Usually it is complained that our youth is involved in crimes and other improper activities and they waste their time a lot. At the same time, it is also a fact that our youngsters are having so many problems due to which they go astray and fall into bad hands or habits. In Shahre-Naw, there is a park where youngsters can be seen playing football in the darkness of evening. Similarly, there are not present playing grounds for them and they play their sports in streets or sides of busy roads. The education they get in school is also not attractive enough where they stay for two to three hours every day and learn very less. It is the reason why, they are also not nicely attached with their schools and subjects. On the other hand, the social evils like drugs, bad company, and others are rampant and widely available so there would be no surprise if they get indulged in them.

It is our belief that our youth are not less than youths of any other country and if they are provided with due opportunities and facilities, they can also exhibit their hidden qualities and prove to be good members of our society. This has been proved by numerous athletes, footballers and others who showed their talents when they were given with an opportunity. It is also a sad reality that our youth try to be attached with positive activities like language learning, joining karate clubs, and computer courses but unfortunately, excessive negative aspects in society really dishearten them. It is the reason why, they get involved in those activities which are not regarded so good in our society.

Having a look at the deteriorating behaviors and emotional and moral conditions of our youth, it becomes the responsibility of all to work on emergency basis to safeguard our youth. It becomes the responsibility of our government to provide the youth with all the opportunities to keep them busy in positive activities like sport, recreation and learning different skills. In this regard, concerned ministries and so-called NGOs working for the youth welfare should perform their duties nicely and don’t rely only on seminars and news-conferences. Parents must also give proper attention to the activities of their children and provide them with the opportunities to improve their social and intellectual skills to make them better members of society.
