* What do you think is the biggest problem facing youth today?
"One of the biggest problems youths face today is their selfishness. They often forget that they have been provided with invaluable opportunities and, instead of using their position to gain a good education and become contributing members in their communities, many of them squander these privileges by making poor choices to satisfy their self-centered desires. I feel that if my generation truly understood how blessed they are, they would want to serve those around them and would make better decisions, which would ensure a much brighter future for our entire society.
