How does the lack of safe, youth-focused public entertainment spaces affect students social development?

In many cities and towns of Pakistan, there are few safe and affordable entertainment spaces like youth clubs, cinemas, o r game zones for teenagers. How does this shortage impact students’ communication, confidence, and healthy social interaction?

In many cities and towns across Pakistan, there are very few safe, inclusive, and affordable public entertainment spaces for teenagers—such as libraries, game zones, parks, o r youth centers. Cultural norms and safety concerns especially limit girls from going out freely. Due to this, MGHS students spend more time at home, often glued to screens, o r are simply deprived of healthy recreational outlets. This not only restricts their social interaction and confidence-building but also contributes to emotional stress and boredom. Opportunities to form real-world friendships, express themselves, o r engage in group activities are severely limited.
