When I was a 13-year-old teenager in Catholic high school we were taken on a day retreat to a place called Mount Olivers. It's a convent on the outskirts of my town.

Test Your Friends And Find Out Who They Really Are
Long before I was Christian, when I was 17/18 years old, I had some friends like everyone would at such an age. I use to take great pleasure in testing them, to see what they're really made of.
