Not everyone has an access to good education so schools should also have a guiding and counselling about equality g so as to avoid drop out from youth .

DRUG USE

Since youth think they are old enough to do everything they usually end up using drugs such as marijuana to make them have the courage to overcome their fear.This develops addiction these substances.Teen should be able to have a conversation about what they are experiencing so as to get some help.
