Is iomaí dúshlán a bhaineann le bheith i do dhaoine óga

There are many challenges associated with young people

Deir tuismitheoirí agus seandaoine go mbíonn saol éasca ag an muintir óg

Parents and old people say that life is easy for young people

Ní hamhlaidh atá ar chor ar bith

It is not the case at all

Caithfidh mé a labhairt faoi

I have to talk about

An brú agus an strús a bhaineann leis an Ardteist

The pressure and stress connected to the Leaving Cert

Tá an cúrsa na hArdteiste ró-acadúil

The Leaving Cert course is too academic

Ní oireann sé seo do gach dalta

It doesn’t suit every student

Bíonn cuid daltaí ag streachailt agus in ísle brí

Some students struggle and are depressed

Oideachas triú léibheal

Third level institutions

Is é an coras oideachas rud mór a chuireann strus ar an duine óg

The education system is a big thing that puts stress on a young person

Bíonn cinniúint agus todhchaí an dalta go brath go hiomlán ar scrúdú ollmhór amháin

The destiny and future of a student totally depends on one huge exam

Níl sé ceart ná cóir

It is neither right nor fair

Mar thoradh ar strús na n-acadúil, iompaíonn an duine óg ar an alcól nó ar dhrugaí chun éalú ó na fadhbanna sin

As a result of academic stress, a young person turns to alcohol or drugs to escape their problems

Is minic a théann daoine óga thar fóir le halcól mar nach bhfuil aon taíthí acu air

Young people often go overboard with alcohol as they have no experience with it

Piarbhrú

Peer pressure

Ní maith le cuid mhór acu a bheith difriúil óna gcairde

Most of them don’t want to be different from their friends

Bíonn sé dúshlánach go leor ag an ógánach a shocráionn gan a bheith cosúil lena chairde a bhíonn ag ól nó ag glacadh drugaí

It is very challenging for a young person decide not to be like their friends who drink or take drugs

Tá go leor brú ar an duine óg a bheith cosúil le daoine óga eile a bhfuil ag déanamh rudaí mídhleatheacha

There is a lot of pressure on a young person to be like other young people who do illegal things

BIonn an baol ann go mbeidh an duine óg ag brath air an tsubstaint chun taitneamh a bhaint as an saol agus chun éalú óna chuid fadhbanna

There is the danger that a young person will depend on a substance to enjoy life or escape their problems

Eiríonn sé/sí gafa leis an tsubstaint

He/she will become addicted to substances

Is féidir le piarbhrú a bheith ina bhulaíocht freisin

Peer pressure can become bullying too

Tromchúiseach

Serious

Cuireann an bulaíocht isteach ar dhínit an duine óig

Bullying affects the dignity of a young person

Scriosann an bhulaíocht féinmhuinin an óganach

Bullying destroys a young person’s self-confidence

Cuireann siad lámh ina mbás féin fiú muna féidir leo cur suas léi

They may take their own lives if they cannot stand it anymore

Sheol na bulaithe teachtaireachtaí chuig an íobartach ar a bhfóin pócaí

Bullies send texts to the victim on their phones

Cuireann sé deistin orm go ndéanfadh daoine bulaíocht ar dhaoine eile

It disguts me that people would bully others

Caithfimid cabhrú le daoine óga atá á mbulaíocht sula mbeidh sé rómhall

We must help young people who are being bulled before it is too late

Níl mórán féinmhuiníne ag a lán duine óga beag bean ar an bhulaíocht nó an brú acadúil

Many young people have little self confidence regardless of bullying or academic pressure

Tá brú ar dhaoine ógá ón tionchar na meán a bheith tanaí cosúil leis na réaltaí cáiliúla

There is pressure on young people to be skinny like the famous stars

Tagann an brú seo ón a pictiúir de mhainicíní agus realtaí a fheictear ar na meáin shóisialta

This pressure comes from the pictures of models and the stars that are seen in the media

Teastaíonn ó mhórán daoine óga a bheith cosúil leo

Many young people want to be like them

Tá strús milteanach ar dhaoine óga maidir le cuma an duine

There is terrible stress on young people in relation to appearance

Fulaigíonn siad le neamhoird itheacháin cosúil le hanairaicse agus builime nuair a théann siad thar fóir

They suffer with eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia when they go overboard

Bíonn siad sa tóir ar fhoirfeacht

They are chasing perfection

Tá siad ag iarraidh smacht a bheith acu ar a saol trí mheán an mheáchain

They are trying to gain control of their life through their weight

Creidim gur cheart do thuismitheoirí do mhúinteoirí agus fiú don rialtas aird níos mó a thabhairt ar na deachrachtaí atá ag daoine óga.

I think that parents, teachers and even the government should pay more attention to the struggles of young people

Ba chóir níos béime a chur ar ábhair phraicticiúla agus ar scileanna sóisialta a bheadh oiriúnach do shaol an lae inniú.

There should be more emphasis placed on pratical subjects and social skills that would be suitable for life today.

Ina theannta sin

In addition to that

Ba chóir don rialtas marcanna a thabhairt do mheasúnú leanúnach chun an strus maidir le córa na bpointí a laghdú

The government should give marks for continuous assesment to reduce the stress linked to the points system
