Coming to the end of study period is a relief on one hand but is a stressful moment on the other.One looking at the young people in studies cannot help noticing the dynamism and the great potential in them.They are such a promise.As the young person proceeds to the end of the studies she feel that people out there are waiting for him or her but the opposite happens.

Some notable experiences after school.

-Life is somehow starting and one wonders why she had to complete studies too soon.

-Much support when in school from parents or guardians is abruptly cut off.Normally,pocket for people out of school is a mismatch.

-One is considered not as a dependent but provider and this is communicated indirectly or directly.Some young people faced with implied or imposed responsibility to care for the families develop some escape mechanisms.

-There is a considerable drop in self image and this sets an arena for some other dangers in terms of destructive behavior and so on.This especially so when a young person lacks an emotional or other needed support.Life after school in our present socio-economic status can be such a stress.

Here are some considered suggestions and views young people in such situations can do:

-Invest not in self pity:One new destructive attitude to life is self pity.If the situation is bad it is so for so many others.The situation may be bad but you are not bad,you still matter even without a job but the job does not matter without you.Some young people lose heart once their applications are not replied to or they are sent letters of regret.You do not know where your chance is.Go and drop your applications in person and seek to know more about the company's or business working.Be ready to take up any available opportunity. If you have been

trying some little business do not lose heart.Try a different tactic.

-Try and keep trying.

-Interact with people and share,knowledge exists among the people.In a situation like this one,one requires to be open to more information from those around.Where possible do not just stay.Do something.Even without the chance of employment one can actually engage in voluntary work.It can teach you to be more productive.For instance,helping in an old people's home or an orphanage may be an opportunity to develop yourself and your social and management skills.Join other school leavers who have formed a group.Attend interviews or briefing sessions.If you do not get a job you will at least discover that you are not alone.You may also gain some useful information.

-Face the reality:Accept that you need a kind of occupation and realize that all school leavers cannot fit in the offices available so be innovative.Please know that there are countless possibilities in life.If one thing does not work another will.
