Living in Butte County can be extremely difficult for young individuals in this day and age. Much of the region is dedicated to elderly retirement yet is surrounded by drugs, alcohol binge drinking, massive college parties and recent gang violence. Any of these things can take an excellent youth and drag them down. I am in no way saying that people who drink or use marijuana can't succeed in this world. But overindulgence can cause a massive side-track of their life and change their attitude on the world. In this economy having those kind of distractions can break a young man or woman's entire future. Some of the young adults in the region however have chosen the right path and are working, tax paying and excellent role-models for our small society. We need to really band together and help promote a generation of success and individuality rather than telling them to follow the crowd and end in the overall downhill spiral.
