Analysis of footnote to youth..

The short story "footnote to youth" is about how Jose Villa wanted to guide the youth in dealing with early marriage. Footnote
in the first place is a guide citation that was used by the researchers before, and until today there are some who are using it.
Anyway, he made the story for us, youth, to be guided.. guided in our inevitable decisions in life that could only cause our lives
to be miserable someday.. that we should not rush time in our decisions but nevertheless to weigh every single actions we'll be
making.

Summary:
Dodong wanted to marry Teang and asked his father's permission. Thinking that since they are young, their love would be
short, he allowed them to get married. After nine months, Teang gave birth to a child named Blas. For six consecutive years, a
new child came along. Teang did not complain even thought she secretly regretted being married at an early age. Sometimes
she even wondered if she would have the same life if Lucio, her other suitor who was nine years older than Dodong, was the
one she married. Lucio has had no children since the time he married. When Teang and Dodong were twenty they looked like
they were fifty.
When Blas was 18, he told his father that he would marry Tona. Dodong did not object, but tried to make Blas think twice
before rushing to marriage - because Dodong doesn't want Blas to end up like him.

SUMMARY
It was a story of a boy who was only 17 when he decide to marry his love one..
he was dodong, and he love teang so much that he could not wait for the right age to settle down in a relationship that is hard
to escape..its the "marriage". at the age of 17 dodong and teang got married without thinking of the risk being in an uneasy
part of life.they just follow what they feel..they doesnt think what would happen in their future. they got a child..their first
child.. teang realized how hard being a young parent. she regret of she had done and think,, what would be my life if i marry my
other suitors instead of dodong? can i have the same life as of now? she regret so much of!!
until one day, when their son grow.. he follow the footsteps of his parents.. he want to marry also at the age of 17,, he told his
parents what his plans.. dodong have nothing to do but explain how hard and how risky to be in "marriage"at the young age..
but like dodong before, his son also wants to pursue what he wants..

The lesson we can learn is that marriage can wait the right time, if we want to be in this stage of life, we must prepare ourselves
against the risk of it.. i know we can all be in to it if we like too but not at the young age....

I’d Come for You- Nickelback Without you – Hinder

Just One more moment, that's all that's needed. I just wanna be alone tonight
Like wounded soldiers in need of healing. I just wanna take a little breather
Time to be honest, this time I'm bleeding 'Cause lately all we do is fight
Please don't dwell on it, cause I didn't mean it And every time it cuts me deeper

I cant believe I said I'd lay our love on the ground 'Cause something's changed
But it doesn't matter cause I've made it up forgive me now You've been acting so strange
Everyday I spend away my souls inside out And it's taking its toll on me
Gotta be someway that I can make it up to you now, It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
somehow.
Without you, I live it up a little more every day
By now you'd know that I'd come for you Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
No one but you, yes I'd come for you I didn't wanna believe it then but it all worked out in the
But only if you told me to end
And I'd fight for you When I watched you walk away, well, I never thought I'd
I'd lie, it's true say
Give my life for you I'm fine without you
You know I'd always come for you
Called you up 'cause it's been long enough
I was blindfolded, but now I'm seeing And you said that you were so much better
My mind was closing, now I'm believing We have done a lot of growing up
I finally know just what it means to let someone in We were never meant to be together
To see the side of me that no one does or ever will
So if your ever lost and find yourself all alone 'Cause something changed
I'd search forever just to bring you home, You were acting so strange
Here and now this I vow And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
By now you'd know that I'd come for you
No one but you, yes I'd come for you Without you, I live it up a little more every day
But only if you told me to Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
And I'd fight for you I didn't wanna believe it then but it all worked out in the
I'd lie, it's true end
Give my life for you When I watched you walk away, well, I never thought I'd
You know I'd always come for you say
You know I'd always come for you I'm fine without you

Yes I'd come for you, no one but you, 'Cause something changed
Yes I'd come for you You were acting so strange
But only if you told me to And it's taken its toll on me
It's safe to say that I'm ready to let you leave
And I'd fight for you Whoa! Yeah!
I'd lie, it's true
Give my life for you Without you, I live it up a little more every day
You know I'd always come for you Without you, I'm seeing myself so differently
I didn't wanna believe it then but it all worked out in the
No matter what gets in my way end
As long as there's still life in me When I watched you walk away, well, I never thought I'd
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for say
you I'm fine without you
I'd crawl across this world for you
Do anything you want me to Without you!
No matter what, remember you know I'll always come for Without you!
you Without you!
You know I'll always come for you.
I just wanna be alone tonight
I just wanna take a little breather
