Lust and Pride

While writing this blog, I was thinking that I should put up a blog about an issue that the individual sexes face. I asked one of my good guy friends what an issue was that guys face when they come to college regarding them being a Christian. He told me that pride and lust were the big things that guys face.

When guys come to college, there aren't any dress codes or rules about what to wear and where you have to sleep. This means that girls can be dressed or not dressed in whatever they want. You see girls walking around on campus in shorts, skirts, and dressed that barely cover their butt. Its hard for guys to not think about what is under there and to want to "hit that". Because of what girls wear or do not wear, guys are tempted every day when they to go class. When guys see girls dressed scandaly, thoughts just pop into their heads.

Girls, we can help this problem by covering up and by not showing so much skin. There a lot of ways to look cute and catch a guy's attention without trying to catch a guy's attention.

Now for being prideful. I know the world sees guys as being tough and able to get through anything that life throws at them. The truth is guys are as vulnerable as girls its just that they do not show it. Here is a little advice for the guys, it is ok to ask for help when you are in a situation that you do not know how to get out of or if you are struggling with something. To me, it means more that a man can admit when he is over his head than if he tries to get through it by himself and just keeps sinking. It also means a lot to girls and other people when you admit when you did something wrong. It doesn't mean that you couldn't do it, it just means that you might have made a mistake. By admiting that you made a mistake, it makes you seem more human and more honest. Also, when something amazing happens to you or when you accomplish something, give it up to God. Yes, it was some of your doing, but you would not have been able to do it without God. He was there through it all with you.
