As teenagers begin to navigate adolescence, relationships become more and more important to them. Our friends are a gift from God and it is in those relationships that we explore who we are and how we make meaning of our lives. The tragic thing is that during adolescence, relationships can backfire and create hurt, especially for girls. This week we take See Jane Deal with Mean Friends and ask how we, as a community of believers, deal with mean friends.

There is no question that the objectification of females in our society has become common. This has a powerful effect on the self-image of teenage girls. In this first message in our series See Jane Struggle, we look at John 8:1-11.
