"One nation under God." These are the very words that our country was built around. Yet everyday at school there are constant reminders of restraints put on God. People say that there is no law against religion among students and that kids can pray whenever they want. This isn't enough. It breaks my heart when I look at the faces of teens and I see lives full of hopelessness, rebellion, and sin. Students are searching for something, they've searched for the answer in pills, bottles, and drugs but found nothing.
