As a result of the change, pressure and uncertainty that embodies our youthful years, most youths grapple with a wide range of issues as they grow and experience life. They struggle with inferiority feelings which may stem from their personal experiences, family situations, social experiences and many others, and all these feelings may further lead to them being depressed.

Although it is quite unfortunate that many young adults are closer to technology more than their parents or guardian, thus helping to aggravate the feelings of inferiority in their minds, there are still a number of ways to overcome inferiority and depression as a youth.
One thing you need to note is that your past situations does not define who you are. What defines you is what you believe in. Therefore, you need to dehypnotise yourself from false and negative beliefs. The truth about you is that you are not inferior, you are not superior, you are simply you. You are the only you there is and will ever be. So, stop seeing yourself as self-worthless and conceive yourself as being created in the image of God.
Secondly, don't hate yourself because you're not perfect. The fact that you're imperfect is not a sign that you're a failure. Instead of choosing to be perfect, focus on how you can make progress. Although the pressure present in our today's world can make you see yourself as not good enough, you have to inculcate this belief of "I am not in competition with any other personality". Therefore, stop measuring yourself against other people's standards, seeing yourself as defeated and worthless. Even though failure is possible, see it as a stepping stone to achieving success.
Finally, to overcome inferiority, you need to have a vision. Your vision is the clearly determined way to navigate the ship of your life. Set up a norm that is different and unique from others and be committed to the process. Also, don't compromise your vision for doing great things because of the challenges inherent in our time. Don't quit, stay with your vision and actualise your purpose.

STOPI agree with you. In a bit backward society like mine, people are often classified on different merits. And they are then put to live with these definitions for the rest of their lives. This surely hinders the development of an otherwise prosperous young person, if he might.
Hmmm... Very true
