Have you warned your girl about the risk of hanging out with the “wrong crowd” yet? If not, it’s coming. What is it about a group focused on breaking boundaries that puts her on the threshold of trouble? Even with the purest intentions, she doesn’t stand a chance to turn the tide in a group bent on destruction. 

The Bible speaks of this from “bad company corrupts good character” in 1 Corinthians to the same echoes in Proverbs. The Book of Judges says it the clearest: “everyone did what was right in their own eyes.”  

In her formative years, your girl needs close friends who build up her faith walk. She can set an example to others, but her inner circle should be other Godly girls.  

1 Corinthians 15:33, Proverbs 22:24-25, Proverbs 13:20
