What Is your Opinion On Today's Youth? Soapbox This Week Challenges Public Perceptions Of British Teenages With Alex Hylton, Chair, Youth Action Kouncil (correct spelling)

Soapbox This Week Asks: What is your opinion on Today’s youth?

Soapbox this week challenges public perceptions of Britain’s teenagers

With guests, Alex Hylton, 17, Stafford, Chair of the Youth Action Kouncil,, (http://www.youthbox.info/GetInvolved/SpeakOut/YouthActionKouncil.aspx), and Martin Rhodes, Youth Mentor, YMCA SOT, (www.ymcans.org.uk).

Given the chance to be negative about children and young people, the UK public generally seizes the opportunity!

YouGov asked almost 2,000 adults if they thought children should be subject to a curfew.

Three quarters agreed to an 8pm curfew for those aged eight and under, and half thought children under 16 should be forced to stay at home after 9pm.

And three quarters of them agreed with the statement "most children these days have no boundaries and think they can do as they please".

So why does society have this view of children, and are its fears well founded?

Irrespective of your views, Soapbox would love to hear from you.
