Center for Youth Studies -Concerns Survey

Concerns about My World and the Whole World

There’s a lot to worry about, and a lot of things wrong with the world. But, where to start to change it all? To begin this discussion let’s find out what are the most important issues in your opinion, from your perspective. Please number from what you consider your main or top concern (#1) to lowest or least concern (#25) from this list. Some of these are big global issues, some more personal, so this is a list of your personal concerns about both types of problems—from your present perspective. Please take this survey with care, take some time to think about your answers. Thanks for taking this time. Your opinions and those of other youth can make a difference.
