Youth development or adolescent development is the process through which adolescents (alternately called youth or young adults) acquire the cognitive, social, and emotional skills and abilities required to navigate life. The experience of adolescence varies for every youth: culture, gender, and socioeconomic class are important influences on development. This development occurs throughout a young person's life, including formal and informal settings such as home, church, or school; and similar relationships, such as peer friendships, work, parenting, teaching, or mentoring.

Background

By American Protestant Christian doctrine, would the development and use of youth drugs be good or bad?
Q. If medical drugs or treatments could rejuvenate you, give you more than the Bible's "three score and ten" years of life, what would Christian views on the procedures be? Would a healthy, active lifespan of up to, say 150 years, be a sin, putting off the time when you "meet Jesus"? An abomination? Would the doctors who performed any such procedure be considered to be "tampering with the works of God"? Or would it be considered just an extension of medicine, like a hernia operation or blood pressure pills? I cant believe no real answers. This stinks. I cant believe no real answers. This stinks.

A. I have asked a similar question re: organ transplants...and been met with a deafening silence from the Fundies. Which I take to mean they'd jump at it...even though it is pioneered and carried out by evil science types who believe in evolution.lol But the few believers who responded actually had the gall to say that they saw no link between medical science and the "bad scientists"...and that God had given doctors the power to save lives...I guess he's busy these days starting culture wars and needed to outsource the miracles!! roflmfao!!

A. I do agree with the number one answer.But I may tell you how to start: Take a piece of paper with a pencil in your hand& then jot down what ever word comes to your mind. It comes automatically do not worry. Then conect the words together, beautiful sentences will appear. you may start with the key words eg: youth,energy , planning ,computer,training,learni ng...too many words available Just start writing. Good luck
