Youth in Germany
What is it like, to be young in Germany today? Many kids and young adults seem to be without any perspective for their future. They are disillusioned and frustrated. But is it really that bad? I don't think so. Of course, in some cases things are worse and therefore I am going to have a look on some general problems of our generation in this essay. It may be that I am not always able to hide my very personal view of being young in Germany, but as I am a part of this generation it might be all right. To start off with a topic, adolescents of all generations and countries are confronted with I am going to talk of kids and their place in society. When kids are in puberty, they just don't know where they belong to. As even Britney Spears articulates young females' dilemma with singing "I'm not a girl, but not a woman yet" we can imagine that this is a quite central problem for young people (why else should Britney's song be that popular?). But maybe it is really harder for young people to find their place, today. Everybody has to be like everyone - unless s/he doesn't want to be an outsider.

I am well-educated, healthy and living in a democratic state. I study Geography, English and Spanish for becoming a teacher and as I will be engaged by the state of Germany I am proud to educate the next generation. There are much more topics we should be concerned of and people actually are. As Germany's average age of population is getting older and older, young people have to fear the old-age pension. Who is paying for the old people in the end? The problem gets even worse when more and more people are without a job, as this is the actual trend because of the bad situation of the economy. One the one hand, these are things young people worry about, but on the other hand Germany has a welfare system and health system that can't be compared to those of most other countries. In my eyes, Germans live to good and therefore they don't see the necessity of demonstrating. For
