Editorial/ Reclaiming One of Our own

On agenda this week is the sticky sensitive matters surrounding the lives of young people. Based on the series shuga, young people have been portrayed as loose, careless and narrow minded. Many are driven by avarice and the love for sex more than the natural in build embers of real love. sensitive issue of love, sex and money are taken for granted as though they are common fruits in the local markets. On this take,we drop civilization and sophistication and look at the typical ordinary young person and how he/she uses his/her life in the name of enjoying her youth.

Themes of innocence and ignorance plays large ogling freely around the young people's lives. Picture a young man or woman straight from high school joining the community; how little or how much do these guys know concerning matters of love, sex and money? Whether they know something about these issues is quite a hard nut to crack but the real truth here is that, danger romps open armed with its associate potential of ruining a life. In other words, the probability of such delicate minds succumbing to their predicament is absolutely one. Tricky and slippery as those matters sound, is what many a youth out there are embroiled in. So they are naive and ignorant to be level headed enough to think to save their lives. Yet when when they walk out of their classroom to the society, they find a damaged disarrayed jumbled and crying environment without any under laid stringent authoritative structure to offer them direction to stabilize their  foundation and impact them for maturity in order to expand their thinking capacity to transition in the society safely.

Such is the neglect and wide gap thatexists today around the thousands of lives of the formative. The older generation have continuously moved ahead and practically forgotten the welfare of their young people. Where they walk, what they expose their minds to and how and whom they mingle with seems to be a far fetched idea that our modern parents have grown to give little attention. They are only awaken when a state of emergency arises and after everything else is spoiled. All in all, shuga is here with us yet again and trying its best to pass a message. There exists a serious problem amongst our young generation that needs to be addressed with both necessity and urgency. The responsibility lies in the hands of the youth themselves and partially on their parents.

We appeal for the voices of our parents which have been silent for too long now. Sticky issues as these cannot continuously escape their attention to fall off to this extreme. They must speak to their children and be advised to come out of their cocoons. On similar ground, we advise you our fellow youth to take your time and understand the state of affairs before jumping unaware into capital matters because almost all your friends are engage in a kind of a turmoil. To your notice, innocence period passed a long time ago,all you need to do and know is to choose to grow up and be responsible. Your future is more imperative and that  is what you should be more concerned than the short term baseless jaunts founded on wrong underpinnings encapsulated with serious consequences if not well contained and controlled. Invest in self improvement to know what you don;t know yet to secure a good meaningful enjoyable future. Keep reading for our hands are highly motivated to inform.
