Teenagers need the power to step off the trouble train
Mark’s latest article for The Guardian was published in April and can be read online at www.guardian.co.uk. In this piece, Mark talks about the very real need for the authorities to actively engage with young people in order to help them start solving their problems, and how a small amount of money spent on intervention and support at the right time could help save millions in social costs throughout the life of a troubled teen.
In two accompanying pieces, some of the teenagers that Mark introduced to Government officials at a Downing Street meeting share their impressions of the visit and young people from Birmingham describe their own harsh life experiences.

Good, I hope in America the government will get involved more to help and support these troubled teenagers.
