Boundaries of friendly-ness
Written by Johanna at 13 years of age.
-------------
Conversations with eye contact are okay.
If tables turn to inappropriate topics, don't be afraid to show your objections, be modest. Leave the room if necessary.
Hugging & Touching - I tend to not want to go there...
If you're attracted to the person, then I'd say not at all. Um...don't make it a habit, but trust the Holy Spirit to discern the appropriate situations.
(family members, close friends?)
Be real, don't put on a show. If you don't have anything to say, ask God for help. Don't be silly because you don't want to face a situation, you could be missing out on God's voice.
Don't be afraid to ask questions, don't feel responsible for the whole conversation, let God conduct.

Meh...seven years later, not much has changed.

We knew you then!
Or maybe that was just before we met you..
that's really cool.
seven years ago? wow. that's mature for that age. or maybe I'm just comparing it to my own lack of maturity at that age :P
I will let my 13 year old daughter read this. this is good stuff.
