Teenagers labelled 'yobs' unfairly

Being a teenager is hard enough without being labelled as 'yobs' and 'hoodies' by the media and others.

If you check out the '
This is me' website, it explains how most of you work hard and are well behaved. And that's why it's unfair that you're labelled as troublemakers, when it's only a few that get up to mischief and anti-social behaviour.

We started the 'This is me' campaign to tell adults and the media what you are really like and what you get up to. We wanted to tell people about the good things that you do.


As part of the campaign, we're really keen to know how you feel about the way teenagers (you and your friends) are viewed and what you think as a young person. Get in involved and be heard by posting a comment here.


Don't forget to create your profile and support the campaign.

This campaign is really important as when they were the age we are they were labelled too and we need to get out of a society that labels people as each is an individual. Support the campaign and get involved!

i dont exactly act the same as my friends and i dont look like them so when we get told off in public places and they single us out it really itsn't fair as we aren't doing anything. This campaign is important because of this and alot of other things!!!!
