My friends think I'm CRAZY! "How can you have guys and girls interacting the way you do without hormones getting in the way?"
CRAZY or not, I'm resolved to help teenagers understand how to treat each other. We share life together, not because we're just out trying to find someone to marry, but because 50% of the population is of an opposite sex.
When girls come into KIVU we talk about this community. It doesn't happen when we put each other down, talk negative of one another, or point out the boys and make crude comments. We believe, with a little education on respecting one another; we can live in a place where guys respect girls and girls respect boys.
Sure, teenagers are teenagers, but wouldn't it be a great day when we could simply exist seeing the beauty of another person as God created them?
Wouldn't it be a safe place to share life if we didn't have to worry about what we looked like or how cool we had to be in front of someone else?
I'm convinced the world doesn't teach teenagers how to respect one another, and thus; we have times where they don't trust each other, they don't believe in each other, and they find fault in others in order to find value in themselves.
Here at KIVU we spend a lot of time helping the ladies understand the impact of their words, and the influence of their actions. And to what avail?
We have a community of people, not a segregated group based on gender, who truly love one another.
Another example of great things happening out here at KIVU this summer.
