DEAR ITALY

Tragedy of Genoa, mirror of the national situation.

Picture
 Today, August 18, the state funeral was celebrated for the victims of the enormous tragedy that struck Genoa four days ago, the collapse of the "Morandi" bridge.
Collapse that caused the death of 42 dead, people who daily crossed the bridge to return home.
The collapse of Morandi bridge has caused a gash in the heart of Genoa. The wound is profound, it is made above all by the boundless pain for those who have lost their lives and for the missing, the wounded, the many displaced.
For the Italians this happened is the mirror of the terrible national situation.
According to experts, in Italy hundreds, perhaps thousands of bridges are deadly traps; to restore the country's infrastructures, a mountain of investments would be needed, but Italy is a prisoner of the euro and has a public debt that is equivalent to 132 per cent of GDP and costs 80 billion a year of interest.
As your young lover, my dear Italy, I don’t understand why you are so complicated. I don’t understand why we are overwhelmed by taxes but at the same time we don’t have infrastructure, shortages in public health, in the labor market, because pensions are at risk? why do we need  to emigrate all abroad? My dear Italy i love you but I don’t understand, and I would like to improve you but I feel alone in a sea of ​​disorder. I know that a young person should contribute to the growth of the country, but this is not the way.
Previous generations have ruined the present and the future of new generations.
If we decide to go abroad, forgive us.
We didn’t decide, we only had our wings cut off.

international youth day

9/8/2018

​Every year, the 12th of August sees the commemoration of International Youth Day. Celebrations are organized each year to support the Day as a way to promote better awareness of the World Programme of Action for Youth.
There are currently 1.8 billion young people between the ages of 10 and 24 in the world. This is the largest youth population ever. But 1 in 10 of the world’s children live in conflict zones and 24 million of them are out of school. Political instability, labour market challenges and limited space for political and civic participation have led to increasing isolation of youth in societies.
Youth need safe spaces where they can come together, engage in activities related to their diverse needs and interests, participate in decision making processes and freely express themselves. While there are many types of spaces, safe spaces ensure the dignity and safety of youth. Safe spaces such as civic spaces enable youth to engage in governance issues; public spaces afford youth the opportunity to participate in sports and other leisure activities in the community; digital spaces help youth interact virtually across borders with everyone; and well planned physical spaces can help accommodate the needs of diverse youth especially those vulnerable to marginalization or violence.

Young day

8/8/2018

August 12, Young day, I want to talk about a sensitive subject: discrimination. In this article I will talk to you from my own experience. Teenage is the time where young people are the most vulnerable, in search of identity, physical change... simple mockery or even insults can completely changed a young person in full personal development: loss of confidence, stress, questioning, anxiety, and even depression that can go as far as suicide.

Indeed, having been discriminated against in adolescence, I completely lost confidence in myself, but my parents did not understand why I preferred to remain alone, in my bubble, behind my screen to play video games.


Pointed at my maturity, which makes me different from others, I had the impression not to be like everyone else and young people took the opportunity to reject you, my nickname was "specimen".

My skinny body was hidden under a layers of clothing, I did not want to show my shrimp arms for fear of mockery.
My solution to fight against discrimination is to talk to specialists as soon as possible, neutral people, open to evacuate this evil, to regain self-confidence.

Today 25 years, I affirm my personality and I think of myself rather than wanting to please others: I have my own style.
