yeah man, i know what you mean. i think that the most important thing is to be humble. never try to rely on yourself, cuz those teen years can be dangerous man. just a word of advice to all you teens (i can do this because i'm 20 now), make good friends in the truth, make friends with your parents, and cultivate a strong relationship with God now. because it will make your life so much better, and you can avoid a potentially disatrous experience that can mess up your entire life.
Amen to that, Matt! Weird how you kids grow up so fast!
