7. CONCLUSIONS

Whenever youths are faced with and involved in chronic danger, there are two alternative models for responding. The first accentuates ideological interpretation and giving meaning to dangerous events and thus provides social structure and significance to danger. This response may well shield youths from some mental health problems. The second model is devoid of political significance and is likely to produce a situation in which hopelessness and despair translate into within-group violence, depression, and self-hatred. These two models force dominant groups and professionals concerned with the mental health of children and youths to choose between the challenges of contending with revolutionary politics and the convenience of coping with the fruits of acquiescence. Neither comes without costs. That there are reserves of humanism among youths living in political conflict and day-to-day danger and that they can speak with an advanced moral voice are good signs. Amidst all the darkness, there are glimmers of sunshine. Finding these glimmers and nurturing them depends upon being able to hear what youths are saying about their efforts to cope with the consequences of living in danger (Garbarino, Stott, & Faculty of Erikson Institute, 1989).
