choices. You will notice that we do not suggest that these
choices were wrong. All choices are the right ones for the
time and the awareness they were made in, it is only the

responsibility of all adults to honour their responsibilities to
the emerging adults. One doesn’t confer responsibility upon a
junior without informing them of the facts of responsibility
and all that it entails. Again we would like to draw your
attention to the matter of education and differentiate between
the state education and the education one receives from ones

state then the young humans become conditioned as
dependent beings with expectations of the state to provide
their every need. When, in the eyes of the dependent, the state
does not provide as it is expected to do, the dependent
becomes disenchanted with the leadership for not keeping to
its promises regarding its provision towards the welfare of
those whom it educated into this dependency. This is why
there is despondency amongst so many. The system is
