• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I have a friend who is starting to become sexually active. I know for a fact that she is very religous, but she keeps coming up with excuses as to why the things she does with her boyfriend are not wrong. Myself and another friend are going to sit her down and try to talk to her. We don't want her to get mad but we also don't want her to make a big mistake. If she keeps going the way she is, she will eventually have sex. But she kinda goes in spells. One minute, she thinks what she does is wrong, the next, it is not wrong. So any advice as to what we should say to her would be greatly appreciated.:help:

All you can do is talk, tell her why you believe what she is doing is wrong, but don't sound judgemental. It is her choice to accept or reject your words.

My wife and I have along term relationahip with a former christian young lady. She moved in with a partner and asked us what we thougt about it. We did, and why. She disagreed, but we have continued with a wonderful relationship nevertheless. We remain the only Christian voice in her life,a nd we often discuss christian issues with her.

That's right, voice up to her about your concern in her life. Look up the scriptures to quote to her that it is absolutely wrong to make such a move. Everybody has the right to do what they want to do with their life. Before you have a talk with her, pray to ask God to give you the wisdom to talk to her.

Well in my opinon l think you should just say to her that it is a horrible sin and tell her not to do something she will regrate later. I had sex with my ex boyfriend l dated for 2 years my friends tried to talk me out of it and l wouldn't listen to them. Now l had sex feel horrible l broke a sin l can't believe l did something this l regrate it still. Don't yell at her saying your stupid don't do something like that just have a nice talk with her and tell her that don't have sex your going to regrate it later. Your not going to be with your boyfriend forever so why ruin yourself. And tell her it will hurt God you shouldn't do something like this just don't have sex with your guy. God loves you say and he wouldn't want that he wants you to wait until marriage just tell her not to do something like this. Just wait until marrage its not right to do something why do something God disapproves of just tell her not to try and stop her. And say promise me you won't do it. And if she is like ya l promise make sure she is telling the truth she might be lying and do it behind your back be careful just make sure she doesn't do anything like that try your best to talk to her about this l hope everything works out l hope l helped you PM if l helped you in any way
God Bless
