YMCA Poll
YMCA Poll
A YMCA of the USA poll commissioned for
the White House Conference shows that, despite positive trends, parents are
anxious about the well-being of their teenagers rating drugs, alcohol, and
violence among their top concerns. By contrast, teenagers rate "not having
enough time together" with parents and education as their top issues. The poll
reveals that: many families are unable to eat meals together more than a few
times a week; many teens watch television and surf the Internet without
parental supervision; and many parents wish they had more quality time with
their teens.
