Teen Survey

2008-04-14T09:19:00.002-04:00

Read this and see if you agree or disagree. Post a comment!
_____________________________________________
...a new study that was just released by OTX Research and The Intelligence Group on teens’ self image. according to the research, teens are happy!

they’re willing to spend a lot of money on their looks, however:

- 81% of teens said they were at least somewhat happy and over a third (36%) say they are very happy
- 61% of teens said they worry about their looks, and 48% said they compare the way they look with friends and peers.
- 50% of teens said looks and physical appearance were very important when it comes to ‘being respected by others’, but only 33% said it was important for ‘being liked by others’

Which leads to…
- The survey found that teens spend an average of $27 per month on health and
beauty products
- Deodorants were the most commonly used products used on a daily basis (84%)
- Whitening toothpastes (55%)
- lip balms (54%)
- perfumes (52%)
- and facial scrubs (44%)

And who is the most important influence when it comes to how teens feel about themselves? Not mom or dad, not even their friends….it’s their boyfriend or girlfriend (if they have one). Interestingly, religion comes second:
- Your girlfriend/boyfriend (84%)
- Your religion (82%)
- Your friends (79%)
- Your parents (74%)
- Your teacher(s) (72%)
- TV shows you watch (51%)
- Celebrities (e.g. actors, athletes, musicians) (49%)
- Magazines you read (38%)
- Advertising you see (on TV or elsewhere) (33%)
- Other kids in school (31%)

Some of the results from the last set of questions definitely feel like teens answered how they thought they should answer:
Would you rather…
Get a new car for your HS graduation (96%)
Get plastic surgery for your HS graduation (4%)
Exercise to lose weight (91%)
Take diet pills to lose weight (9%)
Get your College degree (90%)
Win American Idol (10%)
Have a lot of friends (76%)
Have a lot of money (24%)
Feel good (69%)
Look good (31%)
Be told you have a great personality (68%)
Be told you are hot (32%)
Be Comfortable (68%)
Be Fashionable (32%)
Be the smartest kid in school (55%)
Be the best looking kid in school (45%)
Be 10 pounds under normal weight (54%)
Be 10 pounds over normal weight (46%)
Be one of People Magazine’s 50 Most Beautiful People (53%)
Be one of Forbes Magazine’s 50 Richest People (47%)

It's a better choice to wait until you're married...

CNN reports at least 1 in 4 teen girls ages 14 to 19 in America has a sexually transmitted disease.

Who has an STD?

50% of black teen girls
20% of white teen girls
20% of Mexican-American teen girls

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducted the research. It is heartbreaking to realize that so many teen girls have made the moral mistake of sex before marriage and are suffering because of it.

According to The Barna Group and LifeWay Research, 1 in 2 teens in America attend church. But sadly some of these church-going teens are also included in the statistic of STD carriers.

Daily Challenges

2008-02-27T14:59:00.000-05:00

( | Make a commitment to your group to attend your 3d Group / Life Group every week. There’s value in meeting regularly, as we learned this morning!

( | Look around your room/house and find something that you can share with someone else, a friend, someone in your 3d Group/Life Group in need.

( | Meet a friend for prayer at school each day this week. Doesn’t have to be long, just a couple minutes @ lunch or before school starts. You don’t even have to close your eyes when you pray if you don’t want to. Pray every day this week with each and report back next week on how it went.

( | Have some friends from your Life Group / 3d Group and some others over to your house this week just for good hang time (aka. fellowship).

So...I had the privilege to spend a little time with Jake & Josh, the Emcees of the National Youth Ministry Conference as they filled some shots in our student ministry rooms for this rap video. The pool table shots & the ping-pong shots are our room. I'm the one hitting the ball back to Jake. My claim to pseudo-fame. Pretty cool!
