Cute or fat

This is with reference to the article Healthier choices by Gulrukh Tausif (YW, April 14, 2012). It was a well-written article and probably helped many depressed children along their way in fighting obesity.

Many children, due to spending hours on watching TV, playing video games and avoiding exercise, get obese in no time. The effects are far-reaching, they face embarrassment and the worst thing is that they get severe health issues. It is always best to keep away from such activities and always try to maintain your health and a reasonable weight.

Website reviews

Young World is totally awesome! It has great stories, poems, information, etc. I’m a regular reader of this magazine; every Saturday YW brings something special to share with its readers.

I would like to request the YW team to add more stories because most readers like to read  them. Also, one of the best sections I would like to mention is the reviews section, and in them, the website reviews by Aamir Raz Soomro are always full of information. I like it very much because we get to know about many interesting websites and also what the site is all about and what features are there to explore.

My very strange flowers

This is regarding the story My very strange flowers by Sadaf Tausif (YW, April 14, 2012). The writer beautifully narrated this fantasy story so I liked it very much. It would be great if the magazine always includes fantasy/adventure stories.

Quotes

I like quotes in the YW, and this is with reference to the quotes that appeared in the issue of (YW, April 14, 2012). All the quotes, as they were related to health, were very inspirational and good!
