*What do you think is the biggest problem facing youth today?
"I think that the greatest problem facing youth today is the obsession with media and how it influences us. Although technology and the media are important to our generation, we're pressured by it every day. The youths struggle to maintain an ideal image portrayed in the media, which oftentimes conflicts with personal morals and beliefs. Most youths can be so impressionable when it comes to misleading advertisements, TV shows and movies. Overall, it is a problem because we stray away from who we really are in order to become who we think we are supposed to be."
