my advice as a christian 9th grader to other middle schoolers (that are Christian as well too or not) is to have friends that are not world or into lustful stuff, love to be in drama, love to curse, love to stick the middle finger a lot and etc. In my opinion have friends who are in the body of christ. Also my advice to someone who is in middle school don't date because that is a taste of time, you have enough time for dating. Your young you don't need to be dating at a young middle school age. Also DONT DRINK OR SMOKE that's not good. Also if you are a female make sure you keep yourself clean when it comes to hygiene. Also don't act super getto and get into a lot of fights etc. Also a lot of them love to curse for no reason. Its unnecessary. Also its not good to listen to world music because a lot of these middle schooler girls love to listen to Sza, Travis Scott, Bryson Tiller and etc. Your ears are a gate to portals, and what you listen to can open different types of demonic portals, like world music. But overall have friends who loves Jesus Christ and etc
