Read this small newspaper clipping and then write a blog post about it. What are your thoughts? How does it make you feel? Do you agree? Disagree? Explain yourself.
The world does not owe anybody anything. Every material possession in the world is obtained through work not play. But youths do not possess many material possessions because they are in a period of learning and growth. The difficulties of youth are offset by the many fun activities youth participate in. Although i agree that there are many things that teenagers may engage in, but I do not agree that the youth owe the world their time, energy, talent until after they have fully developed and grown. Someday does not necessarily mean today. There will be a time and a place for every teenager to become a responsible living active human being, but someday is a general term that should not signify now. Somebody can be anybody. Each and every youth will have a day when they are ready to step up and take responsibility. This responsibility can not be forced upon them without resistance which is why you must wait for them to make the decision to become responsible. If it is forced upon them, whose decision would it be to make them responsible. It is not possible to force someone to be responsible, they must make that decision on their own because they feel that they are ready to become responsible.
