Pakistani youth deprived of recreational facilities
2008-05-28 14:44:03 (GMT) (Caymanmama.com - Ezine Articles News)Pakistan, in itself is a nation where teenagers and most other youth are strictly confined to studying. Granted, the best doctors and engineers do graduate from our very own society; albeit no one can disagree that children want more in life than just books.
In various countries around the world, one can observe the unlimited recreational facilities provided by the government to ensure the youth’s health, and safety. In Pakistan, on the other hand, we have a significant lack of recreational facilities. Because of this, teenagers looking for activities apart from studying or methods of having “fun” end up creating a ruckus on the roads, they get involved in street gangs, drugs, and other negative aspects of peer pressure.
In Pakistan, only the upper class is able to afford the luxuries provided by an enclosed gym and the facilities therein. The middle to lower class where the majority of the citizens in Pakistan are, cannot afford such expensive luxurious clubs and are forced to turn to city streets thereby also disturbing the flow of traffic. Though these scary street and mud filled ground and poor quality sports equipment has led to the emergence of great cricket players like Imran Khan, Waseen Arkam, Javaid Miandad etc. But people like these are just a few; we can count them on figure. The majority end up in the same rat race with quite a few ending up in the hands of political organizations who juice them out for them own benefits.
In more developed countries recreational facilities are available for the youth so much so that every two miles you will come across a swimming pool, basketball court, in addition to football and baseball fields. If Pakistan’s government is able to organize a bureau to handle recreational facilities and provide places for teens to have fun free of cost, not only will they be helping the youth stay safe and on track, but they will indirectly be reducing street crimes and making society much safer for everyone.
