Best Buy/Search Institute – Teen Research

I’m a fan of the Search Institute.  Their 40 Developmental Assets have been very important in the way we think about holistic ministry.

I was interested to see that Best Buy and the Search Institute had joined forces to conduct research summarized in this Teen Voice Report.  One of the interesting findings is that 80% of 15 year olds don’t feel like they have enough positive & meaningful relationships with adults, and just 22% feel like they can speak their minds about things that matter to them.

Sometimes it seems like kids don’t want adults around.  But they really do.  We just need to take time, and as my friend and colleague, Chap Clark, says, “Sit on the steps of their world” and show that we really care.
