FOOTNOTE TO YOUTH BY: JOSE GARCIA VILLA


 This story tells us that we all have a choice. Our past is not a hindrance to change our future. “Kung ano ang puno siya rin ang bunga” this saying is PARTLY true. Partly?it is because all of us have choices. We can change the mistakes that our ancestors had done.

             

This story shows us also ehat is youth now a days. We are fragile and sensitive. There are lot of bad things that could influence us. People around ud can influence us its either positively or negatively. Its our decision what choice we will take. As a youth we should not rush things up. We should enjoy our teenage life first and think deeper in making decisions in life that could affect our future. We should shout out or speak out our opinions in life. We should not just keep our opinions especially if that opinion of ours can change the mistakes of others.


As a reader of this story i felt sadden about what Dodong experience in his life, then we also felt anger for he forced his father to agree about marrying Teang even if he is still young. He never realizes the life of being a father.

Then It gets worst within their relationship, She probably mention that she is tired of all the drama and abuse and wants to leave, but yet knowing that her man was the financial supporter, she didn’t leave. So s he forgives him as he say sorry again, probably promising her that “it will never happen again”. Well finally
