Youth and survival

 We are amongst the few countries where the government does totally nothing when it comes to investing on the youths who are our future leaders. One will toil for three to four years in campus with the hope of being great in the future,only to come out to the hush world being slapped with reality .We live in a country where education is not the key to success but connections are,we've reached a point where we cannot strive for excellence you buy your way to it.   It is high time for the Kenyan youth to ponder wisely in all the angles of our country's economic growth.Youths  play  a vital role in making positive changes in the society since they are the  backbone and pillars in building democratic successes with their unity, power, struggle and influence.

toxic relationships among campus students

The negative impact of dating includes prevalence of dating violence, sexual implications and high level of disrespect among students.

Consequences of youth substance abuse

  Consequences of youth substance abuse  Young people who persistently abuse substances often experience an array of problems, including academic difficulties, health-related problems (including mental health), poor peer relationships, and involvement with the juvenile justice system.
