Do you like working with youth age ranging from 13 to 17 ?

Question

Our youth are heading to the wrong path and destruction,they don't have no parent guidance,they carrying big burden on their shoulders and have low self esteem, because everything is moving to fast. I believe each and everyone has a god given talent, whether it's, gardening, baby sitting, sewing, wood working, etc........,and their our some of us who are a professional in your own talent. their are some of us who has retired,are college student,etc...., and if we all can volunteer 1 to 2 hours per week to teach one of our youth what we know, I know and truly believe in my heart ,that many things can change for our youth today. This is one way we can keep our children off of welfare, gangs, become high school graduates,and be great leaders. NOW, how much time can you afford or will to give to our teens?What we SOW is what we'll REAP. So lets sow some good seeds. Join me on this journey, can you?

Answer 1

No can do.

Due to the child molesting witch hunts, any mature male who shows even the slightest interest in pubescent teens, is viewed with suspicion.

Answer 2

Firstly I would just like to say teens aren't 'seeds'. We're people, and everyone else seems content on judging us teens by a group of dumb people who have happened to make it on the news because of a huge party, or violence. Secondly 99% of the people in my school don't do drugs or, would you believe it, join gangs. Surprising eh? Oh, and a large majority of us do some sort of community service. So sorry but i don't believe 'were heading on the path to destruction' please pardon my optimism. I'm 14 by the way, and I plan on going to college as are many, no, ALL of my friends do as well. I appreciate your kind offer but you should no that being a teen is about finding yourself and to do that you have to make some mistakes. And teens would not bode well with some stranger telling them how to live their life. Thank you anyway

Answer 3

I worked as a camp counselor for kids 13-17.  .
