**They have been broken up as such to account for each groups specific developmental interests. **
Ex-What matters most to a late 20-something does not (always) concern a "recent" teen.
--To lump these ages together in a "mass range" is to deny the intricate cares of each sub-range. And yet, as different as each group is, in the end, what is most important for one is inevitably equally important for another.--
Ex-Health & Hygiene, Financial responsibility, Healthy relationships, Environmental, Energy, & Human Rights Awareness, etc.
