Youth is not easy.In fact, like many others in the world, found or are finding youth difficult.There so many challenges just in physically growing up.There is awkwardness and growing pains, and the worst, puberty.There are times when you are confused and don’t know your place in life just because things are changing so fast.Just when you are getting comfortable in your skin it has evolved overnight into another skin.Just when you think you have figured life out it has changed again and you have to learn this new life and its new rules.The constant changes have your body and your mind in a constant spin and you don’t know when or where it is going to stop.
That is just the internal struggle of youth.Then you have the external struggles of youth.People won’t listen to you because you are just a kid.There are so many rules that you must follow as a youth, rules that have been laid down by the government, your teachers and your parents.Everything you do and want to do as a youth always seems to be breaking some one’s rules.
Youth is just not an easy thing no matter what your elders say.It is a confusing time.It is often a painful time emotionally and physically.The things that hurt us in our youth can follow us throughout our lives.It is not an easy thing to make it through unscathed and the majority of us have plenty of battle scars to show for it.
It is so easy to admire the nubile energy of youth and it can make one a little wistful for time long gone by. Watching the youth of the world gather energy, play, and know that they are going to take charge of the world soon can be a liberating experience or a frightening experience depending on how you choose to look at it. Today’s youth has been demanding but only because so much has been demanded of them. They have had to grow up faster than ever before and be ready not only to handle their own adult issues but the issues of adults as well. They have been stressed in schools and pushed to perform all while trying to dodge the constant invitation for drugs, alcohol, and sexual activity. There is a lot riding on today’s youth and there is a lot that they can accomplish with the right guidance.
When we look back at our childhoods and the compare them to those of today’s youth, we can gather comfort or fear from the fact that they have lived more in the first twenty years than most of us did in the first thirty five. There is a subtle expectation that the young people of today will lead us to a new and brighter tomorrow tainted with the slight expectation that they will fail because they have been exposed to so much so young. Believing in the power that today’s youth offers us gives them a thumbs up sign that we believe in them perhaps even more than they do.
Young people are very happy, because the whole life is ahead. They have all chances for everything and still can choose the career and make plans for the future. This is very good when you have a right to choose. You feel free and unrestricted. Besides, you are full of energy and optimism. People of a mature age feel less enthusiastic as their life is more complicated and they have already made their choice and if they feel that it was wrong, it is too late to change something. They simply have no time for that. They must earn money and raise children. That is why they have to put up with this wrong choice and all difficulties, they face. Young people are in a more privileged position. However, they are inexperienced. They are not so clever in the majority of cases and also are exposed to serious risks of making a wrong choice. They have wrong priorities and very often confuse important and secondary things. This lack of wisdom is parents’ fault. Parents must put their children to the straight and narrow. They must help their children to work out right priorities. It is understandable that young people are inexperienced. They have lived not so many years. This experience is acquired all their life but when you are at a mature age, it is often tool ate to change something. That is why, young people should listen to the pieces of advice of mature people and refuse their self-confidence, which is irrelevant in most cases. Young people easily make mistakes and they don’t understand that correction of mistakes is much harder than their avoidance.
