ABC says: don't give up on the young

Sky News reports that both the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Pope sent New Years Messages that encourage society to pay more attention to youth and not to give up hope on them:


Both the Archbishop of Canterbury and Pope Benedict have used their New Year messages to urge people not to give up on the younger generation.

Dr Rowan Williams said even though the UK experienced "angry" and "lawless" scenes in the UK during the summer, young people can "flourish" with the right love and support.
Similarly, the Catholic pontiff told worshippers at St Peter's Basilica that young people were key to securing a future of hope, despite what he called "shadows on the horizon of today's world".
