Some find these issues fascinating. Occult themes may be exciting to those bored with life. Those who feel powerless may believe they can harness the power of evil or Satan. When alcohol and sex no longer shock parents, Satanism does. Involvement with secret activities forms a bond among youth.
Fantasy provides escape when reality of home, school or world is too painful.
Some feel unworthy of a loving God or blame God for not solving their problems. Shift from humor to seriousness. Obsession with occult themes, music and videos. Staying up late, afraid to sleep. Fighting, vandalism and involvement with the legal system.
