New kid on the block

So ive just recently come across this website, and im absolutly facinated. I think the first night i went on, i spent about 5 hours looking at everything and reading eveyones work. Its so cool how we, as youth, can now make so many connections all over the world. Its also really cool to talk to people from different countries, and get their perspectives on things. At my highschool we have a program called "peer mediation" and in the class we talk about how to resolve conflict in a peaceful manner. Our world today is so filled with war and hate, that from time to time its nice to be able to connect with people who believe we can change that, and begin to live in a world of peace and liberation. I am very excited to be working alone side my peer mediation teacher to begin to develop a course to teach this stuff to younger kids, so that as they grow up it just becomes a part of who they are. Ive started to try out my ideas in a classroom of older, highschool aged kids, but my plan is to start work in my community in elementary schools and see how it works. When i came on this site, it was more just to see what it was all about, but now that im here, ill stay. There is so much to learn from people of other cultures, which is why one of my dreams is to go to Africa and learn more about their culture and people first hand. If anyone has any comments about comflict resolution and maybe different things they were taught when they were younger, please feel free to comment on this and let me know, the more input the better, like i said i can learn so much from other cultures and possibly integrate it into what im going to teach, and thats methods of conflict resolution, besides violence.
