Al-Safi added that governmental institutions concerned – along with family and other organizations – ought to take this responsibility by providing the youth with the best atmosphere possible and facilitating their seeking prospects.

He advised the youth to seek advice from the experienced and learn how to depend on themselves, in addition to being receptive and listening to their fathers, teachers and mentors.
