The teen birthrate is at its lowest levels in 60 years. I believe that today s teens are more sexually conservative. Violence is down, gang activity is down and drug use is down. Teens, in general, want a bright future. So, in spite of a lot of terrible things going on, our youth need to be praised and further encouraged. Let me give you two incredible examples of two teens that I met at our Be An Eleven Seminars.<br>At our seminar in Silverton, Oregon, one junior athlete really stood out. He was Hispanic and had this wonderful glow and smile. He was always respectful and courteous to everyone. He was an eleven. His father died in prison and all of his brothers were in gangs and constantly in trouble with the law. This kid decided, on his own, to move in with his grandparents. The smaller town of Silverton got him away from many negative situations. He took responsibility for his own greatness. When you do that, you become an eleven.<br>At one seminar at a High School in California, I asked about deaths in the family. A few had lost grandparents but one football player had lost his father. I asked him how his father had died. He replied,  Coach, he was tied up, taken to a remote spot in the desert and shot several times in the head. It was a drug deal gone bad. Yet here he was at a Be An Eleven Seminar. His goal was to get better and play his song. Wow!<br>But, on the other side, five teenagers, who came from solidly middle class families in New York, pummeled to death a 44-year old man. These kids had no prior criminal record. They were hungry so they ordered a bunch of Chinese food. They had no money
