The young are precariously hanging on a social cliff. In our age youths have become synonymous with immorality, drug abuse, radicalisation and obsession with sophistication and partying. To ensure they remain in sync with emerging fashion trends, the young have thrown themselves headlong into betting and crime. Consequently, the society is disturbed and has never rested in the search for the cause of the insanity that has gripped young people.
Apart from unemployment and inadequate recreation facilities, the problem has also been attributed to young people’s abhorrence of reading. In fact, today’s youths would rather spend all their days reading social media updates on their smart phones and computers than sit down with a voluminous novel.
