Drive Moment - As A Young Person, Do You Ever Feel Misunderstood By Older Generations?

Loading player...
Every year around youth month, the spotlight is on young people in South Africa. These are teenagers, young adults, and those who are under the age of 35. The media, academics, politicians, parents, and elders, speak loudly about their assumptions on youth issues. However, does Youth Month sometimes miss its purpose when older generations assert themselves as primary experts on youth issues?

What are their hopes, dreams, likes and dislikes, and their potential to change the future of the nation, according to them? Take a listen to what the Drive 959 family had to say on this.
