ROLE OF YOUTH IN SOCIETY

Youth are back bone to the nation. They can change the future of the so-

ciety with their well-being and courageous behavior. They are here to show us that which we have not been willing to look at within ourselves. Unfor-

tunately today we find the youth those who are more interested in other

places witch are not useful to them as well as nation. They choose to spend

their days doing drugs and playing video games. They spend their nights

partying and living it up, so to speak. More and more young men of this age group are sitting at home in front of their televisions playing games all day

instead of bettering themselves or going to work. They have no vision and

if they do have dreams they do not have the drive to make any attempt at achieving them.

We must get control of this. We must motivate our youth. We must teach responsibility and goal setting. I fear if we do not we will soon be sup-

porting an entire generation of homeless and needlessly on welfare fami-

lies. Things have to change, with our schools, with the older generation be- ing good role models, with the older generation being mentors, and with the youth who are right now doing nothing

Those of you are in age of teen. You have a choice. You can allow your- selves to stay your course and do nothing or you can rise above what the cynics around you expect and go get educated or get jobs. Show the older generation they are wrong about you. Let them know you have intelligence and skills. Show yourself what you are made of. You might be surprised at how proud of yourself you become with even the smallest of accomplish- ments. I can tell you that nothing can happen if you do not try bad or good. You will not become rich overnight either way but at least if you make an effort, then you have begun your journey to your dreams. Key role of youth in society is to renew, refresh and maintain a civilization.
