Young people who have no future will easily give up their future, which they can't see on the horizon.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Something has to change in the world. Without change, young people will have no future.
The young have aspirations that never come to pass, the old have reminiscences of what never happened.
No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.
At Year Up, our students - low income 18-24 year olds - come to us having already faced substantial obstacles in life. They are not in search of a handout; what they want most of all is the ability to take ownership of their own futures.
One shouldn't know the future.
It is inevitable that many ideas of the young mind will later have to give way to the hard realities of life.
I suspect that young adults crave stories of broken futures because they themselves are uneasily aware that their world is falling apart.
If you do not think about your future, you cannot have one.
Young people think that nothing bad will ever happen to them.
Any kid that feels like they don't have any kind of future, whether they're on a street corner in Harlem or in a little town in Kansas where nothing happens, it's all out there for them. They can do whatever they dream or wish or see on television, or read about in the papers.
