When people see your attitude or deminer, do you reflect what you would like to reflect? (If you are not a believer, that is fine, I am just asking the Christians if they really live they way they know they should) I know I don't always do this, I am just looking for some encouragement on a frustrating day.

Unfortunately, people are hostile to Jesus, and will watch you day after day hoping they will catch you in some error so they can play "got you!" and point out how un-Christian you were. Ignore them for the most part except to pray for them.
One minor point though, do we bring Jesus to someone, or someone to Jesus? I think we get things backward sometimes. For example and command to "Go and make disciples..." Sometimes we put too much emphasis on the "Go". In the Greek it's more of a "As you go..."

Somewhat. Amongst the Christian adults, I come across as principled and mature. Amongst the teenagers in my church, some of them think I'm a little odd because I don't do the same things as they do( not all of them are saved). I don't always reflect what I would like to in my behavior, because I'm still human, but I just pray to God for help with that.

Be encourage, my friend. No one should expect every individual to be perfect if they do then they are very much deceived. Christians are constantly put under a microscope by people but God knows that we are sinful in nature yet he is still merciful to us and gives love and peace of mind when communicate to him on a daily basis. Ignore the people and continue to persevere in truth and reflect what you know is pure and moral.

The main problem with Christianity is that it's almost impossible to live up to. Those who really try are in a perpetual state of frustration. Sooner or later they just give up trying, but keep up the pretense that they are still faithful to the teachings - worse, they castigate others who have failed in the same way they have secretly failed.
So if someone has given you a bad time, remember that they are likely a lot more of a sinner than you are.

being a christian doesnt always mean being so uptight you cant do this you cant do that, it just means having the correct lifestyle, and obeying gods rules, yes sometimes i do want to say things that are ungodly, but i call on the lord for help, and there it is so i am able to say the right thing, instead of what i want to say, and to wacko, being a christian, isn't about making mistakes, sure you will make mistakes but thats not what a christians all about, I KNOW THAT, AND IM ONLY 13!

Cheer up my dear, lif is really great if you remove the Stress.
The members of THE CHURCH is the body of THE CHURCH, CHRIST people. A mystery.
We the Church is one Holy but sinful people, on a Pilgrimage seeking Truth, seeking Love, seeking The Kingdon of God, always sinning always searching. Seek a Prayer Partner, or visit a Priest near you, Prayer works.

I often fail but I try to live up to the standard. Thanks for the reminder.
Try to cheer up. Sometimes when someone makes me angry I try to see things from their point of view and realize they have their own issues to deal with. That makes me less angry and more sympathetic. Sometimes.
I never really try to "spread the word of Jesus," but I try to act as I believe He would have me do, which I think makes the world a better place.
Have a good day. God bless!

I am a believer and I have constant struggles to live my life like I am supposed to. I just keep my eye on the prize and I keep going.

Bring what? A couple handfuls of dust? Seriously though, if you know where what's left of jesus is, then let me know, because I could make a fortune selling it in little vials on eBay. I'll cut you in, even.

"bring Jesus to someone today" is not a question and you can't bring someone who does not exist. It is like saying I'm going to have dinner with John Lennon tonight.
