Racism isn't a problem until YOU(whoever you are, whether White, Black or any other colour) make it one.

Homophobia, we're not AS fundamentally insane are some countries like say 'the USA'.

This site is probably gonna be considered 'Extreme' to some people, if you want an opinion, as much as it may sicken and disgust you, you have to give that same right to the crazies.

Start thinking about how you're going to address your housing needs for the future.

E.g., social housing, there's not much left and is lacking investment.

Have fun out there but always think about your housing needs and security. Unless you make a million for a private house, many of you will rely on council services for your shelter and security. At the moment things are stretched. I can't see much promise for the future.

Trust me, think about your housing future NOW!

Hey Guys - Upload your Community videos by Monday to make it into our Round Up Video! Also - check Hafsah's video on Identity in our featured videos - it's awesome!

i would like to disagree with you, we need to discuss these things to deal with them. teenagers do not want to do the worst, we may do some bad things but we're not all running around trying to find the worst things to do just so we can do them.

also just because these "social messages" are broadcast to us does not mean they give us the idea to go and do them. we are not so simple and easily affected so please stop acting like we are, we have brains and it appears we use them better than you.

[SuperOllieD]

Thats a fair comment. But if thats what you think....tell us what you think the solution is?

[MonkeyWhoWouldBeKing]

"just get along" good advice mate, don't let the absence of that philosophy in others get you down!

[Bionic0o0]

Not really a thing I do often.

Talking and sharing what I think.

Yeah I'll give it a go!
