I am a Youth. I long for our country's change. But what should I do to help our nation? Is it possible if I will do it alone? Today's youth are often characterized as being aware, assertive and aggressive. These characteristics come in handy when you and other young people take on your different roles in society. To us (the youth), what are our roles in society? Can you share me something that I could share to my fellow youth, that they could share to their fellow youth which could help us to become an effective agents of change?

I am a youth too.. And in our simple way, we do things that can be helpful..
Like throwing the garbage to the trash cans, to help our elderly and even to be a role model to those younger people in the society.. I know it might be just a little gesture but it can really help a lot.. :)

You are absolutely right chymez. A simple way could help a lot for the improvement of our environment. We've been practicing that since a long time ago but other people still do not know and do not care about disposing waste properly.

yeah.. it must be because they don't know that even small things matter... Just a simple waste can really cause pollution.. I don't know why even if knowing this, people still continue being careless in using what mother nature has given to us...

that i do not know too.. maybe because they are thinking that the world is not their property and it will never be.. they don't care about the future of their generations.. and they have forgetton already that we are just stewards of God's creation.

I think that young people get given a bad name in the modern world because of the actions of just a few people. The majority of young people are nice, and I know that when I was a youth I did a lot to help other people. I was always involved in volunteering and things like that at school, and I was proud of the fact that I took the time to do this when I didn't have to. I think that our role in society is to help those who have made society great for us, as we have a lot to thank them for. So the next time you see an elderly person struggle with a shopping bag; offer to help them! It will be rewarding for you, and helpful to them.

Well, you young, you young. Ok, ok, I must say that the youth, I went too. Of course I have noticed one thing, without reference, that the youth of today have ways to do a little abrupt and aggressive. This also gives you what you have said yourself. It is certainly possible, however, you do in giving young people a better future. If it will, I am sure that these young people would behave better. The possibility exists that you just have those responsibilities., Works best for a better future for all.

A youth?
If you believe you can make the difference you will.
Remember: you are just a small piece of the chain, every action you undertake/step you take will effect someone.. it's action and reaction.
Perhaps you won't notice it but someone else will.. so yes.. even a single person is changing the world, no matter if other people notice it or not, no matter if you are young or old.

Youth's responsibility for change. If we changed to right person then everything around us will become right.
1)be honest in all your work don't cheat any people
2)help others without considering any gain from them
3)try to advise the people those who are doing wrong things.
4)if any person asks you the bribe amount don't give it. try to stop that things by giving complaint to respective corruption officer.
5)if you find any accidents on road, just postpone your silly personal work and give first aid to the injured people. because nowadays all people only worry for their personal work not worry for other's life.
do these things then people around you will be inspired by you and they will change... gradually the entire society will change.
