The great IT lab showdown incident
This is regarding the story “The great IT lab showdown incident” by Muhammad Rafay (YW, September 26).
The story was really funny, especially when Sir Saad turned out to be a Street Fighter fan himself.
My favourite part was when Sir Saad defeated everyone and then gave them five essays to write as punishment. It reminded me that teachers can surprise us in unexpected ways.

An unexpected accident
The story “An unexpected accident” by Aqsa Shoaib (YW, September 12) was a thrilling.
I could imagine how frightening it must have been to struggle underwater with no way to free yourself.
The story also made me think about the importance of checking sports equipment before using it. We often trust that everything is safe, but even a small fault can lead to a serious accident.

My grumpy hair
This is with reference to the story “My grumpy hair!” by Rameen Kaka (YW, September 19).
I could relate to this story because hair can be a real struggle, especially when it refuses to behave the way we want. I liked how the writer explained the science behind curly hair instead of treating it as a problem.
We should accept ourselves as we are, rather than trying to change to be like others.

The best part of the story “My grumpy hair!” by Rameen Kaka was how the writer went from being frustrated with her curls to learning how to care for them.
Many teenagers face similar situations when people comment on their appearance or give unsolicited advice. We spend so much time trying to look like everyone else that we forget there is nothing wrong with being different.
I hope more people understand that every hair type deserves equal appreciation.

I enjoyed reading “My grumpy hair!” by Rameen Kaka, because it showed that sometimes the problem is not with us, but with how we see ourselves.
We are easily influenced by what others say about our looks. As teenagers, we already face so many different pressures, so we should not make things harder for ourselves by trying to change what makes us unique.
