Stop the Grinch from Taking the Youths Future

We often sing the famous song by the late Whitney Houston“ I believe the children are our future, teach them well and let them lead the way” and it is a song I have sang for many years even to my own kids. However, I have come to one conclusion. The Grinch has stolen the future of our kids. Who is Grinch?

The grinch is us the adults, the people who should be clearing a path for our youths to see ahead, guiding them and most importantly leading by example.

We cannot say we believe the children are our future when we are not creating a future for them to live in ...simple...We make it hard for them to even help themselves aspire and achieve simple goals. We implement unrealistic community programs that will not yield much success, one or two will get a job or a scholarship but what happens to the majority? We give them a "cerfiticate" (certificate) and tell them job well done, the cameras roll in take pictures and when all is done they go back to sitting on the corner and "HUSTLE" certificate on their dressers growing dust.  

If we do not sort out our youths right away we are doomed. They are giving up and are fighting to gurantee a good solid future. It is hard for them to further their education because it is too expensive, it is hard for them to utilized simple skills to get employment. We need more sporting programs to help the ones who are not academically inclined and more assistance for those who need to acquire tertiary education and for those who have battled to get a degree they need a job. sitting at home is no longer acceptable, they are tired of fighting a society who obviously did not prepare to meet their needs so hear their cry.

The business of the youths is urgent and if we do not address it immediately I fear to grow old in my own country when these youths become adults.. Let us stop cheating the children and give them the future they deserve.
