Have you ever heard of the 3R's? It's an acronym for Rights, Respect and Responsibility. It's a global thing and should be a local thing. Young people at different levels both local and international are standing up to their responsibilities. They are reaching out to other young people and letting their government know they are initiators of global change, letting their government know that they are part of nation building, letting them know that they have a right and their government is responsible to them. It's a global thing!
Talk is cheap but we've gone beyond that! We already are making waves. We've had several meetings with Policy makers at the International level to make our voices heard, not only to get their commitments but also to share our own experiences. We could have been in the comfort of our homes watching Hollywood channel but we understand what is at stake; the future is.
It's Time for you and I to arise and amplify our voices in the matters affecting young people. Being a Youth is good but I like to be identified as a leader because; the fact that I'm taking responsibility makes me stands out. Youthfulness is a mentality of delayed responsibility and that's why we need to take responsibility; only leaders take responsibility.
Imagine what changes you could influence in your world if you will open your eyes to the needs of young people around you and do something about their challenges. Say something, give something, do something. You might think you are not infected or you are not a victim but the truth is you are at risk. In a nut shell, the world needs you. The world needs you to reach out and impact the world around you. Let's stand and fight for our rights.
