when these things happen you feel shamed and also
you feel as if some people are not being fair i think it is awful as young people
are the voices for the future and older people should respect that as we have
to show leadership as things are changing and some of us our responceable for
this and some are good yet some are bad. I am a member of the mourne youth council
in kilkeel and I think this project is very useful and also good fun as we get
to say what we think and we are heard.
