Battle Cry

Dear Editor,

Recently, I was watching Acquire the Fire: a show focused on teens and their problems. 35% of adults today are Christians. At the current rate of evangelism, 4% of our generation will be Christians by the time we’re 20. More and more our generation is pulled down by what media tells us to do. The statistics are rising and we are falling. Suicide, shootings, sex, rape, abortion, drugs, alcohol; it’s all happening too much and too often. And it’s no wonder knowing what we’re shown wherever we go. I understand that everybody has temptations, but why do the media have to shove them in our faces? Violence is shown on TV shows, movies, etc. Kids are told that drugs make them feel good; alcohol takes the pain away. And a person can’t go to the store without seeing a magazine with the word SEX written in big, bold letters. We need to do something. We have to speak up and show our generation what’s happening to them, to us. We need to stand up to the media and let our voice be heard. “The future of this nation depends on capturing the hearts of this generation.”
