There are so many things that bring youths
today into ruin and destruction. But let me put them under
these 4 major categories:

1. Materialism
The craze and lust for physical material things keeps pushing
many young folks into self destruction. This is finding expression via gambling, prostitution, stealing, ritualism, scamming, etc. They want to flaunt the latest phones and gadgets, flashy cars,clothes, and so on. Contentment is no longer in the dictionary of many, and this is dangerous. Hence, they are ready to do just anything to acquire material stuff to show off and impress and feel among.

2. Immorality
Many young people are slaves to sex, masturbation,
pornography, and so on. Their strength is wasted on the evil
pleasures of immorality, and they keep entangling themselves deeper into terrible addictions. It’s so bad.

3. Pride
Honor and respect is now far from many of them, as they are
filled with pride, regarding themselves far beyond what they
truly are. They talk anyhow to those ahead of them (see what’s happening on social media), and aren’t truly submissive to elders anymore (even to their own parents). An implication of this is that they ended up experiencing avoidable sufferings. First,those ahead of them who should have helped draw them up easily, are now avoiding them (no elderly person want to be dishonored by these kids). Secondly, they disobey the divine command of honoring the elderly, so our days may be long on earth. You see why many young people are dying
today?

4. Ignorance
Foolishness abides in the heart of many young people today. They don’t know wisdom, and they keep rejecting the way of wisdom.Funnily, they are regarding themselves wise in their own eyes. The things they post on social media for instance, keeps exposing their ignorance and foolishness, and you just feel sorry for them. Try to engage many in meaningful conversations, and you will be shocked at their level of ignorance. They are ignorant of the ways of life.
