Any one can apprehend this truth if he/she look s at our presence society. It is not a denying fact that our youth generation is passing a frustrating time. They are getting deeply involved day by day in more and more various social crimes, with incidents of destroying the environment, drug abuse, high school drop-out, a myriad of other problems and involved in indiscipline at schools, colleges, universities, homes, and the wider society. Why this is the situation? We should not blame our youth generation for these misdeeds, we should also solder the bu r den of it. As a whole nation certainly we have failed collectively to provide them the proper education, training and a good working environment for them. We also have failed to create job opportunities for our youth as a whole. Those youths fail to get a job, are being involved increasingly different kind or criminal activity.
