Name: Harpreet Lal
Status: Deputy MYP
Constituency: Hounslow
--------------------------------------------------------
Which political issues are you
most passionate about?
University tuition fees. Going to University is getting more and more expensive, those who cannot afford the costs are at a huge disadvantage.
What do you feel is the biggest
issue for young people in your constituency?
Bullying and teenage pregnancy. Despite national campaigns against it, bullying still persists in many schools. Unfortunately, most victims are too afraid to tell someone about it, and would rather suffer in silence. As for teenage pregnancy, I feel that young people are not receiving the educational support they need to deal with such issues.
What do you hope to achieve during
your term of office?
I’d like to explore the bullying issue, and maybe start a project to help tackle it. Also, I‘d like to raise awareness about the UK Youth Parliament and all it does to represent young people. I know that many young people haven’t heard of it yet.
What is your future career ambition?
I definitely want to go to university after my A-levels. I’m not quite sure what I’d like to study yet.
Which public figure do you most
admire and why?
Not sure about a specific person, but I admire people who stand up for the views of people who are under- represented, like UKYP members.
If there was one message you could
send to the government, what would it be?
Listen to the views of young people, the decisions that you make affect us too, not just adults.
