Scary

...i'm scared of who some of the young people i work with are going to turn into.  Of how their lives are going to be so mediocre/joy less/hope less.  

It makes me so sad to see them trapped into ways of thinking and being.  

It's like they can't be bothered to achieve/make something of themselves/dream/try.

What's the difference between them and the others, who are trying/dreaming/aiming to achieve?

Is there ANYTHING that can be done to change their direction?
