TEEN INVOLMENT IN RELIGION

I choose to doing on teen involvement in religion because I am active member of a catholic church and I was interesting knowing the current statistic on Pomona. Another reason is because our moral standards or value have decline over this generation for example more teenage girl became pregnant. A lot of adolescents become involve in gangs or drugs or just hand around with the wrong crowd and are becoming less devoted to a religion or faithfull. Having faith or a religion also tells our determination or motivation we have built.

How often do you practice your religion?12% of the people that took the survey didn’t have faith and 30% of people don’t practice their religion so 18% have faith but don’t practice their religion.

Are you force to be involve in religious activities because your parents make you?

•76% of people who took the survey are not force to practice their religion and only 24% are force which is surprising to me because I usually see people force to go to mass or any other religious celebration. •12% out of the 24% of people who said they are forced, but claim to have faith too in the beginning, could only mean they are lying or not taking the survey seriously.

Conclusion “Have the courage to obey now. Obedience today will save you a lot of sorrow and regret.” Having beliefs and standard even though you don’t have a religion is important because there is always a person trying to influence to do the bad things. You need to star being a leader of your live and not a follow of others.
