* What do you think is the biggest problem facing youth today? "One problem that I feel is strongly hindering the youth of today is the increasing impact that technology has over our lives. It is becoming apparent that with each new technological advance, teens are becoming more dependent on their technology. Now more than ever, teens are admitting that they could not live without their cellphones or computers. Facebook and other social sites are now major parts of teenagers' lives. Not only is this physically harmful, because of their lack of desire to entertain themselves physically, but it is definitely socially harmful because of teens' desire to communicate through technology rather than face to face.
