Report

Young people's attitudes towards growing up 

Introduction

The principal aim of this report is to demonstrate young people's attitudes towards aging around the world. 

Current Situation

To begin with, I visited two schools in my neighbourhood and I interviewed  more than fifty students of the institutions. I asked them some questions about aging. However, what I most cared to know was how they feel towards older people and the prospect of growing old themselves.

Results

Nearly three quarters of the students, did not have their future plan, they did not know what to study at university or what job they would like to take on. A few minutes later, they confessed to me that they are afraid of growing up and become an adult with lots of responsabilities. In addition, students informed me that older people in the community are extremely important for them as they are their role model. 

Recommendations

Taking all the factors mentioned, I would like to help students not to be afraid of growing up, by giving some recommendations:

• Students should take a pen and a piece of paper and write how they want their future to be like. (career, having a partner or not, kids)
• Students could have a conversations with older people about this problem, they are suffering, as they might have suffered the same problem.
• Students should talk with their families and friends to have support with this problem. 

To conclude, I would like to recommend children not to be afraid of becoming older, as each stage is beautiful in life.
