Teens face many issues today such as peer pressure to drink or do drugs, have a body image that doesn't fit them, getting perfect grades, and following a faith that may resonate with them.  Teenagers may be pressured into disrespecting another teen's religion from their friends.  Everyone has a right to practice their religion; at least in the U.S. they do.

Religious diversity is important.  Who says that your religion is the best?  If it was, the world wouldn't have all the problems it has today.  This is something for you to think about before you bully someone because they practice a different faith.  Ask questions, search online, go to the library, and get the facts before you condemn someone.

Unfortunately, some teens can be cruel.  Remember, most people have a fear of the unknown.  A teen who wears a special garment that is part of their faith is susceptible to bullying by those who do not understand the religion.  No one deserves to be bullied because of their religion.  It's ignorant to pick on someone because they are different.  Instead, get to know the teen.  Who knows, you may become friends!

Every teen has the right to practice whatever faith they want.  On the flip side, teens have the right not to believe in any religion.  If you're an Atheist, embrace it.  Who's to say that you're right or wrong?  You can believe whatever you want to believe.

Teens, embrace religious diversity.  Many people, including your parents, will push their religion onto you.  When you're little you don't know any better.  However, when you get older, know that it's all right to question your family's religion.  Hopefully, you have parents that will allow you to choose your own religion.  If not, do it anyway and do not tell them!
