One must first feel his or her voice is one that is heard and is worthy of hearing. This has all to do with self-esteem.

I think the younger generation has plenty to say (see the proliferation of MySpace and other social media), but your last sentence is the most telling. They have a lot to say to each other, not so much to us. Maybe partly because they don't think we'll listen (if we're there at all). In writing this, I focused on the criticism of peers, but you're making me think about the hierarchy now. Thanks for your thoughts.

I'm not so sure the younger generation has much to say. In the home, there's no pressure to sit at the dinner table and talk about current events or personal life (ala Leave It To Beaver). All too often the TV is blaring in the background, the meal isn't on the table, and mom and dad aren't even home.
