Regardless of the conditions they wind up in, kids, youth, and youngsters are as yet creating people who have specific needs and rights. They have the two vulnerabilities and capabilities. They are not just â€Å"adults-to-be† who should be formed or â€Å"just children† who are to be underestimated. Youngsters are social on-screen characters and can be dynamic members in social change.
