Daar word baie gepraat oor die morele stryd in die Saldanha-gemeenskap, met skietvoorvalle onder tieners wat deel is van die bendes wat Saldanha ruk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Baie praat oor hierdie morele stryd in ons gemeenskap, maar min doen iets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Wanneer hou dit op en wanneer is genoeg dan genoeg? Hoeveel jong seuns moet ons nog aan die dood afstaan? Hierdie skietvoorvalle raak nie net die volwassenes nie, maar ook die tieners. Dit maak hulle angstig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk kan nie eens meer alleen winkel toe gaan nie,\u201d s\u00ea \u2019n jong inwoner van Saldanha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die jeug van vandag is m\u00f4re se grootmense \u2013 maar hoe gaan hulle leiers kan wees as hierdie jongmense mekaar uitwis?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dan is daar die eksistensi\u00eble krisis onder jongmense, waar hulle hul eie lewe neem as gevolg van huishoudelike probleme of selfs die druk op akademiese gebied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens statistieke ly talle tieners aan depressie. Dis soos \u2019n onvoorsiene gebeurtenis, want niemand sien dit kom nie. \u2019n Jong slagoffer van depressie het aan my ges\u00ea: \u201cGod het toegelaat dat ek deur daardie battle<\/span> moes gaan om aan my te wys dat net Hy alleen die mag het om my daar uit te kry.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Sy het ook bygevoeg dat baie tieners nie eens bewus is van die woord \u201cdepressie\u201d nie. Ons jongelinge gaan deur soveel druk in die lewe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As ho\u00ebrskoolleerling was dit altyd hartroerend om te sien hoe \u2019n mamma, met trane wat oor haar o\u00eb rol en verneder deur haar eie vlees en bloed wat nie wil regkom nie, nog steeds en ten spyte van al die uitdagings hoop vir \u2019n oplossing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n My gunsteling-aanhaling is: \u201cMoenie iemand op sy baadjie takseer nie\u2019\u2019 \u2013 want almal het \u2019n storie. \u2019n Storie is soos \u2019n homoniem, want dit klink dieselfde maar die betekenis verander. Een van my drome vir die pad vorentoe sal wees om my eie televisieprogram te h\u00ea, genaamd Vertel jou storie met Mi-kayline<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ek glo met God aan my kant is alles moontlik. Wel, ek het so baie drome, dis ontelbaar. Ek dink dis dalk omdat ek nog op die ouderdom van agtien saam met my jonger susters animasieflieks kyk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ek glo aan dream big<\/span> en s\u00ea altyd die dag toe ek my o\u00eb oopgemaak het, kon ek al koortjies sing. Ek is dankbaar vir my ouers se liefde en goeie opvoeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ons as jongelinge moet leer om nooit te huiwer om nuwe dinge met albei hande aan te gryp nie. So, terwyl die feestyd op die horison l\u00ea en loer, kom ons probeer dinge anders doen. Dinge wat jou sal help in die toekoms. In plaas van slaap en die heeltyd TikTok kyk, doen dinge wat geestelik en emosioneel vir jou goed is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jy kan begin deur as \u2019n vrywilliger in jou gemeenskap aan te sluit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Onthou, almal het hulp nodig. So help dit jou om angs en bendegeweld te oorkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vanjaar het ek besluit dis tyd om aan my toekoms te werk, want iewers sal jy moet begin, so ek begin nou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As jy vir jouself s\u00ea \u201cek wil\u201d, dan kan geen klip of rots jou keer nie. Maak nie saak hoe jonk of grys jy is nie, daar is altyd tyd vir transformasie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ja, dis soms makliker ges\u00ea as gedaan, maar onthou, dis jou lewe, jou toekoms en natuurlik jou keuse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Kom ons droom groot en help om die gemeenskap trots te maak, want ons is m\u00f4re se grootmense.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Almal het \u2019n
