L.A. Youth teen roundtable

L.A. Youth, the newspaper "by and about teens" in Los Angeles, has posted video of a recent roundtable among teenagers from diverse backgrounds. "We thought what the teens had to say was important," emails publisher Donna Myrow. "This way other teens can realize they aren't the only ones living in fear and frustration, and more adults can hear our teens' calls for more programs and help from adults." LA Youth has grown, as the website says, "from a small, upstart publication produced at a kitchen table to an established non-profit with five full-time adult staff and more than 80 teen staff members."
