How would you improve your community?
Better lighting on the streets and more youth clubs were high on your list of priorities.
Hafsa, 16 I would like to see more facilities provided for girls. At the moment there's not much for girls to do. If there were more activities it would help get young people off the streets.
Jalal, 16 I think there should be more youth clubs. Teenagers don't have anywhere to go so they hang out on street corners, but if there was somewhere where they could meet then we wouldn't be out causing trouble.
Kantura, 16 A lot of children don't have any stimulation and don't know what to do with their free time. If there were more places to go where someone could teach us something interesting perhaps there wouldn't be so many problems in the world.
Fathia, 16 A lot of things are imposed on young people these days. I would give us more of a voice to choose what we want to do instead of being told.
Jafor, 16 All of the activities that are available in my area are for children under 15. I would make more activities available to young people over this age so that we have something to do as well.
Cherie, 16 I would make the streets safer so that young people can walk around at night and not be worried about being attacked.
Rashna, 16 To improve my community I would get different groups together and make them talk about any differences that they might have. It wouldn't be easy to do because there's a lot of conflict between different gangs, religions and races.
