In recent years, violence in schools(Taylorsville in particular) hasn't been very bad---the average fight here and there. I am a sophomore and never have been in a fight in school my entire school career. Some say I am a "chicken", etc. But, I just try to let God handle my daily battles as much as I can. I am saying what I am saying because now in schools, the violence is HORRIBLE. This year alone in area schools, they have seen their highest violence rate in school history. Most kids don't attend church regularly, parents getting divorced/separated, and many, many other things to cause problems. They don't think what effects it will have on their child.
Not going into details, but, my parents got a divorce in 2005 and I didn't let it change me for the worse. I let it make a better person out of me---as a matter of fact, it made my relationship with God 100% stronger. Two and a half years later, I realize I didn't let Satan take over my emotions and get in control of my life like some other kids have (or it seems like it). You may say "Wow, this kid thinks he knows it all". Well, I don't. I have been there and done that, as you may say. If we let Satan take control of our emotions and actions just like at school, work, ball games, or ANYWHERE, he has succeeded and we can make other lives miserable when our life is just as miserable.
If we trust in God all day and every day, we won't have anything to worry about it.
And that's the truth!
