The hidden cost of sharing online

This is regarding the cover story, “The hidden cost of sharing online” by Mirha Asif (YW, November 16). The topic of the article was highly important and relevant for kids and teenagers, as this is the age when the urge to share with friends surges, and young people often feel closer to their peers and, sometimes, even to strangers. In today’s digital world, over-sharing can lead to significant risks, including privacy breaches, cyberbullying or manipulation.

Parents and guardians must remain vigilant and guide their children to understand the potential dangers of sharing personal information online. They should teach them to be cautious, to think critically before posting, and to avoid being too trusting of others, especially strangers.

Wonder craft

This is concerning the “Paper butterfly” craft featured in the Wonder Craft section (YW, November 23). Without a doubt, this craft brightened my weekend and added colour to my study desk. While it was a bit tricky at first, once I figured out how to make the butterfly from paper, it became a fun activity. I enjoyed making several butterflies to decorate my desk.

Time is money

This is regarding the story “Time is money” by Muhammad Khan Nohri (YW, November 23). The story was engaging and conveyed an important message: ‘Time is a valuable resource that cannot be regained once lost.’

It is essential to utilise it wisely to achieve our dreams and goals. Time is limited, so we must make the most of it by focusing on areas that truly matter. We should prioritise our health, goals and relationships, and plan each day with a purpose.

Moreover, it’s important to invest time in ourselves and our family, while also taking care of our well-being. By following these principles, we can work towards achieving our goals and dreams.

Culture, the way of life

This is regarding the article “Culture the way of life’’ by Faisal Khan (YW November 16). It was clearly mentioned in the article that we must not forget our culture, traditions and way of life, as culture is the identity of a nation. Many influential individuals and authors have stated that to understand a nation’s culture, one must first study the history of that culture. It is essential to know our own culture, because if we don’t understand ourselves or our own culture, how can we truly understand others?
