Challenges Facing the Youth in Today’s Society

 

Most of the problems facing today’s youth are not restricted to any one ethnic or religious group, but affect young people generally. Most discussions on youth have focussed on issues such as drug abuse, crime, violence, sexuality and poverty. In addition to these, today’s youth are afflicted by new challenges.

These include:

1.     An Identity Crisis: Who am I?

2.     Lack of self confidence and low self esteem: I am worthless

3.     A sense of hopelessness: Where am I   going?

4.     Confusion and ambiguity concerning moral issues: What is right and wrong?

5.     The negative impact of the electronic media: Entertainment ?

6.     Competitiveness in education: the uneven playing field: Excellence by whom? Not Me.
