ok, so Im an 18 yearold girl and Im starting a young girls group at my church, there are 4 girls, they are all freshmen in Highschool. The group is going to be about relationships, growing up, coping with lifes issues, peer pressure, you know, those kinds of things, with somewhat of a christian basis. I dont want it to be all bible lessons but the material should tie in to God somehow. anyway, I would love it if any of you know any good websites to get information and material to help me out with that, or even if you have some good ideas yourself, I want the group to be fun and different and I want them to learn from it at the same time, Im usually good at these things but I want my first lesson to be good so they'll be as excited about the group as I am. :] thank you very much!

1)play a Christian rock song at the beginning or ending of each meeting( try Switchfoot, Newsboys, Audio Adrenaline)
2)don't dismiss the Bible as a valid teaching source. It's not that people are against hearing from the Bible, it is just that they are unfamiliar.
have a lesson about sex-see the book of Romans-read about sins of the flesh, have a lesson about political issues-see the book of proverbs, have a lesson about money-see the book of Ecclesiastes, have a lesson about temptation, see the book of Matthew
3) find relevant biblical quotes to support your argument about different things. Don't have premarital sex! Well why? Find Bible verses to back up your claims on what is good.
4)discussions on different issues are good because teen girls like to talk.
5) be an adult that is there for them, an authority figure but someone they can confide in and trust in.
6) Write down what you plan to accomplish in each session and stick to your bullets. Don't let the girls get you off track.
7) Have fun. God's Word is awesome!

From my experience teaching high school girls at a bible camp, they THRIVE on hearing about other people's experience. One of my fellow counselor's testimony included her run-in with bulimia. We had a day on "body image" when none of the girls were allowed to wear makeup and at fireside she shared her story and the other girls were invited to share their's. I know from emails I still get that these lessons had an extraordinary effect on these girls!

I tell my young nieces a story to help them in their decisions with dating. I compare dating and choosing a mate to the animal kingdom. Lionesses choose a mate from the strongest male, who fights for the right to be with them. The lioness doesn't offer herself to the lion who is beaten and bleeding out in the grass of the jungle, she gives herself to the victor, to insure strong offspring and a future of protection and security. The doe, has to fight her way through a circle of males to find the strongest of them in the center, which she chooses for bearing his offspring. While trying to get to the center of that circle, she has to veer away from the weaker males in order to keep her eyes on the prize. We as human beings and women should be smarter than animals in the jungle. I use those analogies to tell my young nieces that they should choose well when considering a partner. In the mean time, in order to be ready, the female must do everything in her power to be deserving, and ready for that one male who is in her future. It's important that they realize that time is what it takes for those things to be true. How's that for a lesson? It's not biblical, but it's part of god's work.
