Which political issues are you most passionate about?

The political issue I am most passionate about is access to expressive arts, because in our school it is over £70 for 6 music lessons. You have to take your instruments in as well. Some people cannot afford that so they are not able to have music lessons. My other issue is bullying. I feel this is really important after my sister was bullied last year. It doesn't get sorted as well as the school says it does. I think that if the bullies bully more than two people they should get suspended or even excluded.

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

In the place where I live in Tywardreath there is nowhere for us to go, only Brownies and Guides. It is not that fun there and when you are 15 you are too old. I am involved in a lot of things, like my band and my dancing but all the other young people need somewhere to go. I think near where I live we need more places to go for young people aged 11-17.

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

I hope to achieve a lot of things but I really want more schools to be more aware of bullying because it is so uncomfortable for the person to go to school scared and afraid. It happens in some schools but not many. Bullying is a very important issue to me.

What is your future career ambition?

When I am older I would like to be an expressive arts teacher so I can teach music, art, drama and dance. At school I love my music and dance. I enjoy P.E. as well but I am an asthmatic acute and it sometimes aggravates it when I do too much outdoor activity when it is really cold. I also want to stay with the youth forum and a county youth forum because that gives us somewhere to go every month.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

My public figure is Anne Blake. She is a woman in my locality who voluntarily does all the Guides, Brownies and Rainbows. She is so nice and whenever you need help Anne can always help because she is a teacher. She is the best person I have ever met!

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

Children should have the same opportunities as adults have, except smoking and alcohol, so they can get jobs and go to the cinema alone without an adult to see a 12A.
