We are young for only a short time, yet we understand that as we age,
impressions. As young people venture into adulthood, the opinions, attitudes, and belief of new generations affect visions of the future, how communities organize and how institutions operate.
Youth occupy a paradoxical position. Opportunities stretches in front of us, change is always inevitable. We have the energy and time to pursue our dreams and hopes, yet our eagerness and passion are feared among old generation which is too conservative.
It is common for us to be viewed as troublemakers, hooligans, and unruly. We are not typically conceived as productive and constructive social actors, but rather as potential sources of political disruption, delinquency and criminality.
YOUTH are a combination of Vision, Determination, Vigor and Potency that can lead to effective Initiatives, Campaigns and Movements through which young people can voice their ideals and change the course of their society. This shall be the top agenda for Youth Affairs Association which shall unite all Youths and become the voice of the voiceless and the vulnerable group in our society
Youth in Kenya today are passionate and enthusiastic, rebellious and raucous. They are idealistic and risk taking yet easily manipulated on tribal and regional basis. We are glorified and demonised inspiring hope for the future but raising concerns of a present danger.
Youthful age is the most turbulent period in life, a time spent searching for identity and place, family responsibilities may as yet be limited. Education offers enlightenment for some, though, for many it is difficult to attain since the increase in the educational facilities and institution does not accommodate the growing population. This makes the youth view leading a life without a future, a life that is accompanied by desperation and suffering
when
we attain our old age. Time is short when we can invest our youthful age energy and potency for the future, unless we are accorded a conducive environment through recognition and empowerment in the society, we really don't see the future of the future majority (youth).
Quoting First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt for our leaders, "I live in real terror when I think we may be losing this generation. We have got to bring these young people into the active life of the
community and make them feel that they are necessary."
Faces of desperate displaced women
Further research on whether there has been a comparable rise in emotional and behavioral disorders among younger age groups or whether this is a specific problem in the society need to be addressed since some youth have been engaging in dehumanizing activities which pose lot of fear and terror to the society.

I like the name Wet paint. It gives me the picture of this country. The Youth can be seen as a paint in progress; where some strokes of oil are still drying. We are painting a blueprint for our nation. We have the brush that can paint a dull and ugly future or a bright and beautiful future.
We have got to discontinue the bad trends of corruption, impunity, immorality, irresponsibility that have become the hue and consistency in our nation. This can only happen when we make it our honest endeavor to uphold justice in everything we do, when we learn to seek peace even when it makes no sense and when we learn to say no to evil even where it may seem profitable to us. It is the time to realize that change begins in our hearts. What we see is an explosion and you can always tell what is in the heart by the result. |
