We gothrough various phases in life. And youth is a crucial part of one's life.These days are green and salad and young people often live in utopia. These days are fragile, gleeful, tiring and all those adjectives I'm out of right now. Youth forms the vanguard in most spheres of life and the strength they possess, must be mobilized to bolster any nation. The spent youth indeed have a hell lot of experience but experiences merely can't help in nation building. It also requires doggy strength of youth.

Nonetheless, this period is full of challenges too. It's a period where we take damages for life, some of which can be avoided and some of which we, unfortunately, can't. The former can be a real pain in the neck.

Addiction

Addiction is one such issue. From weed to a cup of coffee, we all are obsessed with something or someone. Addiction is a disease that impacts one's family, friends and even society. And problem with addiction is that it implies that we have no self control which is very important to live a peaceful life. It has been rightly said that the one who learns to conquer others is mighty and the one who knows to conquer himself is the mightiest. Addiction also includes people; jealousy, insecurity, extreme possessive nature all form a part of addiction.

Depression

Depression is the other problem the youth faces. No matter how life turns out, there always will be struggle. Dr APJ Abdul Kalam has rightly said ,"Struggle is the essence of success".We always feel like we're dealing with the problems nobody would've ever dealt with. But man compare your life with a kid of 1880s.Imagine his life without technology, without proper education and what not. Today's generation has become a pile of sensitive junk. We've this abysmal habit of exaggerating every damn problem and making a mountain out of mole hill. Acceptance of problem is the toughest part and somehow the only way to deal with the things. Depression can be fatal. So we need to be real and confident.

No confidence

Lack of confidence is another challenge faced. Confident is the favorite word of wise men and it is something that oozes out of ourselves and one doesn't need to fake it. Instead it takes time and gets better with practice. Surely you'll make mistakes. But that's how things go. You don't learn until you fail.

No ambition

Being without ambition is another grave issue. Today's generation is into this awful drama of being ambition less and act cool. But let me tell you that our ambitions define us, define who we are. And ambition can he anything that tires you, that drives your willpower. And you can be ambitious by believing in yourself and accepting failures and then pushing through them.

Materialism

Materialism is present in every damn society and we live in a place promoting it.A lot of us suffer from this disease. Young generation is no different and this somehow hurdles their growth in various dimensions of life. They believe that owning things is the necessary goal of life but they sideline a number of goals they can achieve. No doubt we all need money but money is not all that we need.

But the problem with us is that we seldom choose the right path. The truth is that we'll always have admirers as well as haters. Even Adolf Hitler had both. It's your life. So break the chains, stop thinking about other's judgments and comments and start living for your own sake. While you're at it, you'll surely meet wonderful and beautiful people who'll captivate you forever.
