Turning teenagers into statesmen? Are you kidding me?

Is it possible to turn our MTV/iPod/YouTube kids into Christian statesmen? Tim Echols, the founder of TeenPact thinks so...and they have been doing it for years in State Capitols across our nation! Find out about a TeenPact Leadership Training program in your state capitol by visiting www.teenpact.com!
SO WHAT DO YOU THINK? IS IT POSSIBLE TO TURN TEENAGERS INTO STATESMEN, OR IS TIM ECHOLS OF TEENPACT JUST WASTING HIS TIME?


Turn off the MTV/iPod/YouTube and Do Hard Things
I totally believe it is possible. Alex and Brett Harris, authors of "Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations" explains how teens can get involved in politics. The Harris twins were homeschooled and had completed a Judicial clerkship before they were 18!
Teenager is an invented ideal. The word did not exist 100 years ago! Now our whole culture is youth oriented. Mothers want to be like their daughters and fathers like their sons. It used to be that girls wanted to be like their mothers and sons like their fathers.
