Is it still possible to claim that we, the youth of today is the hope of tomorrow with Premarital Sex, Drug Addiction and Teenage Pregnancy as just few of the many issues linked to us so called potential leaders?
Scientists, I must say. We ourselves possibly hate the subject science but may also be unaware that we, in fact, are practical Scientists. The youth of today is open-minded, naturally curious and experimental; descriptions that best fit no other profession but a scientist.
To be open-minded is good but why do we get engaged into wrong doings? Isn’t it because of our being inquisitive? As they say, curiosity killed the cat. My attention was struck by a condom advertisement for it seemed to have us, the youth, as its intended audience, with a catchphrase saying “get into it”. Get into what, using condoms? Why then would we use condoms if not for sex? Mass media may be one of the main causes for the false culture implied into our young minds.
Given that we are naïve, we easily get influenced. We tend to imitate what we see on TV, hear from the radio and read from papers. Temptation is hard for us to conquer that we become gutsier and even more experimental. It’s a courageous act to stay pure when we belong to a society where the basis of acceptance is to get into what everybody else is doing.
Great, if we become modern versions of Albert Einstein and Galileo, and make use of our potentials not exactly to discover or invent hi-tech gadgets but to at least make use of them for the common good. But as what I see now-a-days, these God-given potentials have misled us to the wrong path.
Still, let us please not be judgmental. Incase we have forgotten, Sir Isaac Newton, who is considered to be one of the most important scientists of all time, was merely a quiet boy and an inattentive student before he had formulated the laws of gravitation and motions. Instead, I am calling everyone, despite our age differences to be supportive. Kindly, remind us, the youth, of what is expected from us. And in time, we would realize that it is still in our hands, where hope remains.

Is till believe that the youth today are the hope of our nation. There are youth who are still striving to help our country. There are youth who keep on expressing their sentiments through making rallies. However, there are youth who are engage in Pre-marital sex, drug addiction and teenage pregnancy. These are the youth who are expose in too much harassment in life. These are the youth who don’t have the guidance of their parents and who don’t have educational attainment. But we should not judge them. All they need is our help, our comfort and our care. There’s no wrong of giving help to those youth who are living in the dark road of life. Let’s give them the chance to prove their self that they ca do something in our country.
