One misconception that many adults buy into concerning youth is the myth
that they don't care about their future or much of anything else for that
matter. To the contrary, teens have a great deal of concern about where
they stand in life and what opportunities are available to them. In many
cases however, they find that the choices available and the methods used
by services and organizations that are supposed to serve them fail to
address the real issues that limit their life, freedom and future economic
opportunity. This failure results in youth who resort to their own methods
in order to fill the gap.
