Or maybe it extends to something as serious as cutting or suicidal tendencies.  How do you know when to say something?

It's important to plan ahead for these situations so you're prepared for how to handle them when they arise. It's much harder to come up with the right decision in the heat of the moment, so tune in to hear Bethany Jett's advice on Teen Talk! ...read more With five years of "youth sponsor interning" under her belt by the age of 21, Bethany Jett knew God’s purpose involved working with young adults.
