Welcome to "Youth on the Edge"

This is a blog about youth and for youth...  youth being any age from middle school to...  It is called "Youth on the Edge" because young people are on the edge of everything in life...  

the edge of the "establishment" as they test it's rules and order... 

the edge of the accepted, as they ask "why?" or "why not?"... 

the edge of faith, as they seek to find meaning and purpose in life... the edge of adulthood, as they move towards making their own decisions about all the choices life has to offer...  

the edge of change, as they begin to find that their voices can count for something... 

the edge of death, as many young people unfortunately see suicide as the only answer to the hurts and pains of life... 

the edge of life, as they bring new life, literally and figuratively  into our world... 

Well, you get the idea.  And if you are a young person reading this post, you are living the idea. 

All people, regardless of chronological age, are invited to read and comment.  This is a place where choices and thoughts and ideas can be discussed...  and maybe minds can be opened and stretched just a little!!

I certainly hope that all who participate will be civil to each other!!  No name calling, or anything else along those lines, as you make comments either towards the author, or towards anyone else who might have left a comment.  Those comments that are rude, abusive, extremely profane or seriously off topic will be edited or deleted.

With all that in mind...  welcome to "the edge"!!
