Everyone I Want to Be

Doesn't it always seems like the person next to you is better looking, more talented, and more popular than you ever will be? Is there a way to be happy with your average looks, your normal abilities, and your less than ideal situation in life? Whether we like to admit it or not, the Junior High years can be a time of dramatic change and social anxiety. This series will aim to fight the tide of self doubt and strive to instill in students a confidence and security that is grounded in wonderful plan God has for each of our lives.

Like it or not, students are being exposed to sex more often and at earlier ages than ever before. The messages being sent through media and peers can be confusing and overwhelming for young teenagers. At Watermark, we're trying to expose students to a thorough Biblical perspective of sex and try to clear up some of the confusion and combat some of the negative ideas our society is sending their way.
