t miss them, but there are many things about GOD and Heaven we will not comprehend until we meet HIM face to face.
The best you can do is to beat your children often, take them to church every week, and make sure they’re reading the Bible.
Life is a complicated game, and it’s easy to get lost without the directions!
I certainly hope that this guide has been instructive and will be beneficial to those of you who have older children.
I have always had a soft, warm place in my heart for young people, and I would truly hate to seem
them spit in the precious face of our savior and end up in Hell.
Yours in CHRIST,
Bob Fore.

That is a very comprehensive guide, Brother Bob. Are you going to be offering that in a two page laminated version suitable for hanging on refrigerator or the bathroom door?
May you be a blessing to every life you touch.

As a professional educator, I can only say you have done a great service to the planet.
Matthew:
5:17 Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.
5:18 For verily I say unto you, Till heaven and earth pass, one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the law, till all be fulfilled
10:21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, and the father the child: and the children shall rise up against their parents, and cause them to be put to death.
10:34 Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.

Thank you, Brother Bob. Truly, the Holy Spirit has moved within you this day. As a teenager (18), I know just how easy it is to be lured into the misguidance, self-abuse, drug use, and Satanism of the "teen" sub-culture. Praise Jesus, I was delivered from all of that by the careful guidance of the Pastors of Landover Baptist Church. I hate to think of where I'd be without them.

I'm sure we can all say the same thing. I personally know that Pastor Zeke has spent many long, hard nights pounding away at hellbound young men such as yourself, ministering sweetly to them until they break down and finally receive the LORD JESUS into their hearts. Glory!

A wonderful guide; I would also suggest removing the door from a teenage boys bedroom, lest he think he can masburbate without getting caught. If you do catch your son masturbating, call the police right away; what he's doing is illegal anyway-or should be.
Also, teenage girls should never be encouraged to grow up & become registered voters, unless they ask their husband who it's o.k. to vote for, thereby reducing the number of elected Democrats. I suggest they be kept indoors during their unclean periods, as well.
Just some more advice on raising godly teenagers.

So many of your definitions of terms are incorrect. The shocker has nothing to do with dancing. Try searching it on Google. Your hilarious! It means two in the Pink, one in the Stink if you catch my drift!

Perhaps you should learn to spell before you accuse me of not knowing what I'm talking about. I'm a Christian and I read the Bible daily. Where'd YOUR education come? Public school probably!
Please, accept CHRIST!

My husband and I just finished reading through this. It's a great help for making sure rebellious teenagers stay in line. We've printed it out and hung a copy in each of our teenager's bedrooms, as well as the fridge.

This, Mr. Fore, is literally one of the dumbest things I have ever read. Seriously, where did you learn to give teen advice. Every single little piece of advice given in this paper will only make the victim of your degrading strategies twice as angry at the parent, and fill him/her with more hate. First of all, this little essay of yours is unbelievably derogatory, I am shocked. As a christian you should be spreading the love that you attempt to portray and worship, rather than completely have your own hatred for anyone who disagrees with your beliefs. A teenager will not succumb to harsh punishing. It has been proven again and again. Are you absolutely nuts? Rub a teens face in his own sperm? That's the most disgusting form of horrid punishment. I mean, even when one does have sex to have kids, millions of sperm die, so you've probably planted the same mass grave of all the little christians dying, into your wife. Also, the previous commenter was right, so many of your definitions aren't correct. I'm sorry to break it to you, but 'jizz' means sperm, 'dickweed' is an insult, 'crunk' means you're high and drunk at the same time, and ‘def’ just means ‘definitely’.
Also, if you happened to find that your son or daughter being homosexual is a terrible thing, how in the world do you see throwing him/her out of the house as an ok thing to do? Honestly if you hate it that much, wouldn't you want to at least try to convince them of otherwise instead of letting him off, full of hatred towards his family, and still leading the same lifestyle of his choice.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't say anywhere in the bible, that one has to be racist. My outmost religious, christian friend, is black (Not to mention a great guy). Why is it bad that your son/or daughter has friends with a different color skin than your own. That's just plain stupid. It's childish. You obviously need some advice to raise yourself.
Please, everybody reading this, including Mr. Fore, take a moment to think about other peoples mind, assuming that they don't have the same beliefs as you do. If you want them to follow your beliefs that badly, it is no use assuming they can be scared of your threats. I say this because it is obvious that the teens we are talking about don't have exactly the same beliefs as you, if they're rebelling like that. And honestly, I respect them so much for doing so, if this is how they're treated.
I am ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE, that if Christ ever came back to check things out, he would be disgusted by what some of you have become. The bible isn't a punishment, its an guideline to make the world a good place where people coincide happily by the same laws. God wouldn't make a place where people would have to be miserable in order to obey him. I think he's a little smarter than that.
Reasoning, in whichever way works best for your kid, which you know best, is in most cases the number one way to get to a kids mind. Violence is the absolute dumbest way to make someone obey. Violence ignites fuses in people that aren't forgotten. What use is it to miss your kid while he is in hell, if you're probably the reason he's there. Please people, do not listen to this man.

You sound surprised to see a message of hope. Perhaps you have been denied the Good News, but God blessed us with the understanding of his Word (John 14:26). If you are upset, it is not with Bob4God, but with the LORD: What He says, and what He desires. But you look on as a child who is denied something that is not in his best interest, or a child who is being lovingly reprimanded. God is displeased with people like you. The prophet reveals, “And I am very sore displeased with the heathen that are at ease: for I was but a little displeased, and they helped forward the affliction.” (Zechariah 1:15 ) Don’t you see how your continued rebellion hurts the LORD? Our Brother in Christ here is sharing with your parents the hope they can have in knowledge (John 8:32).
The people of this world have changed the truth of God into lies, and that is why you and your negro friend are so confused as to what the Bible really says. The apostle Paul wrote, "[People like you] changed the truth of God into a lie, and worshiped and served the creature more than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen." (Romans 1:22-25) The “creature” referred to here is Satan. People like you and your negro friend are easily duped by Satan’s lies because he tells you just what you want to hear, and so like greedy little toddlers you rush in and gobble up whatever you can find that satiates your immediate desires.
Please refrain from offering a rebuttal until you understand all the facts.
Hello, my name is Mary. I hope to fellowship with you! That is, unless you don't listen to church authority (Deuteronomy 17:12); are a witch (Exodus 22:17); are a homosexual (Leviticus 20:13; Romans 1:24-32); or fortuneteller (Leviticus 20:27) or a snotty kid who hits their dad (Exodus 21:15); or curses their parents (Proverbs 20:20; Leviticus 20:9); an adulterer (Leviticus 20:10); a non-Christian (Exodus 22:19; Deuteronomy 13:7-12; Deuteronomy 17:2-5;Romans 1:24-32); an atheist (2 Chronicles 15:12-13); or false prophet (Zechariah 13:3); from the town of one who worships another, false god (Deuteronomy 13:13-19); were a non-virgin bride (Deuteronomy 22:20-21); or blasphemer (Leviticus 24:10-16), as God calls for your execution and will no doubt send you to Hell, and I have no interest developing a friendship with the Spiritually Walking Dead.

tl;dr
Please make a thread of your own in the " Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.
And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.
I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.
Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:
Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

It's no wonder that people don't pay any attention to you Jonichenzion, you can't seem to organize your thoughts very well. I've take the liberty of correcting your "wall of text" into something a little more readable (not necessarily that what you have written is right though). Your teachers should be correcting you, but perhaps they are using the wrong methods. You should be attending a fine Baptist school.

First of all, this little essay of yours is unbelievably derogatory, I am shocked. As a Christian you should be spreading the love that you attempt to portray and worship, rather than completely have your own hatred for anyone who disagrees with your beliefs.
A teenager will not succumb to harsh punishing. It has been proven again and again. Are you absolutely nuts? Rub a teens face in his own sperm? That's the most disgusting form of horrid punishment. I mean, even when one does have sex to have kids, millions of sperm die, so you've probably planted the same mass grave of all the little Christians dying, into your wife.
Also, the previous commenter was right, so many of your definitions aren't correct. I'm sorry to break it to you, but 'jizz' means sperm, 'dickweed' is an insult, 'crunk' means you're high and drunk at the same time, and ‘def’ just means ‘definitely’.
Also, if you happened to find that your son or daughter being homosexual is a terrible thing, how in the world do you see throwing him/her out of the house as an ok thing to do? Honestly if you hate it that much, wouldn't you want to at least try to convince them of otherwise instead of letting him off, full of hatred towards his family, and still leading the same lifestyle of his choice.
I'm pretty sure it doesn't say anywhere in the bible, that one has to be racist. My outmost religious, Christian friend, is black (not to mention a great guy). Why is it bad that your son/or daughter has friends with a different color skin than your own. That's just plain stupid. It's childish. You obviously need some advice to raise yourself.
Please, everybody reading this, including Mr. Fore, take a moment to think about other peoples mind, assuming that they don't have the same beliefs as you do. If you want them to follow your beliefs that badly, it is no use assuming they can be scared of your threats. I say this because it is obvious that the teens we are talking about don't have exactly the same beliefs as you, if they're rebelling like that. And honestly, I respect them so much for doing so, if this is how they're treated.
I am ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE, that if Christ ever came back to check things out, he would be disgusted by what some of you have become. The bible isn't a punishment, it's an guideline to make the world a good place where people coincide happily by the same laws. God wouldn't make a place where people would have to be miserable in order to obey him. I think he's a little smarter than that.
Reasoning, in whichever way works best for your kid, which you know best, is in most cases the number one way to get to a kids mind. Violence is the absolute dumbest way to make someone obey. Violence ignites fuses in people that aren't forgotten. What use is it to miss your kid while he is in hell, if you're probably the reason he's there.
Please people, do not listen to this man.

Thankyou Jonichenzion for reviving this thread
My children are just entering puberty, and this thread gives the information I have been searching for. The Lord must have inspired you to bring it to my attention.
Very well thought out Bob4God. I shall be following this, word for word.

What a great guide. My oldest is a teen now and is starting to enter puberty i think. This guide will be very useful.
1 Timothy 5:8 But if any provide not for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the faith, and is worse than an infidel.

It almost sounds as if you think children hating their parents is a bad thing.
Clearly Jesus disagrees with you:
Luke 14:26
King James Version (KJV)
26 If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
Freedom means voting for Donald Trump!
To most "Christians" The Bible is like a license agreement. They just scroll to the bottom and click "I agree". All those "Christians" will burn in Hell!
James 2:10 "For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all."

What is important is to obey them.
Colossians 3:20 Children, obey your parents in all things: for this is well pleasing unto the Lord.
Have you even read the Bible?
YIC
1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.
Revelation 22:15 For without are dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and whosoever loveth and maketh a lie.
Leviticus 20:13 If a man also lie with mankind, as he lieth with a woman, both of them have committed an abomination: they shall surely be put to death; their blood shall be upon them.
