Real Devo: Are you shy? by Jamin Goecker

taking the leap

The Corner

by Jamin Goecker, 17, Guest RTF Writer

Zack listened to the guys chattering as the bus jolted down the road. He’d been around them since kindergarten, but he still hadn’t spoken to any of them. His tongue stuck to the roof of his mouth as he prepared to say something.

I’ll probably just sound weird when I talk. He slipped his headphones into his ears and pulled his hood over his eyes.

Are you like Zack? I was. (more…)

Real Advice: My friend is now a Christian, and I’m not

~Real Question~One of my best friend’s recently became religious. She told me that we could not be friends because I use curse words sometimes, and because of my relationship with my boyfriend. She also said that if I do not put God ahead of everything in my life and go to church I was going to go to hell and burn on judgment day.

I was raised a catholic and I believe very much in God and my faith. I may not go to church every weekend but I believe that faith is faith…it’s not the building you practice your faith in. (more…)

Real Advice: I’m from India and it’s hard to make friends

Real Dilemma:

I am a teenaged girl and I wanted to get some advice.

The problem is that I am extremely shy and I just moved to a new country (from India to US). Everything is difficult for me. The language is not, but everything else is. It has been 8 months since I came here and 5 months since I started going to school.

Believe it or not, I don’t have a single friend. The only people who talk to me are a girl and a boy. But that is just formal talk. If I have a problem with my studies or I just want to share my feelings, I have absolutely no one. (more…)

Hi Rachel, I think it’s awesome that you love God so much that you want to share it with your friends and family. Knowing him is amazing. (more…)
