Harry Styles and Liam Payne fight cancer: members of the boy band equipment to raise money for awareness (VIDEO)

1 D boys are characterized by being pretty goofy, but recently, two of the five boy band members took a break from showing his silly side - and his next projects - to talk about something more serious.

In a new video, Harry Styles and Liam Payne sat down to explain that one of every three people develop cancer at some point in their lives, reason by which come along with prizeo.com to create awareness.

"Cancer that affects us all in some way and all we know of someone he had, whether it is a parent, a member of our family, a friend or a neighbor", says Harry. Message watch Liam and Harry in the above video.

According to MTV.com, coworkers are asking for donations in an effort to educate about lifestyle options to help prevent cancer among young people. By donating, fans are put automatically in the race by a large (read: amazing) reward.

Partnering with Trekstock - an organization that supports youth with cancer - the winner of the Grand Prize will be to fly to London with a friend to go out at night in the city with the guys. The winner will be selected at random.

What could be better than a trip to London? Exit with two-fifths of 1 d, obviously.

What do you think of Liam and Harry's message? What would you do if you could hang out with them? Tell us in the comments, or tweet @HuffPostTeen!

Dr. Susan Engel, Development Psychologist, On How To Raise A Happy And Healthy Child (VIDEO)

The key to raising successful kids? Depends on how you define "success," says author and leading development psychologist, Dr. Susan Engel.

At the Aspen Ideas Festival in June, Engel talked to HuffPost Live about the mistakes parents make while raising their children.

"Part of it is the idea that if they just do everything right, they can make their child exactly what they want them to be," she said, "And part of it is the idea that what they want them to be is highly successful, in what I consider to be somewhat outdated or useless notions of what success is."

Engel explained that the secret to having a happy, healthy child largely involves letting go and recognizing him or her as an independent person.

Engel first popularized the idea in a 2011 New York Times op-ed titled, "Let Kids Rule the School," in which she followed a group of eight public high school students who developed their own curriculum and ended up learning more than they ever had in a traditional classroom.

When asked her thoughts on HuffPost's Third Metric, Engel responded, "I realized that success has to do with finding some sense of meaning and purpose in life, some sense of joy and some sense of personal connection."
