Nowadays, the negative perceptions, blames, insults, criticisms, accusations and complains (with no tangible or researchable meaning) about the resourceful Youth in the societies, churches and the nation becoming something else and we must critically need to look at it again and change our attitudes toward the youth. You can't keep on blaming, fighting, insulting, criticising and accusing the youth you are working with. The fact is, until we understand the concept of Youth, we will never stop blaming and accusing the youth unnecessarily, and the worse aspect is when the one blaming the Youth is also a Youth member. You cannot build the potentials and capacities of the youth until you stop blaming, accusing, insulting or fighting them.
If they are stubborn, change your attitudinal strategies in handling them and don't blame them. That's why you are a leader. Good Youth leaders have different strategies and skills in handling different categories of youth and issues. The last thing every good leader should do is to report his Youth members or keep on blaming the youth.

I once had an encountered with a young ordained Elder at age twenty-three, complaining bitterly that, the youth in his local assembly are disrespectful, disobedience, stubborn, arrogant and saying all sorts things. I asked him, "Please, Elder, are you not a Youth, so why are you generalizing and not being specific on individuals? "Do you see me to be a Youth member, or don't you know that, I am an Elder?" he replied me. In this case, Elders are not Youth Members per his definition while those he tagged to be disrespectful, disobedience, and stubborn are older than him.

If in the church or society today, we think the youth are only the members in church or non-officers, the poor, singles, those with no position and those not working among others then our definition is totally wrong.
That's is a very true say the future always depend on the youth. Thanks for such a powerful message
