Being young in modern
South Africa.
By DENGA RADZILANI
I believe being born in a free country was most of the greatest thing
.Life is easy and everything is possible .We live in a country with lot of
opportunities .In South African we can achieve anything ,whether we have money
or not as long as we work hard there is free education. Public schools are free
and they are many bursaries out there that fund tertiary institutions for all
kind of student. I sometimes find it hard to understand why some people don’t
further their studies and money shouldn’t be the issue.
We live in a free country where every child has a right to education.
There is no longer corporal punishment in school. We are the once who decide
what subject do we want to do. Everyone is free to do any career as long as you
qualify in that institution. Gone are those racist days. Technology has changed
my life in a different ways. It also has a powerful influence in my daily life
.I have access in internet and social media. Without my cellphone life is
meaningless because is my source of communication. Technology is changing the
way i see thing everyday and without it life will never be easy.
The life of today need people who are informed in everything that is
happening around the world .I find it easy because i get online read newspapers
and other sources of information. Even though people think technology is
corrupting our minds. It not easy to be a young because some of the things we
do our elders don't understand forgetting that things are changing. We come
across so many challenges when we are growing. We end up doing things that we
regret later but the pressure from friends makes us do such. Am living in a
country where they are high rate of teenage pregnancy, drug and alcohol abuse. Our
parents are traditional people and they don’t give us support, guide and
motivate us but still they want us to overcome those challenges.
Life is not easy if you don’t have money. Poverty is what we are facing
everyday. Many of our parents didn’t get a change to go to school back then and
they can’t provide our needs. Many can’t cope with the situation and they end
up in hands of sugar-daddy. The leaders of tomorrow are destroying their future
because of poverty. We are born free generation with rights but we don’t know
our responsibilities. The rights we claim we know but still we are abusing them
.We think we know all because we were born in democracy which is not true. We
no longer have respected for other people even our selves.
South Africa is one of the best countries I know. Even though they are
many challenges we are facing as youth of today but still we are living in a
free country with possibilities to us as leaders of tomorrow.
