The only way to figure it out is to ask the kids, and as much as it hurts, listen to them. Then the next thing is to stand for something as adults, to set examples, to add substance to our lives and give them hope for substance in theirs. And substance means using your mind, challenging assumptions, thinking instead of reacting. View the world as if you deserved a bright future. Find the passion you once had so you can look your kids in the eye and tell them that you stand for something.

I want to create my own future. Let's have a panel of young men and women convene to discuss the war in Yugoslavia. Let it be an international body. Let it be made up of the people who will fight the war, and who will have to live with its aftermath. Let's create a new process that incorporates the wisdom of young people.
