* What do you think is the biggest problem facing youth today?
"I think one of the biggest problems facing youth today is lack of sight for the future. So many youths these days don't think about how things will affect them in the future. They only have the mind to see what the immediate effects are. Youth tend to only see the immediate satisfaction in situations instead of the long-term satisfaction, which may not be the easiest thing to do at the present moment. By the time they realize what they need to do for the future, it's already too late. Youths don't plan on being adults so soon."
