Not all of these are necessarily myths: I'm trying to provoke everyone to think about the assumptions they hold. I noticed that you took #15 and qualified it in two important ways: to say that they are Christian friends (and following the Lord, which is to say the same thing), and that they are accountable to their parents. It that scenario, it might be good advice. But it might not, owing simply to the youth and inexperience of your friend. Even the best of intentions coupled with a genuine desire to follow the Lord can still miss the mark. That's way Proverbs says that in an abundance of counselors there is safety (11:14). For teens whose parents are Christians, this safety will be gained primarily by involving parents in every discussion, decision, or question. Sara, you bring up an important point.

Because I would say that the last one isn't really a myth...I would definitely say that my friends' advice is good (when I say friends, I mean my Christian friends, who are following the Lord and are accountable to their parents). Any thoughts? Hey Steve,
