Youth is a time when there are few tasks to make life difficult.If a child has good parents,he is fed,looked after and loved.It is impossible that he will ever again
in his life be given so much without having to do anything in return.In addition,life is always presenting new things to the child—things that have lost their interest for
older people because they are too well-known.But a child has his pains:he is not so free to do what he wishes to do; he is continually being told not to do things,or being
punished for what he has done wrong.
When the young man starts to earn his own living,he can no longer expect others to pay for his food,his clothes,and his room,but has to work if he wants to live
comfortably.If he spends most of his time playing about in the way that he used to as a child,he will go hungry.And if he breaks the laws of society as he used to break
the laws of his parents,he may go to *.If,however,he works hard,keeps out of trouble and has good health,he can have the great happiness of building up for himself
his own position in society.
