Do today's youth really know what they're doing?

Question

You always hear: The youth are our future leaders, the youth are this, the youth are our only hope.. it's all for the children. But looking at today's youngsters, do you really think that have a clue? Do they have any more of a clue than our older population had when they were young?

Answer 1

not as much of a clue...people learn thru experiences and the youth today are so sheltered that they hardly have any...i mean, talk to any kid even high school aged to point out iraq on a map...most kids i know (in their mid to late 20's) haven't even taken a sobering look at themselves.

Answer 2

Yes they are much aware, more intelligent and have great imagination power. But there is always two side of coin. If there is development in good side than in negative side too they are improving a lot.

Answer 3

We sure do, just like every other generation, we have our fair share of idiots and lost causes etc. But we do know what we are doing. We arn't as dumb as many from OTHER generations think we are.

Answer 4

Did you have a clue when you were their age?  Young people only have a certain amount of wisdom to draw from, so no, they can't possibly know all the answers.  How 'bout some of more experienced ones stepping up to help them find their way?

Answer 5

They are better and they know exactly, what they are doing and what has to be done.

Answer 6

nope

Answer 7

very few know what they are doing.the elders have to take the blame to a great extent.

Answer 8

they r striving for freedom...its good but they r not getting it boldly they r deceiving people to get it which is wrong this will make our youth more coward and self centered.....thts wat i think

Answer 9

Well I think they have an idea, they just don't do much about it. But that'll change when they become adults-for some kids anyways.

Answer 10

No. The youth, who have been being dumbed down since the television was invented, are not prepared to handle the future. We will be left to clean up the mess the generation before ours made, but we will be incapable. The outlook of most of my peers is one of general complacency and ignorance to politics, and this whole "Somebody-else-will-deal-with-it" mentality is the reason we will fail.

Answer 12

I think history will continue to repeat itself unless we get them educated. The youth will just have it easy for themselves and there will be no real world to go into because everyone will be on their computers.
