The last day of working and school day of the week always brings excitement to people. To some it marks a time to unwind and relax. To others a time to spend with family. but amongst my fellow youths, it marks a time to party and go clubbing. Which includes DRINKING and DRUGS. Then a question crosses my mind: When did binge drinking become so popular in our generation? This is an issue faced by many countries. Alcohol has become the main source for fun in our youth these days. Social gatherings are now considered boring without booze. I believe all this is a result of popular culture. At this day and age, people idolise what they see in movies, T.V, celebrities and reality shows. All these mediums seem to be the benchmark of what's in and whats not. At the moment being out of yur sanity seems to be popular. In every tabloid magazines there are reports of Hollywood celebrities being jailed for D.U.I(driving under the influence). The most controvasial being Paris Hilton's case last year. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying people are imitating this, but influencial people like her have a bit of an impact.
Binge drinking results in impared judgement, thus leading to sleeping around, reckless driving and complicated health hazards. All these blemishing and tarnishing our future.
A CHANGE MUST COME

so the phrase "Ziyaw mo!" has become popular, replacing another popular phrase "amandla" the youth have nothing to strive for, unlike our predecessors we are oblivious to our surroundings and looking to what we think are our "futures" forgetting our past. There is a thin line between having fun and being the fun most of us want to be the fun........it all boils down to personal choice, aspirations and convictions........you are what you think towards, a wise man once said.......so where is the youth of today going?
