-------------------------------------------------------- Which political issues are you most passionate about? I feel everyone has the right to be treated equally no matter what. Also I feel passionate about keeping young people off the streets and putting them in cleaner, safer environments like youth clubs and centres. This will also to help deal with drug and alcohol abuse, because they won't be so bored. What do you feel is the biggest issue for young people in your constituency? One of the biggest issues is the government constantly labelling us as "thugs" or "mindless yobs". Also, drug abuse and the constant rise of street crime are big issues. What do you hope to achieve during your term of office? I hope, with help, to make Derby a safer, closer community for young people. I want to give young people a better name and prove to the government that we are not a waste of time. What is your future career ambition? I am really interested in the arts, especially music and drama. I am also really interested in designing clothes or costumes (and accessories). I hope to go to an art school in London called St Martins. Music and art plays a big part in my life. Which public figure do you most admire and why? I don't really have a favourite public figure that I really admire but I do have a lot of respect for Nelson Mandela for what he's been through to end up on top, and making a stand for what he believed in. If there was one message you could send to the government, what would it be? Stop attacking young people verbally. They need to start pushing us forward and stop pulling us down. They need to stop and recognise they are putting us down. If they don't believe in us who will? We need constant encouragement, not constant bad mouthing. The more they call us names the more we are going to believe what they call us and live up to the name. Speech is powerful. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- East
