Christian Teens

             Teens reflect a culture all of their own within American
             society. The language that they speak, music that they
             listen to, and many aspects of their lives differ from
             that of past generations (Linehan 3). Therefore, many

             at Columbine High School, had a loss of a sense of sin.
