Why aren’t teenagers living up to their full potential?
My Mission
That’s the question that drives this whole project. I’ve been there before. I’ve been a 14, 15, 16, and 17 year old kid like the ones I see at school everyday. I was that careless kid scrolling through TikTok. That kid who low-key hated everybody and everything (expect a select few girls, of course). I’ve had my fair share of arguments with my parents. I’ve been lost, hopeless, and spinning ever downward in a depressing spiral of bad habits.
Yet here I am. 18 years old, preparing to serve a mission, and running a website where my words reach thousands across the world. What was keeping me from realizing my potential earlier? If I had learned at 16 how many people would read my words, where could I be now?
That is why I’m working to help teenagers realize how beneficial they can be to the world. I’ve crafted a survey with carefully written questions to gather data that will help me to answer my overall concern: Why aren’t teenagers living up to their full potential?

Imperfect Patience

There was nothing particularly special about them, they were just diligent men with a sound understanding of the Spirit. For over 14…
