Lauren is a 15 year old friend of mine who loves people and likes to have a good time. She has a kazillion friends on My Space, Facebook, and in real life. I met her when she was three, and have always liked her. Here is what she has to say about Scientology:
Q: I know that you were born into a Scientolgist family- does that make you a Scientologist automatically, or was there some sort of decision involved for you?
A: Well, it was my decision to be a Scientologist. My parents wouldn't push me into it. They showed me how it helped me and started me on different courses and I REALLY liked what I learned.
Q: How has Scientology helped you personally?
A: ...Where to begin? Scientology has helped me in every aspect of life. To name a few: Scientolgy has helped me to maintain awesome relationships with everyone. I can handle any problem that comes my way. I am a truely happy person. I know how to handle confusion. I know how to communicate with people. I never fight with my parents or friends. I can learn ANYTHING I want. I understand all of the data when I study. If I have trouble with my studies and get problems wrong, I know how to go back and find out what I didn't understand. I can find where I was having trouble and clear that up so I don't have trouble again.
Q: You go to a school, which uses L. Ron Hubbard study technology. Do you have to be a Scientologist to go there?
A: No, you don't have to be a Scientologist. Anyone is welcome.
Q: I understand that NONE of the kids at your school take street drugs and NONE have ADDH. How can that be?
A: Because if anyone has trouble with their studies and can't understand the data, My school simply finds out EXACTLY what you don't understand and handles it. They have a handling for any problem that comes up- I guarantee it!!! My school and L. Ron Hubbard's study tech helped me become a faster, better student.
Q: Is there any Scientology book or course that you would recommend to a teenager that wants to be able to communicate well, not have relationship problems, and to be able to conquer the subject of study?
A: The Children's Communication Course, or the Success Through Communication Course, Learning How to Learn, How to Use A Dictionary, Study Skills for Life. Those are the good basic books that teach you the foundation for a better education.
Thankyou Lauren!
I love these testimonials of real Scientology kids. I grew up in Scientology as well and also love the fact that it's not something that's forced on you or shoved down your throat. People (parents especially) are truly concerned that it's something you want to be involved in.
