Youth Day in South Africa is a special day. Every year on 16 June, we remember the brave students of 1976 who stood up for their right to a better education. They were young, but their actions changed our country. Today, Youth Day is a time to honour their courage and to think about how young people can build a better future.
One important way to do this is by making smart, healthy choices—like saying no to drugs.
Drugs can harm your body, your mind, and your future. They may seem like an escape, but they often lead to pain, broken relationships, and lost dreams. On Youth Day, we celebrate the power and potential of young people. Choosing to live a drug-free life shows strength, self-respect, and pride in your future.
There are many better ways to enjoy Youth Day. Spend time with friends and family, attend community events, or take part in youth programmes. Use this day to learn more about South Africa’s history and how you can make a positive difference in your own life and community.
Remember, you have the power to make good choices. Saying no to drugs is saying yes to your health, your dreams, and your future.
If you or someone you know is struggling with substance abuse, help is just a call away. At AC Wellness and Rehab Centre, we’re here to support young people on their journey to a healthier, drug-free life. This Youth Day, take the first step toward a brighter future.
