But they lag in experience but it can be gained through practice.
Naturelover, you are so very
Naturelover, you are so very right. Sometimes I think we put too much of a burden on youth. That said, we were all youth once, and it's our duty to try and change the world, to try and make it better. We don't have a rulebook, though. We learn by experience.
