following highlights:

Junior and Senior High students; those who like and are active in school activities and those who do
not and are not; those who have cars and who do not; the different needs of boys and girls
· Identify and reach groups with special needs, including truants, teen moms, etc.
· Have both homogeneous and heterogeneous discussion groups
· Supplement discussion groups with a survey
· Use the research that has been done about what other cities are doing
· Include parents as stakeholders
· Hold the discussion groups in a neutral, safe environment and be open to hearing all of the "needs"
of teens
· Use the Internet as a way of giving teens information and getting feedback
