What was the life of young people in Bulgaria_in the last 20th century - Bulgaria

What was the life of young people in Bulgaria in the last 20th century and what changes came since then in our country? To this question a very simple answer cannot find.

Each generation will give an objective assessment of taking into account the socio-political conditions. For example, educated young people who were living under socialism struggle for a society without drugs, aggression, brutality and murders.

Nowadays, the younger generation thinks differently in accordance with the democratic changes. Are they right? History will show ...

The political events set the growth of the young people. During the years of the wars they suffered privation, misery or fear. Some small schools didn’t permit for young people to learn and develop fully. After the system change from capitalism to socialism there have been appeared the need to have more qualified personnel and education. Many schools and universities were built. Youth people had a great opportunity for training and good qualification. The scientific and technological progress had begun to enter into the life of people. Drugs, aggression and violence had been still unknown words for the younger generation. There was good discipline and a set of rules.

In recent years the democratic changes give young people an opportunity to begin learning foreign languages and computers.

I think that moral values that have been constructed for centuries decline and decay now. Unfortunately, aggression and brutality are part of the young generation’s life. Instead of reading, kids spend a lot of time for chatting each other.Who’s fault is it?

Nevertheless, the 21 st century offers great opportunities for young people to travel and study for their education and professional development. Teenagers have greater freedom of action. Most of all teenagers have enough free time, but don’t spend it very well. They just prefer to listen to music, go out with friends or surf the Internet. The question is what actions and approach should be taken by all responsible ‘stakeholders’ - parents, teachers, institutions, for teenagers positived development.

The chance that has been given us, to live in peace and understanding should be used properly and wisely.
