@NorthCountryBoy43 that seems a bit harsh.

. You talk as if resetting the mindset of the youths is an impossible unattainable task. If your child did something wrong would you punish them without showing them the error of their ways & how to not repeat the mistake.Incarceration in the already overflowing prisons with no decent rehabilitation programs where the fittest of the fittest survives is modern day psychological slavery. Dr Lez you are an inspirational goal model - but you know how it goes ‘We get alot of fight inna England'

Schools mostly add to the pressure on these young people because many teachers cannot relate to the youngsters which in turn disengages them - inclusion in many schools is just a word, not practiced, I have seen it for myself. You can't even answer Lez properly as you are not in the know because it doesn't affect you. X Factor is NOT educationally inspirational Vanessa and you will never understand the experience of the African youth because you are not walking in their shoes.

Vanessa you need to do some proper research & know what you are talking about before you open your mouth. What about academia, or are our young people are only fit for singing, dancing and sports. Why don't you look at the images & word sounds in the 'artists' videos that many young people look up to and who feeds this **** to them? You think that in this society locking them up is a deterrent? The solution is education from a perspective that young people can relate to & be inspired by.
