have you noticed you put in the word 'teenagers'?? most teenagers go through pubety as well, which makes them feel useless. these kids should be proud of who they are, not so ashamed that their beliefs are 'stupid' to otheer people.. it IS known as a sin, but im pretty sure if Jesus were here at this moment, he'd be hanging out with bullied/gay/etc prople. he hung out with tax collectors and prostitutes, didnt he??
