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.
