A youth is any person between the age of 15 years and 30 years regardless of the gender. Unfortunately, the youth are the backbone of a society and hence they determine the future of any given society. This is because all other age groups, the kids, teenagers, middle aged and the senior citizens rely on the youth and expect a lot from them. This makes the youth to be an important age group in both today's society and the future society than other age groups.Therefore, due to the high dependence on youth in the society, we the youth have a role to play because the future of our families, communities and the country lies in our hands.

The role of the youth is simply to renew, refresh and maintain. Youth have a role to renew and refresh the current status of our society including leadership, innovations, skills etc. Youth are expected to advance the current technology, education, politics, peace of the country. On the other hand, youths have also to maintain the culture of our culture, all good values in the societies, development projects, etc.

First of all, kids and teenagers need to be advised, taught and encouraged by the youth. Youth also have to be a good example to the young generation. The youth have to teach both the teenagers and kids all aspects of general life, show them the way so that they grow up the right and the wrong. Youths have to advise and encourage teenagers and help them to solve social, educational, psychological, emotional and various problems the teenagers encounter in life. Youth have the role of teaching teenagers and the young generation what teachers and parents don't.

Secondly, as the middle aged and the senior citizens grow older, many employment posts remain vacant. This vacant positions have to

be filled by non other than the youth. This will enhance economic well-being as well as the social life of the citizens the serve. Youths have to bring in new innovations, new skills in the job industry for more productivity at a lower cost because they will do away with old technology or they will invent new ways of doing a certain job. In doing so the country will develop in terms of industrialization and both her economic and social well-being.

For any country to succeed, it needs educated, well informed and responsible leaders. For your information, the best leaders are the youths. The youth have to correct the mistakes and shortcomings of the previous leaders and completely change the outlook of that particular society. Youth have to do away with vices like corruption, self centered and greed in leadership so as the citizens realize development, gender equity and equal allocation of resources. Youths also have to maintain virtues set by other leaders, help the society or country to achieve her visions in future.

The youth, after some time they are expected to be the next parents. This is to continue with recreation. The youths are expected to start and maintain their own families as their parents did. Intermarriages between the youth will bring sharing of ethnic cultures and hence this will improve peace within communities and hence overall peace for the whole country. Sharing of different cultures all over the country will bring national peace and social well-being of every citizen.

Nothing comes onto a silver platter. All I mean is that nothing will happen if the youths don't work to accomplish their role. Education is the most important. For one to gain skills, innovations and knowledge you must study to fit in this society. So apart from the above roles of the youth, youths also have a role to study since it is the key to success and development. Youth also have to seek information from the middle aged and the senior citizen groups concerned with various disciplines to ensure that the youth achieve their role for the society in future.

Since the youth hold the important part of our society's future, they need to be educated, guided, encouraged, advised, taught and shown the way to go so as to make sure that we achieve our dreams and visions. We should not our culture as a society fade away thus our elders have to teach us what is to be done and what not to be done. So it is everyone's duty especially the middle aged and the senior citizens to guide as because the future of our society lies in our hands.

This is a wake up call for all the youths, the time is now, our future is in our hands. Let us arise and work towards our future.
