The Zone team asked the youth what makes them feel most appreciated and understood.
Charlize Basson
When love and care are poured upon me without being asked, that's when I feel most valued and understood. When someone finally shows me that they value not only what I do for them, but also what I do for the next person, and that I, too, need what I am giving to them.
Atuzembi Kandando
What gives me the greatest sense of gratitude and understanding is when someone tries to truly hear my difficulties and shows a genuine interest in what I have to say. And when someone truly trusts me enough to open up to me about anything because I can always understand what they are going through.
Shannen Muller
When people compliment and acknowledge my traits/qualities. And a listening/affirming ear makes me weak in the knees.

When someone actually listens to what I have to say, I feel valued and appreciated. Additionally, it's critical that they react wisely because it demonstrates their interest in the discussion and my viewpoint. I feel like people actually understand where I'm coming from when they answer with empathy and understanding. Having a strong connection with someone is ultimately what it takes to feel understood and valued.
Gotlob Tjirera
The capacity for someone to try their best and comprehend what I'm saying and get a glimpse of it is what makes me feel the most valued and understood. When someone listens to what I say and doesn't simply take it as a joke. Additionally, I want others to reply in a way that makes me feel that what I just said or vented to them was heard or understood.
Jean-Rhyline Horases
When people respect me, my opinions and feelings; when they listen to me; when they honour their commitments, and when they have the decency to hear what I have to say in a conversation. Also, those who consistently express their gratitude to me. I bring out the best in people when someone appreciates the tiny things about me and always mentions the little good things.
