The Mustang Youth Team, part of the Frontier Community Coalition, has launched a weekly message series aimed at helping adults better understand the challenges young people face. Each week, the group will release one short, honest message written by teens, either from within the team or from their peers. Organizers say the idea grew from conversations about what young people often wish adults understood.
The hope is that even a single message will prompt an adult to pause, reflect, and share it with someone who may need the reminder. The series begins with focusing on mental health, an area the youth say remains a silent struggle for many of their peers. This week’s message is, “Teens can go through the same things adults do. Please don’t minimize our feelings just because we’re young.” Members of the Mustang Youth Team encourage the community to share the messages, emphasizing that increased awareness and understanding can make a meaningful difference in a young person’s life.
