We are in a time when youths, the future of our country, need more public awareness. In a fast changing era and in our present situation, the youths are going through excessive competition for entrance exams, severe stress and the standardization of everyday life, and they are in need of support from adult organization.
Most of all, in a time when youths need the help from adult policies, we must be able to help the youth, who need support through fulfillment of sociality and provision of learning centers and jobs, by protecting each one of them to adapt and be self reliant. They are in need of diversified effort and understanding for them to live a healthy life, and as heroes of the society with a healthy and bright future.
