John Fuller:我感觉现在的青少年面临着前所未有的挑战,他们需要面对很多事情。作为父母,我们应该为他们祷告,祈求上帝的指引和保护。 Danny Huerta:青少年确实面临着许多挑战。2022年,一项调查显示59%的青少年承认沉迷于智能手机。2023年,60%的14到17岁少女表示感到持续的悲伤和绝望,约23%的人认真考虑过自杀。药物滥用现象也在增加。社交媒体也给青少年带来了巨大的压力,90%的青少年感到需要符合某种外貌标准。饮食失调症在青少年中也越来越普遍,甚至可能导致死亡。男孩子们还面临着“肌肉痴迷”的问题,他们努力让自己看起来更强壮,以获得他人的认可。此外,还有38%的高中生表示自己有性行为。因此,我们真的需要每天为我们的青少年祷告,祈求上帝的帮助和引导。
