Young people remain a highly contested group within our society (Dimitrova, 2017). The positioning of this population within the community is complex and multifarious (Zizek, 2009). Considering that youth has emanated from a social construction (Roche, Tucker, Thomson and Flynn, 2006) there has always been the risk of instrumentalisation as youth have been understood as simply there to engender consumerism and exemplify commodification best illustrated in the notions around Cohen’s ‘moral panics’ (1972). In this chapter, I will be arguing around the ambivalent positioning of a segment of the youth population considered as vulnerable because of the social productions that relegate them, best illustrated in the narratives I will be proposing in this work. Vulnerability suggests discrepancy and insufficiency and needs to be explored within a discourse that is governed by complexity and uncertainty. In other words, it is a term that conveys power volatility and precariousness. To counter act this discourse, the focus of this chapter is the young peoples’ narratives.
