A New Challenge for A New Generation

Summer has started, it's been over a month now and it seems that a deadly disease have tightened its grip on youngsters of all ages in the tranquil island of Bahrain. No , it's not the H1N1 Flu, Neither is it the summer heat (surprisingly) , Teenagers nowadays are suffering from a disease which I prefer to call : 'Boredom Syndrome' .

Now that school has finally ended, Teenagers all over the island are faced with a problem , '' What do we do now ? '' . For some teens, studying was the only thing they did to pass the time. But now, Time is passed very quickly as teens slowly develop into ' Potato Couches '. Spending almost endless hours in front of the tele, with a large size bag of Nachos and 2 'Diet' Colas to comfort them through the endless commercials, and of course, the traditional 6 hour marathon of playing Computer games, or just chatting which leads to social isolation .

This is the life of a typical teenager in Bahrain if he/she has nothing to do. The productivity of the normal Teenager decreases and becomes lazy. Teens and children are the future of the country and the world,
Rather interestingly, the government has setup Youth Programs to teach youngsters new skills to aid them in this ever changing world. According to what my sources say , approx. 900+ youngsters were trained and that , my viewers, is a hefty number in this community.

I'd like to personally thank the Government of Bahrain, Kudos to them for intervening to help rescue the future generation of Bahrain and someday,And , who knows,  They might do the same.
