Name: Abi McCarthy

Status: MYP

Constituency: Shropshire

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

Which political issues are you most passionate about?

I feel strongly about the issue of bullying. I feel that every child should be able to feel safe and secure wherever they are. Along with bullying I feel that positive imagery of young children is also important.

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

The biggest issue is anti-social and disruptive behaviour on the streets at night. The behaviour conveyed frightens and intimidates people who are older and more vulnerable.

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

I hope to make a difference around my area. I also hope that the ideas I put across can be used and developed to help others.

What is your future career ambition?

I would like to study veterinary practise or medicine when I leave school. I would like to do these because I feel I would be good at it, and I would be helping others and also have gained a skill in life.

Which public figure do you most admire and why?

I do not have a particular person which I idolise, but I admire anyone who seems selfless and does charitable work for others.

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

My message would be that more attention to detail should be shown when dealing with bullying as there are so many cases of children who have to suffer in silence and feel they do not have anyone to turn to.

Additional comments:

I look forward to a successful and fun year with all the other MYPs/ DMYPs.
