Low Self-Esteem and Crimes of Youths

............
Parenting is more than merely bringing a child to adulthood. It must bring that child to a successful adulthood so that he/she is intellectually, spiritually, and financially equipped to see himself/herself in a positive light and to be able to withstand others' attempts to define him/her. Many psychologists argue that good self-esteem is crucial to a person's well being, and many realize that low self esteem plays an important role in criminal activity, especially criminal activities of youths.

Poetry

 

INSPIRATION-
 Bread of Life

God saves and converts your spirit, which is where your heart is. Your mind, on the other hand, resists being transformed. If your mind is not transformed, the miracle “heart” that God has placed in you will never be able to manifest in your lifestyle. This is because your mind, which is comprised of your soulish emotions and intellect, want to run and rule. When the new heart is neglected, the mind assumes control through the old, carnal nature. (Juanita Bynum)6/22/09

__________________________
 

We e are often assaulted by pressures to compromise our standards and live more like the world around us. Merely wanting or preferring God’s will and way is not enough to stand against the onslaught of temptation. Like Daniel, we must resolve to obey God.

 

It is easier to resist temptation if you have thought through your convictions before the temptation arises. We will get into trouble if we have not previously decided where to draw the line. Before such situations arise, decide on your commitments and what you will do. Then when temptation comes, you will be ready to say no. (Daniel 1:8 NLT)
