This is your space.
Youth Voices has been created to give young people a platform to discuss the issues that matter most to them, whether that's school, mental health, social media, knife crime, community safety, careers, relationships, or anything else affecting life today.
Too often, young people feel that decisions are made about them without their opinions being heard. Research and youth engagement projects across the UK consistently show that young people want their voices listened to and taken seriously when it comes to issues that affect their lives.
Here, every respectful opinion matters.
We encourage open discussion, healthy debate, and the sharing of experiences. Whether you have a concern, an idea for change, a question, or simply want to connect with others who understand what you're going through, this is the place to do it.
A few simple rules:
- Be respectful to others, even if you disagree.
- No bullying, harassment, or discrimination.
- Protect your privacy and the privacy of others.
- Keep discussions constructive and helpful.
- If someone is struggling, be supportive and encourage them to seek help where appropriate.
To get things started, tell us:
- What is the biggest issue facing young people today?
- What would you change if you could improve one thing in your community?
- What topics would you like to see discussed here?
Your voice matters. Let's make sure it's heard.
