Name:
Eleanor Sharpe
Status: MYP
Constituency:
Lincolnshire

--------------------------------------------------------

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I am very passionate about getting better sex education in schools, better transport for young people and stopping racism. Oh and the way adults talk about young people and always give them a bad name! If they expect us to respect them they should respect us!

What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency?

Transport is a big issue in Lincolnshire because we are such a rural county and it is so expensive to get anywhere. In my town (Boston) racism is a big deal and the Boston Youth Council is trying to improve relationships with ethnic groups.

What do you hope to achieve during your term of office?

I want to make my mark and try and help young people’s voices be heard because they are tomorrow’s influential people. I would also like to promote a positive image for young people everywhere.

What is your future career ambition?

I hope to do something along the lines of science and maths but I haven’t made my mind up yet! All my mates reckon I should be Prime Minister (why not?) so I wouldn’t mind going into politics. I like music as well so the producing side of things does appeal to me slightly. Oh and acting is cool so if I could be an actress that would be amazing.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

There are so many people and groups I could say but my friends always encourage me so I admire them. I think all the people who have gone through hardship in their lives and then want to do something to make other peoples lives better are the most amazing people in the world.

If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be?

Listen to young people, you’ll be surprised!
