Why is it important to have something for Teenagers to do?

[hensleyll]

Because if you keep them busy with fun and healthy activities it helps to keep them out of trouble

Because it will keep them out of trouble and keep them from going to jail.

It's good to have something to do for anyone of any age... not just Teenagers. But I'm sure keeping them preoccupied will keep them from doing drugs and such.. or at least try to keep them away from that scene.

Not only does it keep them out of trouble, but it encourages them to discover who they
are and how they can use their gifts.  Plus It gives them a sense of appreciation for the time
that they have on earth.  When they're young, they're capable of doing more, so it encourages
them to take advantage of their freedom and energy while they can/don't have as many responsibilities

Well its important so that theyre not off getting into trouble. Getting themselves into bad cituations. Its to help them find out good things thwey like to do instead of bad ones.
