Young people should be actively involved when making decision concerning them

Former Secretary-General of the United Nations Kofi Annan once said that, “no one is born a good citizen and no nation is born a democracy. Both are processes that continue to evolve over a lifetime. Young people must be included from birth. A society that cuts itself off from its youth severs its lifeline and it is condemned to bleed to death.”

I believe that young people are part of the solution to the many challenges they face, and their problems cannot be resolved by others.  Young people must be engaged effectively and actively in all decision making processes on matters affecting them.
