How to use youth in a sentence?

1. Gavin Grimm:

   I am glad that my years-long fight to have my school see me for who I am is over. Being forced to use the nurse's room, a private bathroom, and the girl's room was humiliating for me, and having to go to out-of-the-way bathrooms severely interfered with my education, trans youth deserve to use the bathroom in peace without being humiliated and stigmatized by their own school boards and elected officials.

2. Haniel Long:

   In youth the human body drew me and was the object of my secret and natural dreams. But body after body has taken away from me that sensual phosphorescence which my youth delighted in. Within me is no disturbing interplay now, but only the steady currents of adaptation and of sympathy.

3. Henry M. Wriston:

   A guidance counselor who has made a fetish of security, or who has unwittingly surrendered his thinking to economic determinism, may steer a youth away from his dream of becoming a poet, an artist, a musician or any other of thousands of things, because it offers no security, it does not pay well, there are no vacancies, it has no future.

4. Candace Hammer:

   In our culture, we revere youth and beauty, so this is opening up the channels to have the 'let's talk' conversation, it's not shameful that you should need care.

5. Marvin D. Levy:

   The day a person becomes a cynic is the day he loses his youth.
