Religious Sacrifice Among Adolescents
"Religious sacrifice, the giving up of temporary gratification in return (perhaps) for future blessings, has existed in rituals since before the dawn of history. And while the notion of human sacrifice has faded, modern sacrifices can still be incredibly profound." And they are "most visibly demonstrated among the devoutly religious - especially in youth."
