Voice of youth rings true

Thu., June 2, 2011

I would like to say thank you, Ashlyn Lewey (Letters, May 29). She has more foresight than most adults.

I know we have many young adults out there who have the same thoughts as Ashlyn does, only are maybe afraid to voice them publicly for fear that someone will say, “What do you know? You’re only a young kid.” Well, Ashlyn and all you other young adults, please speak your piece, as you have good ideas too.
