[KayLeeRoo]

Hi so I'm writing a paper for school, about childeren raised in a home with christian valuse. and i need some statistics (are they more, less, or just as likly to do jail time, do druges, have sex before marrige, having a lasting marrige, ect.) if they are raised in a home with Christian valuse. So I was woundering if any one could give me a site to check out or some thing case i can't find any thing?

Not sure about a website but I was raised in church & I have to say it kept me out of t-r-o-u-b-l-e.

I was raised with no practice of faith in the home, but my parents raised us to be good moral citizens. However, i went off the rails BIG TIME as a teen. I am raising my kids and i'm a single parent, there are lots of areas of difficulty, especially with the absent parent.

Having said that, we all became Catholic about 5 years ago and have consistantly worshipped at Mass and i do believe that exposing my children to a Christian upbringing and environment has given my children something of a moral compass and a good moral grounding. They are now 17 and 13 and so far we have had no issues with sex before marriage, underage drinking, trouble with the law etc. They are really good kids.

I was raised in a Christian home, (Catholic). Went to Mass every Sunday. Went to Catholic School 12 years. The main christian values that my parents tried to instill in me were: Treat your neighbor as you would want to be treated (I'm doing okay with that)...and don't have sex until you're married.

Well, I did have premarital sex--but it was with my husband only. We did not live together before we got married. That was something my mom was really against...and I still agree with her.

Drinking--experimented as a teen, heavy drinking in college and twenties. And then I had ENOUGH. I don't drink now.

Drugs--I tried pot a couple of times. Didn't do much for me. That was in college.

I guess I could have turned out worse.

We have two or three that have participated with gangs and relaying drugs, though most of them have not. They still have to choose Jesus for themselves. The Bible DOES tell us this, however,

"Train a child in the way he should go,
and when he is old he will not turn from it." Prov. 22:6

That is the only hope we can offer as parents.
