Problems of young

Problems affecting young generation cover a wide range of activities from education, health and housing to
employment, criminal justice and participation in public life. These problems of young reflect the problems of
society as a whole entity, because our tomorrow day in greatly part depends on how our young generation will
be and how it will be able to cope with difficulties of life. That is way there is an acute need to consider them
with more attention and focus, this means an increasingly important role for youth policy within mainstream
politics which requires a more integrated approach to the needs of young people, intensified contact with
youth organizations and further involvement in practical activities such as youth work, non-formal approaches
to education, volunteering and development. Young people have to be considered as a resource for society.

But first of all, to deal with the problems, they need to be recognized and studied in a fundamental approach,
to indentify main cause and eradicate it in very beginning.

Poverty

In world today, millions of young people suffer from a range of problems which are increasingly related to
economic, social and cultural, rather than political issues. Sadly, young people (and children) are more likely
to be affected by poverty and other results of the high unemployment levels and social difficulties, than adults.

And these are more striking, as young people are more vulnerable, because they are more dependent on
adults and on acquired skills. That is way it is more likely for youngster then for an adult to get in vice circle of
poverty and need.

 Another Problem is education access.

Education is considered by many people as the only way to ensure the integration of young people into social
life and to lead them out of poverty. Indeed, with the constantly growing technical progress, more and more of
uneducated are left outskirt of modern economy and behind of poverty line. Due to the efforts of governments
lots of progress has been made in this field. In fact it is safe to say that today’s young people are better
educated than the youngsters of any of the preceding generations. Enrolment into higher education has
increased in most countries; the increase was threefold in some industrialized countries between 1990 and
2005. However, there is still much to do, as recent experience showed to ensure the only access to education
system is not enough, it also needs to be harmonized more with the labor market. 

Getting a job and housing

Few of the young people had been unemployed; almost all those who were not ill or had childcare
commitments were in work.

However, many of the young people saw work in rural areas as being low paid and with limited prospects.
Those who had originally been pleased to leave school early and get semi-skilled manual work now found that
they had become tied into employment that in the long term proved unrewarding and without any option of
advancement. Those young people who had acquired well-paid, good quality work considered themselves
lucky: once such places were filled, job turnover was regarded as being low. Few of the young people in this
sort of work said that they would consider changing jobs.

Some of the young people who had gone into full-time higher education had done so to 'escape' limited rural
prospects. Most only realised later that it would be impossible to get graduate-status work in the area in which
they had grown up, and that the step up the career ladder was inevitably a step out of the countryside. Most
students anticipated looking for work nationally rather than locally.

Finding a home

In the countryside, securing work and a home brought with it the need to maintain independent transport. As
one young woman noted: Before you can even look for a job ... you've got to know which areas you can get to
easily so that you can be reliable. Before you get a house, you've got to get a job. So you've got to have
money before you start, to get a car, to get a job, or whatever.

For those who had found jobs locally, holding down work often meant having to own a car, since public
transport was often deemed expensive and unreliable. Indeed, some interviewees commented that some job
offers were conditional on candidates having a car to get them to work. Many young people had to make a
choice between owning a car and living independently: many saw living in the parental home as the only
financially viable housing option. Only one of the single young people was living independently and working in
the countryside; to some degree this was only possible because she lived in a market town and was able to
walk to work.

The majority of respondents noted the limited availability of affordable housing to buy or rent. The poor quality
of available properties was also an issue: a couple of young people had found that fuel costs had been too
high in properties that were cheap to rent because they had no central heating, and they had to return to the
parental home. Vermin were also a problem. For some young people, demand for holiday homes had pushed
up house prices and reduced the number of properties available to rent. None of the young single people
viewed social housing as a viable option, because they thought that supply was limited, with priority given to
families.

Continuing to live in the parental home was a short-term solution, but could not always be relied on in the
longer term. The young man who was homeless had left the parental home to rent privately once he had
found work. His employment was affected by a long period of illness, and he lost his accommodation. He had
tried to return to his mother's house but she had remarried and it was no longer convenient for her to house
her adult child.

Reliance on the parental home also became unfeasible when young people wanted to form couples and start
a family. Even with a dual income, young people still found it difficult to afford a place of their own. Only two
couples had managed to find a place to live in the countryside by the end of the research period: one of these
was in a tied cottage owned by her partner's parents; the other couple - both in good jobs - had returned to the
local market town after living in a city for a while and bought a house.

Young families still did not consider social housing to be an option; the experience of the lone parents in the
interview sample indicated some reasons why that was the case. Two had found trying to secure
accommodation from the council highly problematic. One had been told that she had insufficient priority points
and so would have to continue living with her toddler in an unheated, private rented flat. The other said that
she now felt trapped in the housing association property she had been given; the rent was so high that she felt
that she would be unable to get work that would cover childcare costs and pay the rent. In both these cases,
the young women had had limited access to advice and advocacy services.

Mental Health

The constant growth of modern technology entails growing complicacy of life, which in its turn extant the age
of an entry into adolescence. Indeed, in order to became an independent grown up person and integrate
successfully in adult society and start you have to match certain criteria, like have an education, housing and
have a solid life experience. With our today’s diversity of life it is the mentioned before criteria is getting more
and more complicating. Taking into account the fact, that not everybody has an equal opportunity of access to
means and knowledge, matching the mentioned before criteria is getting more and more highly difficult task.
With so difficult diversity of modern life to make a right choice and stay focused on your way to success it is
difficult even for an experienced adult, so what to say about youngster who is has barely grew up to start an
adult life, and roughness of life push him in the struggle for life. Plus the media instead of helping out with
guiding of making right choice, and popularize strong family relation, friendship and truth love for closest one,
media portrays more and more black side of life, it shows rich and self-satisfied celebrities with perfect
bodies, whose success seemed to be due more to lucky strike or to their beauty sublimity, than to the
diligence and self-sacrifice. Getting commercialized media tycoons thinks more about stuffing their pockets
with money from commercials, then thinking about young generation. Therefore, actual is not what is
problematic or what has being traditionally holding as together and giving us strength to overcome difficulties,
the most actual is getting what can bring more income commercials. They deceive themselves and deceiving
peoples, thinking that making a reality show about shallow and ignorant people chasing occasional wealth is
more actual and interesting, instead making a reality show about boys and girls whom experienced adults
helps on their way of studying life, and on their way to success. Instead of giving outlet to new ideas and
people who can and wants to change the world they litter broadcast with all sort of trifle. Taking into
consideration how much time kids spend watching TV no wonder that with such an approach media provoke
wrong and rootless formation of vain values of young generation and provokes more of stressfulness

Family Problems

The family, most of the time, is the children's biggest influence. What they say and what they do usually
resulted from the things that they learned at home. Kids with violent fathers, loud mothers, intimidating
brothers, and annoying sisters would rather be on the street and are more likely to use drugs. A lot of kids
who suffer from substance abuse started the habit just to "escape" the problems at home. Kids, especially
those from broken families, usually turn to meth for some comfort since they don't have the love and support
from either parent.

Peers Pressure

Almost every kid struggles with "fitting in" into their respective cliques. Having a group of friends is one
of the most important necessities in a kid's life. Nobody wants to be a loner, that's for sure. During their early
years, a lot of kids will find themselves in a stage where they would do anything just to fit in and be cool. Most
substance abuse cases resulted from peer pressure. Some kids consider substance abuse as a means of
bonding or a way of showing their coolness.
DRUGS

Drugs are one of the most serious problems facing today's young generation. It also complex problems
because there is no one factor leading to drug abuse. Considering the facts about drugs, we need to ask
ourselves, "Why do some teenagers use drugs?" Some might find their present life boring. Others may have
too many problems. Or maybe, some teenagers use drugs to gain respect in a gang. At other times, it's just
curiosity. But now it is clear it is very hard to restrict youngsters from trying drugs, because curiosity is the
hardest of temptation to resist. Therefore the main problem is not first try, main problem is turn of first try into
abuse, and finding the way to draw off the bent for drugs to some other thing, for example to love for
somebody or something beloved. When youngster will fill that he is needed by society that somebody is caring
for him, or that it is possible to have pleasure not only from drugs but from doing favorite sport or hobby, he or
she will find more strength to overcome desire to return to drug use.

Cross - generation cooperation

To pay all the necessary attention to all existing problem and social participation of not only of the
government social services is the major way for the solution of existing problems,

In ancient Greek society, participation was considered to be an aim of education. They realized it already in
those times that participation could only be taught by letting, encouraging and supporting young people to try
to assume responsibility and to really participate in the development of society.  

Decision makers have to pay special attention to participation, as today's young people are often forced into
the role of spectators of society, or into the role of consumers rather than that of participants. All of us are
aware that participation is a counter reaction against the concentration of power in a welfare state. This is the
most important way to strengthen the diminishing civil sector of society. Therefore real participation is very
challenging for people with power, especially for decision makers.  

Participation provides training in democracy and a possibility for young people to strengthen their self reliance
and solidarity Young people have the right to be included, to be allowed and encouraged to assume duties
and responsibilities and to make one's own decisions.
