whats Next.....?!
"NEETS" has become a widespread and growing phenomenon. Not only the NEETS themselves are diminishing their future, this problem will also become a threaten to our society and future generations. In order to eliminate the problems we should face this problem together and start from multiple angles.
Parents often complains that today's young people are vulnerable, lack of independant living skills and so fourth. The underlying reason is: parents often uses their ways of"LOVE" to deprive the natural grow up process which every young person have to face. Therefore, if we apply the psychology theory to this, issues is in the juvenile, responsibility on parents.
Part of our society OVER-PROTECTS their children: when they are little, parents are often worried about their kids getting injuried from playing game with others and then they set this"rule" of restricting contacts with other peers and "LOCK"the children at home. Afraid of the children feel hungry so "MOUTH-FEED" them, worried that they cannot do certain things properly so DO THE TASKS for them instead are all sorts of examples. with THOSE cares, how can such children grow up without being a NEET?!
Some young people are actually keen to work but carries this fear of been rejected by companies so they stay at home instead. But if you really think about it, growth is always accompanied by pains right? So it is definately recommended that they GET THEIR COURAGES out, walk OUT OF their miserable world and face the reality. It might be tough but along the way, they would definately achieve growth and get rewards from experiencing hardships.
On the other hand, increase of special programmes like the "September guarantee" is also needed in order to provide NEETS more opportunities to walk out of the door and into the community.

so what role does the society plays...
Those who are not in employment, education or training DO SUFFER from being classed together like some "alien species".
As soon as you mention the word "NEET", the negative image of them not working and not getting proper training/education pops up. Now, from the media's pointview, people have alot of criticism towards this topic, others that shows tolerance to NEETS can be hardly found. Of course NEETS brings trouble to individuals, families and the community around us and they are also the hope of their parents or even pillars of the country. Yet they not only cannot assume their proper responsibilities but also reach out to parents. HOWEVER, our society, our schools have no responsibility to this??
Certainly, NEETS should not be the object of censure, but rather the object of sympathy. NEETS are very much aware of the negative way they are judged and been isolated by others will just bring down their self confidence. A lot of those young people in fact do go on futher education but drop out at the end because they are on the wrong course and proper advice was not given. They just need a bit of guidance and support to get into work or onto an appropriate training course. Some people say NEET is the retaliation for education. How profound! " The experience that young people gain between the ages of 16 and 19 is crucial to building the skills they need for a successful career and adult life" Hughes (2009) Therefore it is local authorities, schools, colleges and training provider's responsibility to provide and offer the best education for young people to make sure they leave with compulsory skills to survive in a situable place for them.
NEETS......who's responsible
NEET has become one of the most remarkable icons among the society nowadays. If you do not know what it means then you are really out. NEET stands for Not currently engaged in Employment, Education or Training. The term was first used in the United Kingdom, soon followed by gradually use in other countries such as Japan, China.
In fact, a lot of the NEETS have higher level of knowledge and some may also be postgraduates or master students. So why do those people ending up being a NEET with such high degrees? Various social factors and issues lie beneath. Some NEETS have no trouble finding a job but instead give up on the job opportunities thanks to their parents. In these cases, young people have good family conditions; parents are very generous about providing basic necessities and gives away pocket money more than needed. While the parents are spoiling their child, young people take it as a granted thing and think it is ok not to do anything because they can always lean on their parents for it. Young people living under that kind of roof are LUCKY u might think…However the OVER care from the parents will lead their children to poor, low self-reliance and the fact that they are unable to adapt the society. Before the birth of the child, parents attempts to design goals and objectives for children and later send them to remedial classes against their wishes. They accompany the children to learn together, play the monitoring, supervision role and as a result, children are lack of independent problem-solving ability. Over time, they will hardly have their OWN reactions and ways of thinking towards things. When the child graduate, parents have completed the initial goal while finding their children being lost with no target to work towards and the fact that they do not know how to seek help in workplaces. Now are parents really helping their children to create a better future by doing so or…?
