"Indonesia is one country in the world that’s densely populated, reaching 255 million people. Youth group in the age range of 10-24 is reaching 25% of total population, or around 65 million people in number. Total population of adolescent is important for the existence of a state. Why? Because they will play a role in this country in the future, "said Trustha Rembaka, coordinator of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta in one discussion about Youth Problem which was held on Saturday, September 17, 2016 at the Secretariat of Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta.A program on Youth Problem is important because young people today are in the era of advanced technology where information is very accessible by anyone. Young generation needs to improve their personal quality and life, at the same time, they should have self-filtering ability on current information to avoid bad influence. They are expected to act efficiently and touch other young generation to anticipate negative sides in society, such as violence, drug abuse, unhealthy habits, promiscuity, pornography, hedonism and egoism.
The discussion was attended by mostly students coming from various regions in Indonesia. As the opening game, Trustha challenged six participants to arrange map fragments of the islands of Indonesia. It is a reminder that they had come to Yogyakarta from distant areas, so they should study well and build their region after completing their study.
The recent data of new students number coming to study in Yogyakarta shows that there are more than fifty thousand people, recorded from several campus, consisting of UGM 8,700 people, UNY 7,400, UAJY 2,500 people, UII 5,000 people, ISI 1,100, USD 2,500, UMBY 2,000 people, UST 2,500 people, 4,500 people UMY, UAD 4,000 people, ITY 250 people, PGRI 750 people, APMD 400 people, UIN 4,600 people and plus many others that have not been noted.
Such large number of students are really potential for national development if they commit to the goal of learning to get new experiences, grow to maturity and dedicate themselves for the society. However, it could be a problem when they are unable to avoid laziness, violence, drug abuse, promiscuity, hedonism and unhealthy lifestyle.
In the discussion, the participants were grouped into several small groups. They read newspapers and chose a news relating to a case occurring among youth. Then, each group shared the news and gave feedback. Some news chosen are including drug abuse, smoking and unhealthy lifestyle, theft, traffic violation, pornography and self-management.

When Idea Comes Up
Business Starts
Inspirative Stories from the Youth
Sometimes it's hard to bring out ideas. It needs efforts and hard work when mapping one’s potency. When the ideas come up, people often do not execute it immediately but rather thinking about capital, networking and many other things and finally the ideas become futile. When an idea comes, then it is immediately followed by real action, the result will be gained immediately.
A student status is not an obstacle to do business, as it is also done by the four students as follows. Even-though just a start up business, they are enthusiastically trying to be real businessmen. A training on Creative Business held by Stube-HEMAT Yogyakarta provided a forum and opportunity for students to know creative business and its chances.
First, Frans, a graduated student from University of Sarjanawiyata Tamansiswa, who has done not just a single business. He offers his service to take and pick up school children, to be a waiter in a foreign restaurant, to fix broken electronic appliances, to build sale-booth, and now he starts a business on textile printing with excellent ink and exclusive design. Some of his t-shirts have been sold and two dozens order are still in process. His motivation arose after seeing opportunities in his hometown, East Sumba, which has many tourist resorts and they need souvenirs for tourists who visit there. Even though he graduated from mathematics, he is eager to develop one business in his hometown with risks that must be faced, such as limitation of raw materials. However, he is optimistic to overcome them so he can create jobs for young Sumbanese. "The training of Stube-HEMAT helped me to expand my horizons and challenge me to do something for Sumba", he said.
Second, Imanuel, a graduated student of Governance Science at SPMD APMD Yogyakarta, is motivated to do business and being self-supported. Nuel is interested in selling batik to his home town. "Opportunities of selling batik is a prospective market as the price of batik in Yogyakarta is cheaper than in Alor", he explained. Besides business on selling goods, he also sells second-hand motorcycles, provides sport uniforms and also does various order demanded by his customers from Alor, Kupang and Maluku. Creative Business training has motivated him to start a business.
Recycling cloth pieces become beautiful bags is the desire of Irma, a student of Christian education in STT GKS Lewa, Sumba. Firts, she was inspired by one TV show about creative handicraft and then she thought that she needed to learn more about it. The opportunity to Yogyakarta became her chance to enlarge knowledge of sewing. Returning from Yogyakarta, she run a small business more seriously. She was supported by her campus by lending her a sewing machine. Irma was very excited and this time she received orders to make bible covers.
Finally, Fredi, an Economics Development student, whose motivation comes from his hobby besides his spirit to earn income by run a business, observed opportunities of printing shop in East Sumba. There are just two printing shops in Waingapu so he chose to pursue knowledge of business on printing and screen printing especially when he got a chance to learn in Yogyakarta for a month. A training on creative business held by Stube-HEMAT expanded his understanding on business network, target of product marketing, provision of equipment and materials, market management, promotion and risk anticipation.
These simple story of four young people hopefully will motivate readers. Business can be done by everyone, anytime, and anywhere. Young, age is not an inhibiting factor to thrive. Fill yourself with curiosity and spirit to develop, and the success will come. Warm regards of success to all young people. (ITM).
