Congratulations Junior Graphic
Dear Editor, I wish to congratulate the Junior Graphic on the occasion of its 20th anniversary celebration.

The newspaper is cherished by us young people because of the significant role it plays in our lives.

It serves our educational needs. We learn new things related to what we are taught in school.

The past questions and their solutions published in the newspaper also help us to know how to approach examination questions.

Furthermore, it serves as a means of entertainment for us young people because we learn the lyrics of the new songs that are published.

This in a way also helps us to know the artistes who sang them.

The riddles and puzzles also help us to relax our brains. We get the chance to read about the latest sports news in the world and in the country.

Again, it offers us the opportunity to develop our writing skills.

Through the submission and publication of our articles, we get to know of the  mistakes we make in our writings.

The Junior Graphic also serves as a counselling tool for young people.

Through the advice given in the Auntie Betty column, we know how to handle both our emotional and psychological problems.

I wish the staff and the publishers, Graphic Communications Group Limited, a happy anniversary. It is my prayer that they will continue with the good work they are doing.

Lord Mensah,
First Baptist Church School,

Get occupied with your books

Read your books

Dear Editor, Children should read their books religiously as if their lives depend on them.

Children should value their books as if they were precious minerals. They should not think that the closure of schools mean an end to studying.

Now is  the time when they have to study hard in order to make up for the lost time in school.

Studying their books now will also keep them occupied, and as such they would not have time to engage in activities that will not bring benefits to them.

Making books their friends, especially at this time, will also help them when school reopens.

They will be successful in their academic pursuit and that will make their families proud.

Smoking is unhealthy

Dear Editor, Smoking is a bad habit therefore I urge young people not to engage in the practice.

It can affect one’s health, cancer being one of the effects.

I know somebody who got introduced to smoking during a visit to a night club.

He became addicted to taking other drugs and he eventually ended up in jail because he needed to steal in order to get money to buy the drugs.

Smoking is dangerous and even if one does not end up with a health problem, one may end up in  prison if the substance they smoke is an illegal one.

The time to stop is now. If you have not  started,  don’t  try it.
Henry Ametor.
