Teen+Worries

Here are your instructions:

First, copy from Word and paste below your list of 6-8 issues teens worry about. At the end of each issue, put a parenthesis for X's when we vote. Put your list next to your group name. The issues you identify are not necessarily associated with your religion, your religion is simply your group name Second, after all 6 groups have posted their issues, log on again and read all the issues. Third, decide which 5 of the issues are most important to you as an individual. Fourth, put a capital X in the parenthesis at the end of the entry.

The issues with the largest number of X's will be the ones we address.
