Empowering the youth.

Byline: RAHIM LAL-TURBAT

I write to address a pressing issue that affects countless students in our society today: the pervaAsive lack of confidence among our youth. It is disheartening to witness so many bright minds falter under the weight of anxiety, depression, and misplaced expectations.

In our increasingly challengAing world, the importance of conAfidence cannot be overstated. A nurturing environment is essenAtial for a child's self-assurance, yet many young individuals find themselves surrounded by negAativity and discouragement. The harmful impact of wrong arguAments and undue pressure from family and society cannot be unAderestimated, as they erode the foundation of confidence.

One critical turning point for many students is the experience of failing a test. Instead of embracAing failure as a stepping stone to growth, family and societal presAsures often brand them as failures themselves. This, in turn, chips away at their self-esteem, hinderAing their ability to learn and ultiAmately succeed in life.

Empathy and National Interest

It is a heartfelt...
