Youth Culture Lesson
Why Some Teens Take Chances

 
   

Some adults believe kids take unwise risks because kids believe they are invulnerable and will live forever.

New studies show that many kids engage in risky behavior because they’re convinced they’re going to die young and might as well go out with a bang.

Here’s a lesson you can use to explore these issues with your kids.

  Bruno Features Youth Worker  
   

In last week’s Summer Movie Preview issue, we told you about Bruno, a new movie from Borat creator Sacha Baron Cohen.

Cohen plays Bruno, a gay, Austrian, fashion reporter who visits a youth worker to talk about homosexuality. The youth worker was surprised–but pleased–to be featured in the movie. Click here to read more.
