Its not just Christian teenagers either, believe me. Jesus said that "All men will hate you because of me" (Matthew 10:22). If all you, or some of them are getting is dirty looks, be happy. I've had worse things happen to me while doing some open air preaching, and well, just look at what happened to the apostles back in the day.

Hon, it has been a long time since I was a teenager, or a Christian. but I hope you don't mind my answering you. I think it is wonderful that you have found a purpose in life and I applaude you for that. You are no different from anyone else and the only thing I could see that would cause anyone to treat you badly is if you are preaching to people. I hate to tell you this but there is no quicker way to turn someone against you is to start trying to convert people. If you are just being yourself and not pushing what you believe on others there should never be a problem. Just remember that all people are not meant to be Christians and if you expect them to respect you, you must respect them.

What's Christian gear? I have teenagers and I think some people just don't like any teenagers and give them all dirty looks.
From your post I'm assuming you are a Christian, you tell me what makes you different from everybody else?

Well, I'm a Christian teen at 19, and I think America is against teens being Christians because-frankly-they don't like people, especially young people, to be 'different'.

Because people don't like to accept us and they think that they are better than us.....well really I don't know.
I am a Christian teenager and I haven't seen anyone discriminate against me, but maybe I just had my head in the clouds when they were doing it.

Oh,don't forget the skirts. Long,full skirts = religious freak in the eyes of the public...I just wear them because I think that they are pretty. But if I did wear them for religious reasons,what would be wrong with it?
Eh,who knows why people don't like it.

I think the only reason it happens is because usually people do not like to hear of cults and such. They are probably angry that the kids have already been brainwashed so early in life. It is enough even to make me angry! How about you?

I doubt too many people know what "Christian gear" is. They are maybe getting those looks for some other reason.

its not against a teenager being a christian its against christians in general. christians arent supposed to blend in or conform to the image of the world. the fact that we have God sets us apart some people dont like us for that.

Being a teen and a Christian by choice is confusing to many people... they don't understand why anyone, especially teens, would follow Jesus.... you are a rare breed of kids whom others will notice and not know how to react to. Stand strong in your faith... it isnt about what people think.. it is about you and Jesus and your relationship with Him
