Mark Hart is the author of Ask the Bible Geek which is a book for teenagers to help them understand a little more about how to be a good Christian.

This information will help me become a better person this year because I will not stunt my growth being around people that will bring me down or put me in a bad situation. I will choose friends that will lift me up and help me to make the right
