Dear cocoa88,
I know that patience is a hard road - particularly for young folks. But, like
perseverance, it pays off in the long run. (I also realize, being the father of a teenager, that young folks do not like to be preached to - but it is best to learn your lesson, for one day you will be as old as me and have the need for a lesson to teach
your teenager!)

Your friend in Jesus,
