Agenda July 14, 15
Nakakapanghinayang
"Sa isang programang panggabi, ipinakita ang
karaniwang pag-aakala ng ilang kabataan na
ang pagiging "in", "cool" at "independent" ay
maipamamalas sa pamamagitan ng paglalasing,
paninigarilyo at pag-uwi ng alanganing
oras mula sa gimik kasama ang barkada.
Makitid at maling konsepto ito ng tapang, tibay at pagsasarili.
Sa katunayan, dito nagsisimula ang pagkasira ng
kanilang kinabukasan. Ang mas kalunos-lunos ay may
maiimpluwensyahan pa silang iba."
