Precious Life

Life is precious. It is the most precious gift we have received from our creator. You have just one life, make the best of it, expressions of this kind are often used to make one understand the significance and preciousness of life. Therefore, each and every person tries to live his life to the full here on earth. He searches for means that could help him in his adventure. But in this bargain, he makes many compromises, mistakes and he gets caught up in the web of life. He becomes slave of his own makings. He finds himself in the clutches of bondage. Hence, he asks, what is to be free? What is freedom? Therefore, this paper has led me to deal with true meaning of freedom.

Physical Development

             During adolescence physical changes take place in the human body. This process is caused by puberty. For females puberty normally begins with the menstruation and for males with the development of pubic hair.  Hormones released by the pituitary gland stimulate puberty this process is called releasing sex hormones. Young person’s sex drive is kicked off by the growth.

            Young people use public spaces just as much as anyone else, if not more. And yet, too often young people, or young adults between the ages of 12 to 25, are not included in the process of Place making and end up “loitering” in other spaces. Some communities glare upon loitering, which can create a negative image for young people and just contributes to the stigma surrounding them, especially those who are at risk. By being actively engaged in the creation of youth-friendly spaces, young people can feel like they have investment in their community and they can develop a strong sense of ownership in these places.

Adolescent Development

         We have all been through different experiences, events and influences collected through life; these make us the people we are. Experiences gain during adolescence is very major. No two young people are the same. Everyone is unique, created and valued by God. The purpose here in not to generalize the normal adolescent experience, but to help us understand the effects and implications of this development on each individual.

Need for Understanding

          To work for youth and to relate with them we must understand them in all areas, especially physically, psychologically, intellectually and spiritually. Understanding youth is very difficult. We have to evaluate them from their point of view and their perception. 

Call Today

            Young people are struggling in record numbers to find work, leave home, and start a family. Therefore Youth today has to  give heed to their problems and struggles. They have to reach out their cry to this world filed with corruption and reach people. It is the call for today’s youth to voice out and grab their goals.   

Adult Influence

            We have people who influence us in various ways. Some influence through their words some with their actions and some with their behavior. We have seen and heard about many well-known people in the world; they too were influenced by someone; which inspired them to reach their goal. Influence of others creates in us the energy to work hard to achieve our aim in life. Well known people like Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Barack Obama etc. are the leading people who have given boost to the young to achieve their aims in life. Adults play an important role in the life of a young person. They use their knowledge and skills to help guide a young person in a positive direction. Adults are concerned about the development of young people.
