Abstract
The purpose of this research paper is to address the beliefs, characteristics, values, major issues and spiritual needs of an emerging generation of young people. The information in this report was gathered from research done on the Internet, books prescribed for this course, a newspaper article and from library books. It was found that the religious belief's of teenagers is important in how they view and cope with life. Values or moral truth seem to be a thing not taken too seriously by teens. Despite the fact that Millenials are more positive suicide and depression are still a major issue in their lives. As Christians we have a responsibility to apply this knowledge to what we do whether it be in youth work or in our daily dealings with youth.
