These cases were developed through several interviews with a group of teenagers who have different cultural, socioeconomic, religious, and language backgrounds. At the end of each case, there are some questions to stimulate reflection, critical thinking, and a search for solutions to the problems presented.

These cases can be used in a variety of settings such as class discussions.
