Re: Mental health of youth- The influence of social networks
Breaks help, but they’re not a long-term solution. We need to change the culture around social media. Right now, it’s all about performance—looking good, getting likes, appearing successful. If we promoted more authenticity online and focused on real connections instead of validation, social media c...

Re: Housing issue of young people in the WB6 – How to Solve It?
It’s time to stop seeing housing as a luxury and start treating it as a basic right. Otherwise, in a few years, our cities will be empty of young people, and only the wealthy will remain.

Re: Housing issue of young people in the WB6 – How to Solve It?
That’s the situation for most young people. Either you live with your parents well into your 30s, or you struggle to afford even a small apartment. And let’s not forget Airbnb – landlords would rather rent to tourists for short-term stays than to locals for long-term housing. It’s happening in every...

Re: Housing issue of young people in the WB6 – How to Solve It?
That's a great point, Alvina. But what about the rising housing prices in general? I think that’s a major obstacle. Even if someone has a good job, housing prices have been skyrocketing in the region. In larger cities, it’s almost impossible for young people to afford anything decent without going ...

Re: Western Balkan Youth Migration
It’s not just economic reasons though, right?
