Yes, young adults have other issues too that contribute to “rebellion.” Hormones, growth spurts, testosterone, menstrual cycles……their physical bodies are bouncing off the walls how in the world can we expect them to not bounce off the walls? Somehow we have to motivate them to get off their duffs and DO something.so……Lets start out by asking them (even though some may not answer) what issues BUG them – issues in school, their city, state, country, world, environment, cafeteria food, homework, whatever, then boil it down to making an impact preferably in the life of another person. How about throwing out to them REAL ISSUES? ……child slavery, child prostitution, children dying from abuse, sickness, accidents, drowning. How about the suffering they can recall from their childhood (which IS past by the way)? Watching a parent that is too drunk or drugged to even move, being yelled at for nothing, being shoved and hit by a parent or someone they thought they could trust (MOST have experienced these to some degree so they can relate and remember THEIR pain). Ask them what could have made a difference. Would it have encouraged them to have a new handmade purse PERSONALLY DELIVERED to them?(not done with thots here)
