Swami Vivekananda & Youth.

Why there is a steady increase in Youth distress, when the period is (developmental) not inherently characterized by “storm and stress?” Youth is a period of transformation, not going into depression mode. So what’s the problem—and what can we do about it?

Development is the most important task of youth phase by creating self-Identity. Identity is how you walk in the world. It’s a sense of knowing who you are, what you believe, where you fit, and where you’re going. It includes being at home in your body, having personal agency, and feeling sameness through time, all of which contribute to a general sense of well-being. Finding a healthy identity is the central task of Youth especially that of the adolescent.

Today’s Youth especially adolescents struggle with their identity and with the core questions that invite them to answer: who am I, where My fit is (in education, career and the society in which I live), and is it the right path where I am going? According to the article Why are so many Indians stressed? Published on times of India Indiatimes website dated Feb 22, 2021, 82% of Indians are stressed out today. The rising stress levels even made India earn the title of being one of the most depressed countries in the world, some years back. Another article published by the same media dated April 24, 2023, quotes that there is a Rise of depression amongst young adults in India. As per the article of all factors associated with depression in Indian youth, one of the major factors of depression among Indian youth is the pressure to succeed academically.

SHOCKING

Isn’t it?

Here a famous quote by Mahatma Gandhi led me to

Well by any means a leading news publishing house like Times of India will not post false information, this is what I believe.

10 years back I was looking for the reliable information about Careers for my daughter & son, I was also under stress at that time. Since then the problem of stress, especially the stressed out Youth was lingering in My mind. This led me in asking myself -

If this the case, what's the way Out?

Be the Change You Want To See …,

With the thought of - Each one of us can leave a stamp on this world by making our lives meaningful in a thousand ways and making the lives of others better than they ever thought possible. I am now on the quest of 'finding out the ways to helping people especially the Youth to live a stress-free Life. Leading towards self-true welfare & supreme good and having the lasting satisfaction and happiness.

Another interesting quote from Jane Austen the 17th century novelist and writer gave me the courage to Be the Change -

"Changing our face can change nothing. But facing our change can change everything."
