The Devil, having concluded all the temptation, retired from him until another convenient time.—Luke 4:13.

Charles Taze Russell (1852–1916).
If you are an adolescent, you are at a time of life in which your “power of reason” is developing as never before. (Rom. 12:1, 2) Use this period to give serious thought to what being one of Jehovah’s Witnesses means to you personally. Such meditation will help you to build confidence in your beliefs. Then, when you are faced with peer pressure, you will be able to reply promptly and with confidence. Yes, it takes effort to remain firm for what you know is right. (Luke 13:24) And you may wonder if it is worth it. But remember this: If you appear apologetic or ashamed of your stand, others will sense that, and they may well add even more pressure. If you speak with conviction, however, you may be surprised how quickly your peers will back off. w10 11/15 2:9, 10
