The Problems of Young

Youth! What a great time! It seems all roads of live give you green light. It is time for choosing, discovering, and learning. But these “choosing», «discovering” and “learning” are always accompanied with some problems. Youth is the time for "struggling" to fit into society.

Perhaps not many people think how many problems young people have. Adults think that in time of adolescence people simply enjoy life and nothing matters. That’s not exactly the truth. And what is the nature of those problems? Being still at the range of young people I would try to list some the main problems which to my mind are common for people of different countries.

So one of the most spread and ever-lasting problem is so called generation gap. Misunderstanding between parents and children makes life of both parties harder. And the only remedy for that is live through this period, be more patient and tolerant towards each other.

Besides having problems with parents young people also face with problem of relationship among their peers. First love, first fight, first fail in relationship stress people a lot and if adults are used to solve such problems then young generation has no experience in it and therefore it makes a huge stress.

Youth is the time when you put first bricks for your future career, profession, skills and so on.  You face the need of choosing profession, you need to figure out what you want to do for your future. Besides those not easy questions you need to become independent. Independent from parents morally and financially both. And this is not so easy. Young people even if they want to work they cannot find appropriate job in our country. Especially in small towns. So unemployment is one of the most serious problems young people have.

And even if they get job still their incomes are too low to be really independent from everybody. Very often it leads to a problem of “separating or living with parents”. Many young people want to live alone in this age but not many have such possibility so they keep living with their parents or relatives and this fact cause a lot of troubles too )))

To my mind the word “youth” is synonym to word “trouble” ))) Very often young people put themselves into risk by trying new things. Unfortunately not everything new is useful, interesting and efficient. For example drug-addiction. It is very hard to be young and try to stay away from trying any sorts of drugs. Why? I cannot explain. It is something to deal on psychological, emotional and social levels. Teenagers drug-addiction is great problem for whole world. This problem is not close to be solved. More than that, such problems become “younger” year by year.

I didn’t picture all problems that people face with. I only present some highlights. But even that was enough to expose the topic. Well at least I hope so. And maybe for some adults it would be useful to know that not only they have troubles and problems and headaches in live. We, young people, also have many humps on our way. The only thing is when we stumble and fall, it is more painful for us.
