Why I care so much about youth?

I'm not yet a parent, but I care about youth. I care what interests youth, especially teens. I care about the pressures that they face whether by choice or circumstance. I've worked with youth, even since age 17. I know what mess I have gotten myself into that could have lead to death, pregnancy, insanity, and addictions. Pressure is a thing that never goes away. Teens feel it the most; and teenage years are a time that coping with pressures can greatly shape the rest of our life. Don't get me wrong, at any point and any person with a sound mind can decide to change even at a later age. Sorry for the cliche, but you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I'd rather water the young mind, than build with old bricks. My latest project for teens is StreetQuake.
Feel free to join the movement: donate, attend, volunteer, or add positive comments or suggestions. SEE YOU MAY 19 2007 at Waynesborough Historical Village(Park) just off the highway at 801 S.
