Name: Amy
Hampton
Status:
MYP
Constituency: Staffordshire
--------------------------------------------------------
Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
Preventing the causes of racial hatred
and discrimination for young people; living in the modern multi-cultural
society today, conflict is inevitable but that does not make it
justifiable. I am also passionate about the deterrence of bullying
in schools and creating equal opportunities within Education for
children of all wants and abilities.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
In the constituency, I believe that
under-age sex and teenage pregnancy is the main and most serious
issue for young people. With a focus on more sex and relationship
education in schools, better communication between parents and more
support for teenage parents, I believe this quandary could be stabilised.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
I hope to forward my ideas to people
within Education about aspects like bullying and racism, sex/relationship
education and citizenship, for the subjects to take a more serious
role within school, as well as fulfilling my role as MYP, working
enthusiastically with others and enjoying my work.
What is your future career ambition?
I would like to continue my studies
in humanities and politics and pursue a career in humanitarianism,
working within civil rights, improving people's lives and reducing
suffering with a focus on racial equality and freedom from discrimination.
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
With my passion for civil rights and
the cessation of racism, predictably, Martin Luther King is my most
admired public figure. His intrepid leadership in the civil rights
movement and his commitment to fight for freedom and equality influences
and inspires me in a great way.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
To focus more upon education and equal
opportunities for all young people, no matter of race, gender, ability
or material background, as they are the doctors, politicians, artists
and citizens of tomorrow.
Additional comments:
I am enthusiastic and have ideas about
all topics within the UK Youth
Parliament even though I am most passionate about the ones mentioned
above. I will work enthusiastically at all aspects put to me as
I can always find something to be passionate about within any subject.
