How can we ensure that teens are successful? A recent study, Teen Voices 2010: Relationships That Matter to America's Teens, confirmed something that we already know here at Generation Hope - positive adult-teen relationships play a huge role in teens doing well academically, psychologically, behaviorally, and emotionally.
The study was conducted by the Ready by 21 National Partnership and was sponsored by Best Buy.
"As caring adults, we must all do a better job to give teens the support they need to thrive," said Brian Dunn, CEO of Best Buy, Inc.
Teen parents are among the most vulnerable in terms of lacking positive adult relationships and feeling as if their voices are not heard. Our investment in their futures through programs like Generation Hope, will have a great impact on their lives and the lives of their children.
