 We all deserve to have our voices heard, but often decisions are made about us without us This is particularly true for young people who are often not listened to or consulted when their own rights are at stake Issues such as tuition fees house prices job markets and taxes are all decided often without input from the very young people Who will be most affected by them when they first start to build their lives But how can you make sure your voice is heard to start with you You need a seat at the table and the best way of getting that is taking an active interest in politics If you're more aware of what's going on which decisions are being made and how they're being made You'll be more empowered to affect those decisions You can take part in direct actions like protesting, striking or lobbying even just making sure that you can vote can make a huge difference We need a big drive in public law education to ensure that all young people know about these options and are inspired to become more active citizens
