Teens of the UK speak out

On Christmas Day this year, teenage Britain delivered its own message to the nation. Broadcast just after the Queens Speech on myspace it gives a powerful message to adults and a great insight into youth of today.

Listening to it here are the messages I took out.

Most young people find it difficult to identify or communicate with their families this is cited by the youth as been a reason some join gangs.

If you are exposed to violence it becomes the norm and expected.

Most youth are very distrustful of the government and politics and believe the voting age should be lowered.

They have very dim views of the education system saying it does not prepare them for life and teachers are to focused on the trouble makers.

Youth want to learn and engage from adults but most will not approach them.

I think these are strong messages and show us that the youth of the UK do want to reach out if we are willing to accept them.

I love things like this but my only fear as with all good ideas is that no one does anything with the information and nothing changes.

What do you think?
