Today most of the problems facing our youth are not restricted to any ethnic or religious group, but affect young people generally. Historically, the older generation has managed to transmit their beliefs, values, traditions, customs, to the younger members of their societies. This was achieved largely because of the impact of agencies of socialisation such as the family, religion and the schools. But,today the impact of these institutions has been challenged and undermined by new forces, particularly the internet and the TV. Our youths must realise the need to stay true to themselves by being who they are rather than being who someone wants them to be or who their friends want them to be. Sometime poverty is another issue which can have a lot of negative effects on our youths. Coming from a poor families, our youths both males and females may see the need to take control by doing whatever it takes to generate an income for themselves. Though poverty should not be a reason for such actions. Sometime, it is very hard to think straight under pressure, so our youths sometime make bad decisions which they later regret. What we must understand is that our youths face numerous challenges and so they need guidance, they need someone whose willing to listen, understand and relate to them. Someone who is not quick to judge but quick to listen, someone who is not quick to condemn but always ready to offer words of advice. Though many youths may react unappreciative to the advice, some do take it into consideration and even do what was said. The decline in being ambitious. For some reason, our youths today find great difficulty in communicating with others effectively. They go about it the wrong way or they do not know how to put what they feel into words. What is worse is the decline in ambition. Many of our youths seem to be happy with receiving whatever life throws at them that they no longer see the need to set goals nor work to achieve them. There are many more issues which affects the lives of our youths today. But,what our youths need to realise is that, although they are faced with numerous struggles and obstacles, they have what it takes to overcome them. Many of our youths seem to be happy with receiving whatever life throws at them that they no longer see the need to set goals nor work to achieve them. Our youths today must also realise that in order to overcome any challenges they must be positive, dedicated and determined. They must realise the need to be equipped with everything positive to achive success. Above all, they must realise that in everything they do, they need Allah(SWT). May Allah(SWT) continue to guide our youths to be better people tomorrow. Ameen Ya Rabbi.
