My favorite memory of junior high/high school is hands down my church youth group. We went through a lot together. Sharing stories about struggles we were facing, losing a friend to suicide when most of us were just 12 years old, family trials or losses, I'd say my youth group was close. At least, I felt that it was. And beyond that, I felt a close bond with nearly all of the youth leaders that were present in my life during those turbulent teen years.
