There are a myriad of problems facing the youth today. For starters there is the issue of drugs that are becoming more and more readily available to young people. Children are getting involved in drugs (be it illegal or otherwise) as young as elementary school. There are also the "cool" older siblings that find it amusing to watch their younger siblings get high, then there are the kids at school that other children want so badly to fit in with that they will do almost anything. Let's not forget the irresponsible parents doing drugs in front of their children pretending that it's no big deal. To be part of the "in crowd" is a highly coveted social position for today's youth. It is a position that many of them would give up their morals and even their health for.

Another issue that is plaguing our young people today is that of bullying. It can come in many forms (in person, over the phone, over the Internet) but every one of them can have harmful effects. In recent years, many young people have even committed suicide after being bullied. It is harmful to a person's self-esteem to be mocked and taunted. For those who already suffer with low self-esteem it can be devastating.

Lastly, let's take a look at the modern family unit. Mothers and fathers both work leaving kids home alone to get into trouble. All members of the family are busy and usually grab food on the go instead of eating as a family and strengthening those relationships. Especially at a young age, it is vitally important for parents to be there for their children and to build strong relationships with them. Believe it or not, young people do look up to their role models, so the more time they spend with parents who are a good example, the better.

Our Youth Today

Our Youth Today!!

Our Youth Today is already liberated. Party there, party here, party everywhere. What is happening to our youth? Shouldn’t teens be too young to be overwhelmed by feelings of despair and hopelessness? There are many countries in the world where despair would be understandable—countries where unbelievable hardship, poverty, starvation and violence are the daily reality.

Although it’s hard to admit, both youth and adults are facing a social crisis, and no one seems to quite know why. Talk show hosts have become millionaires by expounding on these problems and interviewing “experts.” Politicians push their proposed social reform programs, and communities pass more and more laws in an effort to control behavior, but these are all knee-jerk reactions to the problem. In order to affect real change, we must find the source of the problem.

So how does this relate to the crisis our younger generation is facing? Because they are at the peak of the evolution of desires, they inherently sense that money, fame and power will not lead them to true happiness. This doesn’t mean that the kids of today have no desire for anything; on the contrary, they have a huge desire: they just don’t know how to satisfy it.
