On youth matters

Bravo The Jakarta Post with your Youth Matters page! Hopefully
this will become a bridge for our youth to reach out to adults
and to their peers. A place where they can pour out what they
feel and the worries that bother them.

So far, we have read informative and educative articles
written by some articulate young ladies. This type of thing
should be more encouraged.

I would like to make a comment about the article on prejudice.
I, who consider myself lucky, spent two decades of my own youth
in a different culture. Even though I agree with the writer, that
prejudice exists sometimes without one realizing it, you can
always minimize it by trying to understand one's background. Like
the popular saying, "charity begins at home". The best way to
deal with life is to always look at the positive side of things.
