4. In groups think of one topic you want to research in detail. eg : Bullying, peer pressure, poverty, child abuse, etc. Write down reasons for the problems and the impacts this has onto the youth. Show statistics about the extent of this problem. How does the situation in New Zealand compare. to other parts of the world.
5. As your recommendations to over come this social problem, identify who are the various teams that support the youth to get through this struggle.
