'The Convention on the Rights of the Child states that young people have the right to participate in decision-making processes that may be relevant in their lives and to influence decisions taken in their regard - within the family, the school or the community.'
Article 12 United Nations Convention on Rights of the Child (1989)


This site represents an opportunity for young people to have a say and comment on stuff that’s happening around you. It may be stuff that you have strong opinions about or merely a gut feeling, it can be about anything - school-life, home-life, love-life or park-life or long life (milk). You may think that your own opinions are pretty unimportant but that’s not true. What you think and what happens to you in your everyday life is just as important. Your opinions are just as relevant and valid as your best mate, teacher or your parents. So if something’s bugging U get it down somewhere on this site. You never know somebody out there may think the same as you and then you can both be naffed off. ‘GETTING IT ON’ is a page which will give you some ideas of what to do if you want to get something changed or a group of you want to take up an issue that’s been buggin U for toooooooo long. This page will give you some ideas on action - man !! I’M NOT HAVING A GO….BUT….!! is a perfect opportunity for you to make your point on a specific issue which is getting on your nerves. You can rant about anything - remember its not going to get marked, ticked, or submitted for a GCSE essay, we haven’t even got any well done stickers either so that’s out - So say what you really think. OH YEAH and by the way........... ********* READ THIS********* Being critical of other people's view point and opinions and arguing your own viewpoint is good. But what’s not OK is digging out another person just because of their age, gender, apperance etc. Any contributions like this won’t feature anywhere on this site ! ********* READ THIS********* The GRILL A POLITICIAN page is an opportunity for a young person to roast a politician about their views... ARGGGGGGHHHH my fingers will not stop !!!! WELL THNAKS TO THOSE WHO TOOK PART IN THE ONLINE CHAT WITH DEPUTIES PHILLIP OZOUF AND JENNIFER BRIDGE - TELL US IF YOU THINK IT WAS WORTHWHILE...
