The Youth Center as the Focal Point of Youths' Free Time Habits and Wishes

Abstract

This study is a survey, commissioned by the local mayor, involving young persons from the ages of 10-17 in Neubiberg in the vicinity of Munich, as to how they spend their free time and what they might expect from a youth center. The thorough questionnaire is included as an appendix to the study, and the author obtains, to his great delight, a high level of participation: approximately 85 percent of those given a survey ultimately returned the document fully completed. The most important of the resulting data seem to indicate that the youths feel somewhat undersupported by their parents, teachers, and model adults, whereas they do not see, to require highly active involvement from these same people, only constant readiness to give advice and to solve problems.
