Hey Teens!

What do you want? What do you need?

When you have what you WANT you'll probably want more. You want a new game, but it may not satisfy you, so you'll want something else.

When you have what you NEED you will be happy and content enough with your life. Everyone needs to be loved, recognized, cared for, listened to and needed by others.
