Don’t give up! … It’s just one test … It’s just an obstacle. Just look at it as … You can overcome this obstacle … It’s not the end …

Don’t give up. I’m sure if you study you can do it. Just keep at it and the next time will be better. Not everyone passes every test at first go.
I know it feels like it, but it’s not the end of the world. Don’t say you’re done with relationships. Just say you’re done with people who are not worth your time. And now you can take time for yourself and do something that you enjoy.
Yes, you’re facing a huge challenge. No work, no money. But you can try to learn something new and maybe change professions. Or maybe find an even better job. You’ll get over this obstacle and things will be well again.

Dear Editor,

I am writing with reference to the article you published last week entitled “Will they ever grow up?” I would like to disagree with some of the points made in this article.

I must say I was rather surprised by the way the article described young people, calling them lazy and afraid of challenges. I would like to say I strongly disagree with this viewpoint. It might look like we’re lazy because we have just one responsibility – learning. However, I believe the author underestimated the amount of work and perseverance that is required. Students face many obstacles and setbacks, like broken relationships, bullying, depression or tests failed despite studying. It might not look serious to an adult, but to us – these are real challenges that require great resilience.

Let me give you an example. My classmate’s parents were going through a divorce and they were not able to give him any support. He was upset, so he started to fail tests at school. Basically, wherever he turned he faced problems, so his self‑esteem suffered a lot. It took a lot out of him not to just take the easy way out and start skipping school. Yet he persevered, started making up for the tests while taking the current ones. Now, I’d like to know what this attitude has to do with being lazy or not grown up?

I hope you will print my letter and encourage other young people to comment on it.

Yours faithfully,

XYZ
