Youth in Hong Kong

"Hey kiddo! Do you know what youth mean? It means young people like yourself who are still growing up and learning new things. In Hong Kong, there are many young people like you who are around the age of 15 to 24 years old.

Sometimes, being a young person in Hong Kong can be both exciting and challenging. You might be going to school or university, making new friends, trying different hobbies or exploring new places. But you might also feel some pressures from your family, school, or society to do well in exams, have a good job or behave in a certain way.

In recent years, many young people in Hong Kong have also become more interested in expressing their opinions and participating in social and political issues. Some have protested for more democratic rights or against issues they feel are not fair, such as high rental prices or inequality. This can sometimes lead to conflicting opinions and protests with older generations, but it's important for everyone to respect each other's viewpoints and find peaceful ways to communicate.

Overall, being a young person in Hong Kong can be both fun and challenging, but remember that you can always seek support from your friends, family, or professionals if you need help or guidance."
