Dear Angela,
We agree with you that people should receive what they earn and not have the people they look up to taking any of it without getting agreement from the worker. For example when the money is handed over to the aunties and uncles at the factory using standover tactics. Our opinion is that school aged children should keep their money and the family members that the money is handed to should get charged if the child wants them to be.
We also agree with the fact that pacific youth can seek help
From social workers, lawyers, doctors, church ministers, and a range of social organisations that can help young Pacific Islanders. But they do not choose to accept the help that is given to them. For example when their relatives force them to go church. They should go to their minister to ask for help. Our opinion is that young youth should ask for help when they have problems.
We also agree elders should look after themselves except if they really need the money. For example when grandparents take the money and use it not for the young workers needs but for their needs. Young youth should keep their money except when the elders are in real need.
Yours Sincerely
Owen Talatau, Takawai Herbert, Brock Allen, Victor Pupuo
