Affecting Youth Culture

While the cause I chose is only a piece of the puzzle, it is a big piece. Teens in America are facing challenges that no other generation before them has faced. The media has set up programming that will coerce them into certain attitudes and lifestyle choices from the time they are young. For example, what they wear, moral authority, relationship choices, violence, etc. My desire is to give them an alternative to being raised by the media and bringing the hearts of the children back to the parents and visa versa. To do this I am working to establish a youth center in my community where young people can come and spend time with each other, their families, and escape the world outside that offers them so many unwholesome opportunities.
