XD. I said that fellowship is not a valid reason, since like evolPIG said, which is true, many people go church to see chiobus. Moreover, most teenagers dont seek fellowship or discussion about christian life, difficulties in life etc.Only very good friends are 'useful.' Those normal friends or even gangs are easily forgotton once you leave the place.
If something is not happening the way it supposed to be, then something must be done to make it happen.

And let us consider how to provoke one another to love and good deeds, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching. Heb 10:24-25
For youths, as you have said, fellowship is one of the reasons. Someday, these friendship formed while young will be useful through your life journey.
Secondly, it will be good to have some adult friends as role models you can learn from. Learn from their experiences, good and bad.

In theory if we have our sins forgiven and we live a holy life, we could avoid the kingdom of death.
But how many Christian lead a holy life thus becoming holy man/woman?
Worldwide now perhaps less than 100?
Perhaps it's not holiness that we should after but righteousness in the eyes of God.
A man may be not holy but he is righteous in the eyes of God.
But being holy is part of being righteous with God. Holiness is being set apart to do God's will; living by the Spirit instead of the flesh. That said, I agree being holy is very difficult, we are commanded to do so nonetheless.

Maybe we should define what is being holy.
Living a holy life means your life is set apart for God. Your thoughts seek to please God and your actions seek to glorify Him. Anything that prevents you from having an open and healthy relationship with God and people around you should probably be labelled 'unholy'.
Yes, when we are saved, we are called to live a holy life.

If you need help in some area, it is good to ask for help. If you are a Christian, seek and pray by all means.
Having prayed about it, that does not mean that you can sit and wait for things to happen. Take time to reflect and find if there is anything that is causing this problem and take positive steps towards your need, e.g. kicking a bad habit, being more thrifty, etc.

Hypocrisy at one of the church in singapore.People who go there preach about seeking the righteousness of god before they god add things to your lifes but people who go to church, preach one thing but do another. There is one fren of mine kept telling me all this things, at this time, he is still single, his ex gf left him, tell me all kind of things of being good as singlehood. but when he recently has a girlfriend, he started to ask what time i go to church then he started to go other times other than the time when I suspose to go church to avoid me seeing his gf. Thats why I said, christians who churches , hardly are not hypocrites.
Even if he asked about the time you attend church and eventually chose to attend a service at another timeslot, that does not mean he is avoiding you, right? Perhaps he chose another timeslot because it suits both of them the best?
