What they say

Some Western snacks and junk food have done harm to teenagers' health. The number of fat kids is growing. Nowadays, many diseases are the result of an unhealthy lifestyle and could be prevented. People will be less prone to get these diseases, or avoid them altogether, if they had more knowledge.

We should make senior high school education free. It will enable more kids from poor families to receive this level of education and reduce educational injustice to a certain extent. It will improve teenagers' knowledge level, it will postpone their age of starting work and they will be more prepared and more responsible when they do leave school.
