Consultant for media and heritage Dr. Mahmood ul Hassan Mughal said that in the current situation, most of the youth are suffering from many problems, and the youth have changed many positive traditions. They have increased their needs and desires, and have made themselves a victim of isolation, therefore, the youth should discuss their problems in their good circle of friends.
Prof. Dr. Muhammad Ismail Kumbhar said that the youth get confused in education expenses, career and family matters. “To provide them an environment of relaxation and sense of security, parents and educational institutions have to play a significant role, while the youth themselves have to adopt an attitude of tolerance.”
