Dear Editor,

Re: Erosion of the fa’asamoa and Va Tapuia

If I were you, I wouldn’t voice my opinion on newspaper concerning the youths behavior and changed of lifestyle because your children apparently not being taught and discipline in the culture that you hoped for the kids to learn and live by. 

You said it yourself, using your own kids as example of being lazy. 

And if you tried to instill past lessons into them, they seemed to have more respect for the outside influence that they would embraced their lifestyle than you and now you have to look for a job probably to take care of them instead of them taking care of their elders. Just saying. Said though.
