"Forget Youth" - UN General Assembly Hearings outcome!
"!Forget Youth!" UN General Assmbly Hearings
It was definitely fun to participate in the well orchestred UN General Assembly "Informal" Interactive Hearings with NGOs. The event is over and now I think It's time to acknowledge that it deliberately failed to give youth "a chance". We are still treated as objects rather than agents of reform.

What is even worse is that UN has completely ignored problems of the region that I represent - Eastern Europe the talk is "Africa .. Africa, Africa" all the time.

Africa is indeed the continent where UN negligence is the most obvious, but! isn't it due to the UN's manner to forget certain issues and over-concentrate on others that has brough Africa to its present measerable condition?

I am pretty much sure that UN won't be able to help out Africa while forgetting about South America, Asia and Eastern Europe.

What's good about the Hearings is that thanks to the event I have come to embrace once and for all that relevant resources will never be given to the youth of the world - it's only through our campaigning and amok-like fighting that we'll be able to change the world for the better. UN is not a reliable partner in this undertaking.

We are not taken into consideration because UN just like the governments of the world is not ready to acknowledge that Youth Participation is a fact, we are conscious of the present day condition of the World far better than the "adult generation" claims to be. We are indeed people of new breed - a responsible, conscious, global generation. Dear Friends! it is time Governments and International bodies started to learn from us and not vice versa. I am sure that we will teach them a lesson!

Time to be frank with ourselves - the only youth voice the governments are willing to hear is the voice of violence. Marginalized.. - that is not what we really are! but for the world powers it is the most convenient mode of thinking about youth.

THis ignorant approach allows governments to escape the necessity to acknowledge their own canibalistic (because of its consequences) ignorance and inadequacy.
