Imposing curfew

outdoors late at night. Many of these teenagers got into fights and commit crimes thus, wasting
their youthfulness. In response to this pressing problem, the government imposed curfew.
Curfews will give the children and parents more quality time to spend with each other.
Teenagers can better focus on their studies rather than have drinking sprees with friends at night.
3. Everybody should follow the curfew because it was imposed for the good of everybody. It
was not made to violate the rights of the youth for happiness. It was solely made for the purpose
of protecting them. Partying at night and going out with friends at night will only give negative
effects to a teenagers’ life physically, mentally and spiritually.

Attitude Towards Study

____A. With just a few weeks to go before classes end, we hope these few reminders will
result to a better attitude towards study.
____B. We should not think of study merely in terms of quizzes, recitations, homework,
term papers and reports. Putting a valuation upon it in terms of five, ten or twenty years
from now will give it more meaning to us.
____C. The facts, ideas and principles we acquire now are the stuff with which we will do
our thinking in the future.
Let’s remember, too, that how we learn is sometimes more important than what we learn.
An efficient working method will serve us throughout life, but many of the things we learn
will just be forgotten. Being systematic about study will do a lot. Habit then comes to our
aid.
____D. We are in school because we want to learn. Our study is for our own benefit and
not to accommodate someone else. As such we have to relate it to our own aims or
ambitions in life.
