NOT YET DONE

Have you wondered why sometimes you plan things and they don’t turn out the way you expect? Have you ever thought why they don’t turn out according to your expectations or you just shrug off? Have you sought any help from any other person deemed fit to help you? Well sometimes in this life we tend to believe that we are able to do many things by our own without inquiring for help from our seniors, this is well known as narcissism and it’s so evident among many youth of this generation. The ignorance of not wanting to be informed at all ("generation we know it all").

Most of the youth in the current society tend to divert from the common societal norms and have introduced their own style of living. A young boy or girl of this generation minds less about the importance of family name in the society which is accorded high respect depending on the origin of the name but to them they are after fame...this which they want to attain using the dirtiest ways not caring on how it will impact to themselves later on.

They tend to act so cocky around people them, especially the old whom they feel are so analogue to understand the current era...termed as the digital era where there has been a complete transition of thing from the past. They are trying to find their place in the world, they are trying to curve out their own identity and this can be difficult.

So, the older generation should chip in and stop painting the youth in a negative light but try to be positive with them, this may help not perpetuate stereotypes. They ought to be handled in a rather more technical way where they can understand that narcissism is not a peradventure to get it done...because it’s not yet done!

THE MOST VULNERABLE IN UNIVERSITIES

It's always a pleasure whenever you are admitted to campus as it's a beginning of a better future.However those who have gone through the  system will let you know there is more to University life than the known positive idea of getting knowledge , skills and a better job.Many people join campus having hopes that the place will prepare them for their future careers. And during their first semester you will hear them talking about their careers and definition of a brighter future.

Other than education, weekend dinners and night outs ought to be essential necessities for some of the students. University also comes with the pressure of fitting in a certain social class so as not to be considered "a village idiot". Hence, majority of the students rather than focusing on their careers, they are busy perfecting their social life to impress the community unaware of the later outcomes.

The female counterparts are the most vulnerable species in such an environment. Unknown to them, their emotional and physical states are the most endangered. Physically they are prone sexual abuses with the worst being victims of rape cases. Emotionally they aren't spared either especially when it comes to matters of the heart. This comes with the complicated love triangle where every lady in campus is dating but at the same time every guy in campus is single. The outcome to this, are heartbreaks which might in turn lead to suicide cases.

For ladies, each academic year brings self discovery ideas that lead them to engage in new crazy things and they are always ready to test the experience. The outcomes for these are a series of life threatening abortions, heartbreaks and constant drop down in academics. For instance, hitting the gym for physical fitness and wearing of heavy make-up to enhance their beauty, so as to become attractive for the opposite gender, are some of the self discovery ideas for majority of the campus females.

Beauty, they say is a gift from God but to most beautiful young ladies in campuses, it's some sort of a curse which they heavily get punished for. This comes with the situations where they are forced to pay for their good grades using their bodies. Some of their lectures who are supposed to be there gardians and protectors in such an environment, turn out to be there most dreadful nightmares. In order to satisfy there lustrous bodily pleasures, they take advantage of this young ladies, by blackmailing and threatening to fail them in examinations. Most of these shameless lecturers are even old enough to be this girls' fathers.
It's always heartbreaking and a pity to realize that after graduation, most of the ladies are already wasted hence ready to settle with anyone who accepts them for marriage. What pains the most is to realize that most of these ladies are already infected with life threatening diseases hence the acquired education will nolonger be beneficial to them.

It's high time the community and the education sector join forces and fomulate measures to cushion the girl-child in higher learning institutions.
