Each one must do just as he has purposed in his heart, not grudgingly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver. 2 Corinthians 9:7

I would like to see more beauty tips.
Since this is my first visit to your site, I’m not sure what you’ve covered. But I hope you will [if you haven’t already] discuss modesty in dress. Girls can be fashionable without baring it all.

Shanna, you may enjoy browsing the articles in our modesty tag: http://piercemyheart.highpcs.com/tag/modesty/
You have how to deal with emotions for yourself (depression, stress, etc…) in the “Tough Stuff” section, but how about how to deal with others. Like, if your parents are going through a divorce… What if they are putting you in the middle of all their fights? What if your mother is confiding all her stresses to you and doesn’t know what she is going to do? How should you react to your new step parent? I didn’t see anything about divorce, and I think that is a big topic that many teenagers have to go through.

VirgiLia, that is an excellent topic suggestion, and we have an article about divorce that is scheduled to appear next month, so please check back then!
I think, that modesty and purity should be a “number one” for this magazine. Most girls think that fashion means skin-tight and revealing clothing. Fashion can mean modesty too. Thank you!
I also would like to add that a great section would be why it is important to be kind to the “new girl/boy” in school even if its not the “popular” thing to do. Many people can end up feeling unwanted in this world and if anything else piles up on top of the “unwanted feeling” it may lead to hurting oneself or even suicide. Please do not reject anyone!
I would like to see an article about being a friend to special needs people. Having a special needs son, we encounter so many people who are just inappropriate. They either totally ignore him or stare. I just wish people would realize that GOD created him JUST the way HE wanted!
I’d love an article on Christians in dance studios. A lot of Godly girls have trouble in especially hip-hop classes because of sexy or provocative choreography. We don’t want to quit, but we don’t want to compromise either. Thanks for what you do!
i haven’t been on your site long so i’m not sure if you have or haven’t already covered this but i know from personal experence how hard it is for someone that has liked or flirted with a guy at one time, but now even months after the whole matter has been given to god and you are seeking his will in the matter, what should you about a guy who persists in tring to tempt you to do the wrong thing and pressures to flirt with him like you used to do. i’m not talking about sex or any thing like that but rather purity in thought and heart
An article about ways to minister to peolpe of other religions would help me alot. One of my friends is Hindu, and I’ve been praying for her. She knows about Christ but isn’t interested at all. I have no idea how to reach her, and we aren’t as close as we were a few years ago. Please pray for her family.
I would like to see more relationship advice/tips.
I would like to see some charity events going on in the communities. As well as people sending in pics for the site of what they have done to help there community 🙂
Thanks for this great givaway! I would like to some thing on modesty.
I think that purity (both inward and outward) is an issue that needs to be addressed by today’s young girls. It’s so important for us to radiate Christ through our actions and dress as well as by how we act, speak, and think.
I’d like to see more articles of drugstore brands!
I’d love to see more beauty tips.
Thanks!
I would like to see more beauty tips.
I would love to see an interview with Beth Moore or Priscilla Sheire. I love their bible studies!
