Perhaps young are most full of anxiety …

Because we underinvested in the services we deliver to them. As professional in the field of Pastoral care to Young people. Clarify here 11- 19 but extend to 21. Do not feel we have given them fare resources. Issue that's got historical under investment from the mid 70's.

Older folk been deprived in lot
Of ways that are similar.
But let's stick with the youth. They have got long journeys ahead for them. We need to focus on our understanding about how they have been affected by three very major issues in the last decade. Almost unapparelled in my own experience. 
First was Austerity.
Second Brexit uncomfortable for all.
COVID pandemic. Stuff issues and considerable distressing experiences 
What a phelafroa of disturbances. Large impacts.
Individuals are fearful not wrestled with everything that's still happening. How are we changed by these 
Lack of economic growth and poverty has increased. Less for young people to have in Pockets. Many parents all households have to cope with less.
Communities are more isolated and divided.
Society on macro scale is damaged no longer recognisable to what existed a decade ago .
Political parties are not addressing the issues they face.

How can we engage with them?
How do we give young people a good listening too?.
What tables are they excluded from.? 
how did that come about? 

Questions being posed that carry weight To be young today can be a nightmare. It's so true. 
Let's have some dialogue. 
Lets have some compassion, lets engage and walk them onto a brighter different future.

Is it bloody marvellous.

With their white ankle boots fur lined with white ribbons. Wearing those jumpers only wear at Christmas. Silly thrilly spangly flashy tops. ...

MAYBE WE WON`T MEET AGAIN

. . . she got a postcard in the mail
That just said Heaven,with a picture of the ocean and the beach
The simple words he wrote her
Said he loved her
How he'd hold her if his arms would reach
Wish you were here, wish you could see this place
Wish you were near,Wish I could touch your face
The weather's nice, it's paradise
It's summertime all year and there's some folks we know
They say, "Hello, "
I miss you so, wish you were here"
