Youths today are often brushed aside and not given any consideration by society and are left to find the answers to life on their own, which is leading to the rise in the number of them getting into trouble.

Those are the sentiments of New Methodist Church's Pastor Reijeli Vulaono during the Souls to Jesus Crusade as she addressed youths as part of her New Generation presentation today at the National Gymnasium.

Vulaono said parents often spend a lot of time on other social obligations which is taking them away from spending quality time with their children.
