    Footnote to Youth by Jose Garcia Villa is a story that teaches us a moral lesson that discharging one's responsibilities at various phases of life is not as easy as it may seem at first, also this story wants to give a piece of information to the youth that in early age having a family is not easy that's why in choosing the path we need to decide carefully so there is no repentance happened, and some social issues.

    Like what happened in the story where Dodong has a family at an early age and their life is not easy because they don't have stable jobs and they have children need to feed, but when his son becomes a teenager he also wants to have a family at an early age that's why Dodong think that he doesn't want to have his son a family already because life is not easy but he doesn't want to break his son heart that's why he allows his son to married and have family already and we can see that the experience of Dodong and his son is same where they have a family at an early age.

    One of the biggest issues in our society is teenage pregnancy, this issue represents the message of this story, that in life we need to choose the path which is the right path, and we need to know our responsibilities so we don't have wrong decisions. It also focused on issues that our social problems because a lot of teenage the one who represents these issues, it is early marriage and overpopulation, that's why I want to say to all the parents in this world that at an early age of our children we need to guide them and teach them to choose the right path because a student responsibility is hard but having a family at an early age is harder because you have a responsibility to your children and wife even to yourself.
