There are many
young people that
feel loney, becuause there are noone that will really talk to them. The fact that many people won't bother making or having
friends, because they feel that there are noone with whom they can share their interests and feelings. This makes them have negative thoughts about others. They don't want to come to school anymore either, because they feel they are disliked by some, for some reason. This is not just a phenomenon in primary school, but also in high schools, universities and other forms of higher education. Many young people, as well as adults, think about nothing but getting drunk and "score", but what they don't understand is that life itself is bigger than drunkenness and scoring. I mean, that many young people feel
thrown away, because they are different and therefore have negative thought about themselves. To have one's identity is not about doing something to please others, e.g. drink with friends so as to gain
acceptance. There is nothing wrong in craving acceptance, since we are not made for rejections. My
hope is that the young ones who feel thrown away, insulted or lonely will know that they are precious, and that they will love themselves, since one cannot give what one does not have. We live in a
society where individualism is strong, and that is not critique, that is fact. Many young people simply do not feel like having friends, and they would rather focus on their education because of being bullied and harassed and so on. Let us lend a hand to the many, who does not have a mental peace, or a phyical one in society. They must accept themselves as they are, both when it comes to good and bad. I wish to encourage themto have positive self-images. I hope to hear your opinion on this letter to the editor.
