- “Why do I feel lost when others seem so sure?”
- “What if I don’t live up to my potential?”
- Will I disappoint my parents and myself
- “What will my peers think of me?
- “What if I never figure out what I want to do?”
- “What if I choose the wrong career path?”
- “What if I’m not good enough?”
- “Will I be successful?”
Doubt and fear are reality and they do not discriminate:
Over 70% of youth aged 16–24 report feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and unsure when thinking about their futures and career paths.
Young people worldwide are facing a generational mental health crisis. In a world more connected than ever, their struggles are both uniquely personal and profoundly global.
The world’s 1.2 billion young people – 16% of the global population – stand at a crossroads.
They face a future shaped by relentless technological upheavals, economic turbulence and an evolving social fabric that demands more from them than any generation before.Sources: OECD Global Youthwise survey, World Economic Forum
The ripple effect of doubt and fear - affects both parent and child
1. Wasted Investment:
Putting time, money, and energy into the wrong course or path can feel like a major loss.
5. Emotional Stress:
Watching your child feel lost sparks deep anxiety, guilt, and self-doubt.
2. Falling Behind:
Switching courses or starting over creates pressure to “catch up” with peers.
6. Strained Relationship: Misunderstandings or pressure about their future can cause tension and distance.
3. Low Motivation and Engagement:
When studies don’t resonate, learners disengage, procrastinate, or burn out.
7. Sense of Powerlessness:
It’s overwhelming not knowing how to support a stuck or uncertain child.
4. Delayed Independence:
The wrong career path can delay graduation, employment, and financial independence.
8. Lost Confidence in the System:
You may start to question the advice or systems that led them off course.

“Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?”
“That depends a good deal on where you want to get to,” said the Cat.
“I don’t much care where—” said Alice.
“Then it doesn’t matter which way you go,” said the Cat.
“—so long as I get somewhere,” Alice added.
“Oh, you’re sure to do that,” said the Cat, “if only you walk long enough.”
