“Our youths are constantly forced to act and feel a certain way and society enjoys dictating how the youths should behave.
They feel the pressure of fitting into society’s norm and while the family is fun, it can also be full of tensions.”
“These have made many of them resort to drug abuse and excessive use of alcohol.
Many young people have to leave school just to fend for their families, especially young girls, who are on the streets because they need to send money home.”
He concluded by advising that people shift their values and teach the youths to learn to accept and love themselves and not to live above their earnings in a bid to belong.
