Most "youth" have to learn these things for themselves. At any age
that could be considered Youth, they will likely not have been out on
their own, experienced the world, and developed these concerns yet. I
wonder if a similar study 20 years ago would have been even a little
different (had the technology existed). I think it's doubtful.
Not that it doesn't worry me too -- I'm just mitigating a bit here :-)
