Why are Junior Youth important?

We all know that youth today will be the leaders of tomorrow. So it's very important to educate them before they become youth (say age 15 and above). Junior Youth are between the ages 12-15. They're no longer kids but still not Youth. In this critical age they have spacial needs because they go through a lot of changes physically, mentally and psychologically, so they need special attention. Also in this age they have a lot of questions such as:  Who am I? What am I doing in this world? and if they don't get the answers they're looking for or the needed attention; they will be dragged by the society, and all that energy they possess will be wasted in all the wrong things such as: drugs, smoking and bad behavior. You can't isolate your children from the society, so what can you do? The junior youth program has been learning a lot about developing juniot youth's abilities and talents. Also, it explore with them the concept of service, and help the junior youth use all the energy they have in something useful. In this particular age the Junior Youth get affected easily by the things surrounding them, so they become perfect targets for media because nobody pays attention to them. Therefore, trying to guide them before becoming youth is very important. When that age is over it's very hard to change them if they choose a path that doesn't benefit them or society. In this age they are always looking for an older figure to look up to, and the animator, who is a youth a bit older than them, can be that role model. So all that energy and unbelievable talent that not many care or know about will be acknowledged.
