Why do we (youth) have to vote?

Its so sad to hear that some of us (youth) will not vote in the upcoming elections. This is our right and time to make a difference in our lives and even in the communities that we live in.

Look at the youth of 1976, they had one goal that was to change the situation back then around.And gues what they did it because they were working together. So what is stopping us to work together? Some people say the struggle is over so we don't need to united as they were. I totally don't think so because I truelly believe that we are fighting the different struggle today.

If you can try to look at it this way, the youth of 1976 were fighting for the usage of Afrikans in blacks schools, we have to fight the usage of drugs and violence in our schools. They had to wore balaclavas to protect themselves from teargas, we have to wear condoms to protect ourselves from HIV/AIDS so how can you say the struggle is over if have a lot similar problems from them.

Its start now remember what Ghandi said you have to be change that you want to see in the world. Gone are those days of sitting in a corner waiting and hoping that something will happened. We have to go out there and things hapened for and stop omplaining.

They say we are the leaders of tomorrow but all that start now.
