I would like to get a regular monthly rave going, I would like to get more places for you to hang out without getting moved. I would like to get some projects going that you want to do and can be run by and for teenagers.

Tackle the bullying question which is a big issue for many teenagers. Work with the police to have a more positive attitude to young people. The police do some good stuff with teenagers, but I know they would like to be more trusted. We have to remember that the main victims of youth crime are other young people, it’s in all our interests to prevent anti-social behaviour and petty theft. I would also try to change the attitudes of some older people who seem to have a very negative view of ‘the youth of today’ which isn’t justified. so, what we call ‘inter- generational’ projects would help.

My dream ideas would be more sports facilities, more events and activities to go to – what would you like to make your life as a teenager better?

Well we need more activities for younger under 16’s. could you also reduce the costs in the Dolphin Centre and other places? 🙂
