Social Skin Concluding Reflection

What are the most significant things you learned about yourself and your peers through the course of your research?

I discovered what a need there is for more thought about faith in the lives of middle-adolescents, who so often focus on nothing other than school, sports, friends, and fun. Many teenagers are quite unsure of their faith, even if they identify with a particular belief system, and there often is a lack of depth of understanding even in those who are more certain in their faith. School is a hard place to help though, as whatever is done causes many to lose interest, especially if it is required.
Another significant thing that I learned is how great the differences between people are, just looking at the research we did. Some are agnostic yet think about what they believe over 7 hours a day, others are Christian and think about their faith 0 minutes per day. Some have good morals in their behavior yet are very unsure of their faith, others are disrespectful while having a strong idea about their beliefs. Often it is hard to observe these things just on the surface, and so conducting interviews and sending out surveys can be very insightful. There is a great deal of doubt and many misconceptions that live in the minds of teenagers pre-occupied with life.
