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

Youth is an important developmental period described in, most psychological theories of human development from Sigmund Freud's theory of psychosexual development, Carl Jung, and in particular Erik Erikson.

Asked by Just - Sat Apr 25 21:07:33 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. A Concentration in Youth and Family services would mean working with teens and preteens whose home lives are less than desirable. it is a much needed field and I commend you for looking into it. I am going into Camp Ministries as a major. this involves a focus in youth counseling. basically counseling teens and preteens.

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!!

Mountain View Youth Development Center Dandridge, TN?
Q. anyone ever had a child or friend of boyfriend etc. there? what did you think of the system?
Asked by livelaughlove1234 - Fri Mar 30 14:52:37 2007 - - 1 Answers - 1 Comments

A. I live in East TN and work in the criminal justice system so I am quite familiar with the reputation of this facility. It is basically a prison for underage kids. The main goal is protection of society. I do not believe they are as geared as they should toward actually helping the kids. If you are thinking of employment there, I have heard it is a dangerous place to work. They have a lot of turnover as well (and you have to wonder why that is). I'm sorry if I am the bearer of bad news but I figure you want an honest opinion. If I can be of any further help, feel free to email me.
