Summary/Abstract: What is wrong with the young in Serbia? Or let us put that question in another way: why the young in Serbia lack courage, will-power, desire to engage in resolution of social issues and why do they succumb to apathy which is increasingly becoming a main feature of the Serb society? That issue shall not be raised only by an embittered member of the older generation who is also likely to say that in his youth things were different, that is, much better. It is only normal that the old level heavy criticism at the young, and that such criticism, pending on the currently political circumstances, is more or less politically charged. Aside from objections that the young are inclined to take various drugs and other inebriating substances, there are also those, age-old ones about the lack of interest of the younger generation in their fate, in the future, in the world. Young are young, old are old, young shall grow older, and we wish the old people to age well and to enjoy their deserved old age. I don’t have enough experience or a sufficiently representative specimen to judge the older generation, but I think that I have some knowledge of the young, being one of them, and that I could impart it without aspirations to drawing lo ft y conclusions and lesions.
