Tricky turbulent teens

This is with reference to the cover article “Tricky turbulent teens” by Yasmin Elahi (YW, November 18).

The article addressed a prevalent issue that all of us face during our teenage years. Growing up brings about various physical and mental changes, leading to turbulent emotions and pain. Unfortunately, these emotions often steer us toward negativity and have a significant impact on both our body and mind. Notably, our unpredictable behaviour and attitude during this period can also be a source of concern for our parents and those around us, often attributed to hormonal changes.

The writer provides valuable tips and awareness for managing ourselves during this phase. In my opinion, sharing every problem with our parents can be very beneficial for our mental health.

Learning from Jinnah

This is regarding the cover article “Learning from Jinnah” by Ambreen Arshad (YW, December 23.) I would like to express my gratitude to the writer for crafting such an informative article that prompts readers to reflect on their actions.

Jinnah played a crucial role in creating and working hard for Pakistan, envisioning a peaceful life for Muslims. Therefore, we must all embrace the qualities that our Quaid embodied and follow in his footsteps in working towards resolving the challenges our nation faces today.

The article “Learning from Jinnah” by Ambreen Arshad was a great piece as it emphasised the significance of looking back at our history and learning from great leaders like Mohammad Ali Jinnah, who played a crucial role in shaping our nation.

The article encouraged readers to contribute to the prosperity of the country by embodying qualities such as integrity, discipline and selfless dedication, as only these qualities would pave the way for a better future for our country.

A spectacle miracle

This is regarding the story “A spectacle miracle” by Aimen Zehra (YW, December 16). The story highlighted the idea that true self-worth stems not from outward appearances, but from inner beauty and self-acceptance. It reminded us that all human beings have unique differences and imperfections. Rather than judging one another on superficial qualities, we ought to embrace each person in all their marvellous complexity.
