The youth, especially in their teenage years, are in the process of discovering themselves and seeking out ways to fit in with the rest of their peers. What these kids learn in this tumultuous, critical period in their lives will have a significant impact as they mature into young adults; therefore, it is essential for them to build self-confidence, develop life skills, and forge meaningful relationships.
