What does freedom mean to the youth?

Total independence

To today's youth, freedom means total independence. They expect elders - particularly their parents not to interfere in their activities. They are self-centred, self-opinionated and want everything at their disposal. They demand freedom in dress code, food habits, entertainment and use of phones and Internet. They don't seem to mind blowing up their parents' hard earned money. However, if the potential of the youth is channelised properly, the country will be in proud possession of many more Abdul Kalams.
