'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...........

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 !
