Using experiences in life as stories

Hi everyone. My first blog post here.One of the cartoons I would like to make is kind of a drama/comedy sort of story that involves a group of Christian teens how they deal with everyday life. I would like to use the experiences in my life and others lives as the stories in my cartoon.Would it be wrong of me to show some of the disapointments of being a Christian as story ideas?Sometimes I feel like as a Christian, we gotta be the best example possible of what people should be and act like. Not just for nonbelievers but other Christians too, especially if they are starting out.There are times where believers have disapointed me. Like them doing or saying things that they shouldn't like drinking liquor or looking at porn, or they disapoint me, especially when they say they will contact me, after getting my hopes up that they want to talk to or spend time with me. They can pretend they care about me one minute at church, and the rest of the day I don't exist to them. And they do other things that have affected me that looks so unchristian. Such as being brand new in a chruch and none of the youth or young adults show any interest in knowning who you are. Or they might listen to questionable music. Thats just a couple of examples.To some people those may not be a big deal. But would Jesus do any of those things?I know I am not perfect either. I've sinned before, doing things I shouldn't. Things I really regret. But later on I realize what I did wrong and I pray for forgiveness and try fixing things.So, would it be wrong of me to show that in my stories, not every christian is perfect? Especially if they are based on my experiences? They hurt others at church, sometimes without knowing. Sometimes a secret sin is discovered. Theres debates and questioning about how things are done and more. Mainly ideas to show that sometimes Christianity isn't as amazing as we make it, depending on the people you're around I suppose.Sorry for the long blog haha
