it's our youth

Youth has always been the hope of our country. We are always opting to take care and mold them in a way that they should be. Considering that they are the next generation, every youth in every country grows in a way how the elders that they respect taught them. By great characters and values, they too are unified with their cultures. But did you ever ask yourself if these youth that we are talking about wants the life that they have? What kind of life they really want for their future?

Youths in different countries have their own stories to tell. Some have the joyous life while others have the worst experienced in life. Praise for all the youth who grows up with the guidance of their parents, and pity those who are after that cold war. Running and hiding from falling bombs. These young people who live in this kind of condition are targeted for violence, abuse and exploitation. But often recruited by the armed forces and separated from their families. The young girls who are vulnerable at all times are always at the high risk of sexual abuse and exploitation. And here they suffer the related health problems including the disease of HIV/AIDS. Since they are directly affected of the conflicts happening around their surroundings, and despite of all the unstable situations that they encounter, these young people which we called our youth, do needs an important attentions too.

Each country is responsible for their owned citizens. As a part of the growing environment, concerned people from the government must move towards the recovery and rebuilding of an individual.

Some youth are drowned into drugs. It’s not an acceptable risk in the society and you knew that a lifelong reduction in your quality of life would still occur. You cannot control a life that goes out and there and making a niche for him. And of course, that involves working with people. Youth always seeks for own rights and having some personal interaction with other people can also be a way of developing oneself.

In a way that I can inflict my idea as a whole with the youth, I believe that I can do better if I have to start building my own self. The effort of helping the young people informed and being responsible with their decisions about their life and health can do a huge help in the part of a youth. It can be the best way of advocating their personality through positive and realistic approach to adolescent and sexual health. Giving the youth a vision of how they must be treated as a valuable resource in the society, with the core values of rights, respect, and responsibility. Building up an institutions and other association with great programs for physical, social and mental awareness can be the best strategy of diverting the attention of the youth, thus, keeping them from violence and temptation of the outside world which could bring them to a diminishing life.
