Teenagers too often have to deal with loss and death. You had to cope with the untimely death of your brother; how can young people deal with such tragedies?

We started a movement... to build character, citizenship and confidence in young people.

It's easy to say young people should believe in themselves, but the number one thing is recognizing that it's a journey, that you have to build confidence in yourself.

Young people are so often dissed by the media.

When we're young we have a very clear vision of how life is supposed to be, and it all seems very neatly packaged.

While all old people have been young, no young people have been old, and this troubling fact engenders the frustration of all parents and elders, which is that while you can describe your experience, you cannot confer it.
