One often wonders as to why certain section of youth behave the way they do, and why their immense potential never gets harnessed properly. There is nothing to blame the youth for this state of affairs. It is the environment that prevails around and no tangible efforts are made or rather avoided by the people concerned. Number of young people are in a constant state of confusion or in a dilemma as what to do and what not to do and either they give in to parental pressure or at best to the peer pressure mostly to the latter. Very few are aware of their own inner aptitude and end up in totally alien areas.
