Judgement is God's job only. Not ours. You cannot judge something, or even really develop a valid opinion on anything unless you either: one, know exactly what your are talking about, or two have experience first hand.
One criticism, and judgement, I am receiving A LOT lately is the fact that I have been born and raised in public school, and know go to a stereotypical party school.
Apparently, "my mind has been corrupted."
Apparently, "my education is behind."
Apparently, "I am tempted with serious sin."
Apparently, "Public high school is all bad."
It has been kind of frustrating to say the least.
Okay, yes. There are "bad" things that happen in public schools, but every thing has something bad in it. I'm sorry my parents can't afford a private Christian school, and I am sorry my parents have careers (in the public school system) and don't have time to home school me.
And let me just say, I have never felt closer God than at JMU with my CHRISTIAN sorority sisters. And the CHRISTIAN Intervarsity dance parties. And the CHRISTIAN worship nights. And awesome CHRISTIAN fellowship.
And at least I actually exercise my faith.
I'm not a "couch potato" Christian: one that sits down and takes in and takes in, and never exercises anything off. I don't want to be a fat, unhealthy Christian. I want to be happy and fit.
I have been put in situations where I have be tested and tempted, but yet I put all of my faith in God, and he showed me just how strong he is.
So you can't tell me that public school and secular college has "ruined" me or affected my faith.
Sorry for the rant, it just has been frustrating me lately.

Public schools affect a lot of people, but a lot of people come out stronger then before. Taylor, obviously you are a strong girl...don't let those people get you down. I went to public school my first few years in elementary, but then my mom took me out because of the environment. My brother and sister went to public school..and went to Tech for high school. My sister went through a lot of things and well now, she married someone of a different belief..My brother...well he completely fell off the edge and is lost...oh so lost. That all started in high school. So, my mom pulled me out, home schooled me, sent me to private school, only for me to take my self out and be home schooled again because the environment was horrible. Now, I will not stick up for my brother and sister, because they did have a choice to not follow the cravings of this sinful world. I have seen a lot of people, including you and kelsey, come out strong. That is so awesome!! Don't let these people get you down.... These "people" talking, i dont know who they are, but they must not see who you really are. I hardly know you and I can see you have a beautiful heart for God. Keep striving!
