Programme For Youth. The Effort Of No Exhort.

YOUTH Expectation and Yields Monday, May 18, 2009 Strategies, discussions, debates, talks, activities, and other measures have been taken by the ‘concerned parties’ on today’s youth. The major and yet to be confused reason behind all these is the whys and the wherefores regarding such act. Fogged by current accomplishments in overall academic performance of the country where the overall passing rate for major examinations has been hiking for the past few years along with the existence of ‘A collectors’ where it has become a norm for a student to take 16 subjects and above yet strive in their examinations, the public has missed out the essential component of a youth that we long for-the integrity. Intelligence without integrity will just mould another individual with visions but without morality taken into consideration. Such people are the reason why unnecessary war, terrorism, massacres, genocides, deforestation and other infamous doings manifests into mankind. The Issues Torn family relationships, rudeness in socializing, breached sex border, intake of self-destructive chemicals, obscenities, outlandish outfit trends, and other upshots brought about by development which is worldly oriented leaving holistic values aside are the crisis that needs attention. The Measures Obviously the efforts made are well-known but are these steps really help resolving the problem or the other way around? What about the effectiveness? Youth Gathering Activities What the folks say… It’s okay to see that the youth are having a nice time, making friends, doing healthy activities when such activities are organized. If it weren’t for this activity they might be hanging out in the cybercafés, loitering or just hooked with their bikes at these times. What the organizer say… We are concerned with nowadays youth. We are hoping that these generations are well-prepared to serve their role in the future and I believe it is our duty to help in preparing them in doing so.

What I have to say… From my point of view, the sole purpose for the activities conducted deserve compliment but perhaps due to some ‘values’ missing the target is not being fulfilled. There, the youth freely smoke in public amongst themselves as if it is some means of having new friends where through smoking new ‘smoking friends’ can be made. Correct me if I am wrong but all religion are not supporting smoking as it brings harm to the doers as well as people around them. Then how are we going to solve the greater problem concerning the youth if such simple problem as smoking is out of control? The steady flow of cigarettes in markets making the cigarettes highly available for these youth to get their hands on it is a simple example bringing greater message which for a success to be achieved effort need to be gathered from all people. Next, rather than implementing the need for a controlled socializing between them, the gathering ‘catalyzes ‘their interaction between opposite sexes. Seeing couple grasping each other’s hand is unfortunately a common scene there. In a few months or so there will be on the newspaper on such case where babies are found dead in the rubbish dump, sewages, and bushes abandoned to their death and yet we are still saying that today’s youth are in good hands. Basically from knowing to loving, dating to sleeping, smoking to taking drugs, stealing to robbery and other sorts of disastrous behavior seem to be making their way in today’s youth and to make it even serious we are really lending them a hand by encouraging them to ‘expand their horizon of wrongdoings available for commitment’. The reason on such statement is due to current state where the negative can easily influence the positive into turning to their opposite. The deduction that can be made by linking the facts before is obvious for interpretation. What needs to be done? Trying to elaborate all the details is not worth of time as the number of youth getting involved in this vicious plague is increasing as I type the details and it also to save my own ass from having constipation due to prolonged seating…
