How do we promote young saints in a way teens will want to read/watch?

It's what a religious told me, using Maria Goretti as an exemple. I still struggle with her because of that.

I think for young males, you need to show that some were "men of action".  It's good that the blog listed Bl. Frassati; another one that may appeal to younger people is St. Gabriel Possenti ("the gun saint") who, as a seminarian, used his marksman skills to ward off rogue soldiers terrorizing an Italian town without harming anyone (except the snake).  Another, although not as young, would be Servant of God Vincent Cappodano, a military chaplain who died on the battlefield in Vietnam ministering to Marines.
