The saddening reality is that the younger generation is often at the forefront of these conflicts. It raises a poignant question: Is this the legacy we want for our youth? Fights over political affiliations should not define their aspirations.

It is disheartening to witness the potential of our youth being channeled into these conflicts, which, in the grander scheme, have no impact on political leaders or the parties they represent.

This trend needs to change. Our youth should disengage from these divisive actions, recognizing that these fights only result in loss for the individuals involved. Instead of fighting for political parties, they should focus on constructive efforts for a brighter future.

The time has come for our young generation to abandon these childish and misguided actions, realizing that their energy and enthusiasm can be better channeled toward positive endeavors that truly shape a prosperous tomorrow.
