Teens Only? Please answer?

I am a life coach and I have this group on Yahoo! for teens to complete challenges and activities which have deadlines for them to complete them by. I have these teens open up with me and other teens around their age. The problem is that it seems like I'm forcing them to complete them %26amp; they don't seem eager to do them, how can I get them more excited? What are teens doing for fun nowadays? Any ideas, please share them? What would you like me to add to the group?


I'm rethinking the whole way I started this group out. Please help and answer all the questions I just asked.

Teens Only? Please answer?
I agree with a previous answer that there shouldn't be deadlines. How can you ask someone to share their feelings and put a deadline on it?


When you give deadlines, we feel pressured, we already have sports homework friends clubs and have to spend time with family so another deadline will only make your group resent you.


Many kids my age wont say how they feel because they are affraid of being made fun of or that people will view them as something that they aren't.


It can be hard for people to share their feelings so just let the kids in your group open up to you in their own time. Eventually they will trust you enough that they will talk.

Reply:I know that people at my school participated in an activity for not smoking, with deadlines, etc..., and at the end of it they got a starbucks card and other gift certificates


It sounds like a good idea, but maybe something to motivate them like a giftcard- perhaps the first 5 people to turn the form in would get something, etc...


However, it might be a problem giving it to them, as this is completed online
