Adolescents are stressed by the multiple demands of our society. As the Research <br /> Triangle becomes a boom area, many of the children of the people who built this county are <br /> falling behind in their ability to panicipate in the economic growth. <br /> Dr. Loda challenged his audience to consider Orange County resources and problems, "not in a <br /> spirit of panic, not in a spirit of despair, nor in the spirit of blind optimism." Rather, he encour- <br /> aged seeking the help of adolescents, and setting about"correcting some of the situations that <br /> lead to failure and replacing them with opportunities for success." <br /> Six "break-out" groups met to discuss problems, issues and gaps in youth services.
