What is Youth ?Time of life Between Childhood & Adulthood.

Integration in Society as responsible citizen.

Our Focus:

Not a time of life but a state of Mind, a temper of will, a quality of imagination,a predominance of courage over timidity of the appetite for adventure over the life of ease.

Scientific definition of youthRichard M. Lerner (2005) cited Petersen (1988); Who describes “youth as adolescence in biological term and describes it 2nd phase of life which involves biological, cognitive, psychological and social changes.”

•Period of storm & Stress

•Phase of Mental & Physical development.

Continuation..• Job :-Youth unemployment in India is on rise. According to the World Development Report 2013, 9% of males and 11% females aged between 15 to 24 years are unemployed. Global financial crisis hit youth first then adult. Young graduates suffer the most as far as getting job is concerned.

• Violence in SchoolsA child’s education is the foundation from which he or she will be able to go forth out into the world and build a life. Schools play a major role in this endeavour. In many instances, especially in low income, urban settings, schools can be a war zone. Considering the last decade data 284 kids were murdered due to school violence –these were shootings, stabbings, fighting and suicides.

• Teenage pregnancy :-In developed countries, teenage pregnancies are often associated with social issues, including lower educational levels, higher rates of poverty, and other poorer life outcomes in children of teenage mothers.

• Gambling:-Gambling problems in adolescents have often gone unnoticed as they are difficult to measure and observe. Most adolescents report having gambled for money, the lure of excitement, entertainment and financial freedom accompanying gambling is particularly attractive to youth.

• Single Parent HouseholdsToday, 14 million single parents are responsible for 28 million children. Economically, a single parent is likely to bring less income home. This equates to fewer opportunities for education. By the Absence of a parent’s guidance, children become subject to higher dropout rates, higher risk of dangerous sexual behaviours and pregnancies, higher chances of drug and alcohol abuse –etc.
