Young people have a lot to say. Gen Y is outgoing, creative and vocal about everything from the media to human rights, from Kim-K’s ass to sexism. But in 2010, only 44% of 18-24 year-olds voted at the General Election. So why are we not speaking up when it comes to casting our vote? I am one of those people... Read the rest of this post...

As a young girl living in the false hope of a fairy princess life, I was consumed by the idea that my life would be easy and carefree.

A girl went to the market with her friends. While she was there a young boy tried to snatch her purse and run away. He was caught by a policeman.
