Miskin Posted February 20, 2004 The future of any society lies in the hands of its up coming generations. As a Somali man who lives in the west, I am stunned by the instability of our young generation. It is utterly disappointing to see so many young drug addicts, rude boys and girls who do nothing with their lives. It makes wonder, where does the future lie. Majority of our older generation are either warlords or tribes men. Our own generation (that is you and me are not any better) and our younger generation is completely lost. So is there a future?? Just an opinion. Miskin Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

khadar01 Posted February 26, 2004 Thank you Miskin for a wonderful topic, it's topics like this that make me love SOL.it's very sad to see some of our youth doing drugs, not only destroying their life, but in the process hurting the ones that love them.it's also very sad to see somalis that aren't doing drugs, not doing anything with their lives, considering our background.i guess they forgot that somalia is one of the poorest countries in the world if not the poorest, and illiteracy rate is very high.all the more reasons to strive to succeed when you have this opportunity.however there's hope, there's new generation that is doing something with their lives, that's either working,going to school or raising kids.when you see a confused somali youth, please make freinds with them and give advice, you may make a diffrence. once again nice topic.

Mowgli Posted February 26, 2004 Asalaama Alaikum I've spent the past two years asking myself that very question...especially when I saw kids as young as 14 eating jaad and arguing about qabiil...countless of times I have shaken my head in dismay at college when I saw the amount of hate/contempt they had for ppl from other tribes was unbelievable But as the others have mentioned there are a lot of success stories too and in the mean time all we can do is pray to Allah swt to guide our lost brothers/sisters and restore our homeland to the glory it once had...
