IELTS eassy: the unhappy young generation == THE TOPIC == In some countries, young people are not only richer, but also safer and healthier than ever before. However, they are less happy. What is the main reason about this? What can be done for this? == THE ESSAY == It is a surprising fact in some countries that young people are not as happy as before, even though they are wealthier, safer and healthier than their parents were. This essay will look at the reasons behind this and suggest some possible solutions. In my opinion, young people are unhappy mainly because they do not have enough challenges in their lives, and some of them may have problems finding out the purposes of their lives. People feel happy for many different reasons. The most important one is a sense of accomplishment, which comes from conquering challenges or fulfilling purposes. Unlike their parents, most young people today do not have to fight for a better life since they already have almost everything needed for a decent life. It is therefore easy for many young people to constantly indulge in meaningless activities, which may lead to a huge waste of time and feelings of loss and regrets. There are a number of ways that can help the young generation to find passion and purpose in life, which will in turn improve their wellbeing. The best way is to travel and know more about the world. While wonders of the world such as the Great Barrier Reef amaze people, young people may also learn that not everyone in this world lives a life as good as theirs. In some countries in Africa, for example, there are people who are still struggling to survive. It sometimes can change one’s life just to see a different part of the world, because it inspires people to rethink about the meaning of life. There are many other ways to help young people to find the right track and improve their happiness. The key is to get inspired and put the thoughts into action. In conclusion, there are reasons why there is a decline in young people’s wellbeing, and it is import for the young generation to find out what they want in their lives and go for it. (331 words.
