1. What is youth?

“Youth” is generally the life stage between childhood and full adulthood. Different organizations define it slightly differently, but a common definition (like from the UN) is ages 15 to 24. In everyday terms, 13–24 covers teenage years and early adulthood.

This period is marked by:

2. Why 13–24 years are important

This age range is like the “launchpad” of life.

3. How energy is produced in the mind (ages 13–24)

Your mind doesn’t literally “store” energy — it uses energy from your body’s metabolism.

4. How blood works in veins (ages 13–24)

Your blood is basically your body’s transport system.

How youth waste their energy today

  1. Too much phone and screen time – scrolling for hours makes the brain tired but doesn’t build skills.
  2. Late nights and little sleep – the body needs rest to grow, but many stay awake on games or social media.
  3. Junk food and sugary drinks – give short bursts of energy, then cause tiredness.
  4. No real exercise – sitting all day makes the body weaker, even if you feel young now.
  5. Too much worrying – stress about looks, followers, or likes uses up mental energy.
  6. Chasing quick fun only – spending all time on entertainment instead of learning something new.
  7. Bad habits – smoking, alcohol, or other risky things harm health early.

Modern Research on Youth (Ages 13–24) — Easy English

1. Sleep and Brain Power

Young people who sleep early and get enough rest have sharper thinking and better memory. Even a little extra good sleep helps learning.

2. Exercise Helps Learning

Playing sports or doing regular physical activity makes memory, attention, and planning better. Active youth have healthier brain areas for learning.

3. Brain Growth and Risk

4. Why Teens Take Risks

Fun, excitement, and peer approval feel extra powerful. But self-control isn’t fully developed yet, so quick or risky choices are more likely.

5. Social Connection Builds the Brain

Having close friends and feeling connected helps the brain’s wiring grow strong for learning and emotions.

6. Alcohol, Obesity & Brain Effects

7. Mental Health Matters

Many mental health problems start before age 25. Teenage years are a high-risk time for stress, anxiety, depression, and even suicide.

8. Shaping the Future

What youth do now — in school, work, and habits — shapes health, income, and success for life. If they disconnect from education or work, it can harm the future.

9. Youth as Partners

When youth help in research and planning, they give real-life ideas that make health programs and studies more effective.

Story: The Young Companions and the Prophet ﷺ

Long ago in Madinah, a group of young boys loved to sit with Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. They were full of energy, questions, and dreams.

One day, the Prophet ﷺ called them together. He smiled and said,

“Remember Allah, and Allah will protect you. If you need something, ask Him first.”
Ibn Abbas, still a young boy, kept these words in his heart forever.

The Prophet taught them to pray and speak the truth, even if it was hard. If they made a mistake, he didn’t shout. Once, a young man asked to do something wrong. The Prophet didn’t scold him — instead, he asked, “Would you like someone to do that to your mother or sister?” The boy said no, and the Prophet prayed for him to be pure.

He gave them big responsibilities. Usama bin Zaid, still in his teens, was made leader of an army. This made the youth believe they could achieve great things.

He encouraged them to learn — reading, writing, and memorizing Qur’an. Some became great teachers while still young. He also encouraged sports like archery and swimming to keep their bodies strong.

The Prophet warned them: “A good friend is like a seller of perfume — you smell nice after meeting him. A bad friend is like a blacksmith — you may leave with smoke and burns.” So they chose friends wisely.

He reminded them that real strength is not in fighting, but in controlling anger. And he showed them, through his own life, how to be kind to the poor, share food, forgive others, and live simply.

By watching him, these young companions grew into leaders, teachers, and heroes — carrying the light of Islam to the world.

Building Morality in Youth (13–24 Years)

Youth between 13 and 24 years are like fresh clay. Their minds and hearts can be shaped for good or bad. This is the age when they make habits, form values, and decide what kind of person they will be. If parents, teachers, schools, colleges, universities, and the government work together, they can help youth grow into honest, kind, and responsible citizens.

1. Role of Parents

Parents are the first teachers of a child.

2. Role of Teachers

Teachers spend many hours with youth, so their influence is strong.

3. Role of Schools

Schools can create a healthy moral environment.

4. Role of Colleges and Universities

At this age, youth have more freedom, but they still need guidance.

5. Role of Government

The government can create policies and programs that support moral development.

6. Working Together

Morality grows best when parents, teachers, schools, colleges, universities, and the government work together.

Conclusion

Building morality in youth is like planting a tree. You need good soil (home environment), water (education), sunlight (positive society), and protection (laws and policies). If all parts of society work together, we can raise a generation that is honest, kind, respectful, and ready to lead the world toward peace and justice.

1. What is EFT Therapy?

EFT means Emotional Freedom Techniques.
It’s also called “tapping therapy” because you gently tap certain points on your body (like face, head, and hands) while thinking about a problem.

It is a mix of:

2. How EFT Can Change a Youth’s Mind

Youth (13–24 years) often face stress, anxiety, fear of exams, anger, low confidence, or bad memories. EFT can help by:

It works because when you tap and think about a problem, your brain feels safe, and the fear signal from the amygdala (a part of the brain) becomes weaker.

3. How to Do EFT Therapy (Step-by-Step)

(Very simple steps youth can follow)

  1. Pick a problem
    • Example: “I feel nervous about my exams” or “I can’t stop feeling sad.”
  2. Rate your feeling (0–10)
    • 0 = no problem, 10 = very strong problem.
  3. Create a setup sentence
    • Say: “Even though I feel nervous about my exams, I deeply and completely accept myself.”
    • Repeat this while tapping on the side of your hand (karate chop point) 3 times.
  4. Tap the points (about 5–7 taps each, in order) while saying short reminder words like “nervous about exams”:
    1. Eyebrow (start of eyebrow)
    2. Side of eye
    3. Under eye
    4. Under nose
    5. Chin
    6. Collarbone
    7. Under arm (side of body)
    8. Top of head
  5. Take a deep breath and think about the problem again.
    • Rate it again (0–10). If it’s still high, repeat the process.
