Dear Editor – I’m writing to you today to express my concern about youth facilities in our communities and the right of youth to empowerment.
Youths who don’t have enough space to grow up engage in illegal activities like drinking alcohol, smoking, and committing violent crimes.
However, this is to be expected when they see more bars, bottle shops, and clubs than youth centres, counselling centres, and other helpful youth resources.
Being a young person myself, I firmly think that youth empowerment is vital to any nation or culture. Giving young people the means, means, and chances to improve their abilities and follow their passions and aspirations is known as youth empowerment.
Investing in youth empowerment benefits our societies’ and our country’s future well-being in addition to the youth itself.
Investing in our youths is important because they are our future.
