I have always cautioned teens in my church to know your word, know what you've been taught, etc. because there will be all types of churches/denominations and different religions pulling you all types of ways in college. Find a church home with sound teaching, where you will grow properly and be loved in grace. Disclaimer, there is a situation in which I discuss someone's alleged suicide attempt. If that alleged event happened, I pray the young lady I'm mentioning is now living well in her relationship with Christ & in a loving church home. If you or someone you know is contemplating suicide, please call the National Suicide and Crisis Lifeline at 988. Help is available 24/7.
