In an area where the peoplearound you have little or nothing to eat, the food that you have seems so precious...Now that we’re back in England, my experiences of Africa make me appreciatesimple food much more. My memories of the impoverished, hunger-stricken people,remind me to be thankful for the food I have. Seeing farmers struggling to make aliving from their businesses has spurred my family into buying Fairtrade producewhenever possible.We’re so lucky just to have three square meals a day, let alone shelves stacked withdelicacies from around the world. Basically, I think that we should all take a leaf outof the Africans’ book, and be more thankful for the wonderful food that’s on offer.WIN! an iPhone worth over £200!...Our next topic is sex education.It’s been in the news recently as the debate rages about how, when and atwhat age you should be taught about it.The details: Articles should be no more than 250 words and be your ownwork.

Into theDragon’s DenYou’re hired! Do you want to be a success inbusiness when you leave school?With this in mind West SussexYouth Cabinet is campaigning tobring in a new subject at secondaryschools that teaches you how tostart up your own business.A recent survey revealed manypeople believe schools don’t alwaysprepare you for the big wide world,and they can sometimes try andpush that the only option is to gointo further education.Although having qualifications cangive you more job opportunities,there are other options, such asapprenticeships, working abroad,and working for yourself.The Youth Cabinet wants to workwith schools to set up the subject,that could be part of Personal,Social and Health Education (PSHE)classes, where top tips will be givenon how to start up your ownbusiness. Students would also haveto complete a survey to see if theywould make a good business owner.Your school may already offerenterprise workshops or thechance to run your own realcompany. There are alsonational projects you can getinvolved in such as the YoungApprenticeship scheme, YoungEnterprise, YoungBiz, and ShellLiveWIRE (websites below.)There may be some Alan Sugarsamong you yet!Some good websites are:www.youngenterprise.org.ukwww.youngbizuk.co.ukwww.shell-livewire.orgwww.businesslink.gov.ukwww.princestrust.org.ukwww.businesslink.gov.ukwww.apprenticeship.org.ukYouth Ambassador LaurenceChacksfield, said: “The projectwants to open people’s minds andpoint out that although runningyour own business is hard work,it is possible.”9

Don’tgambleyour lifeawayFor many young people gambling isjust a bit of harmless fun. It may meanputting spare change in a fruit machineor playing poker for pennies.But what starts out as fun canquickly turn bad. It is easy tobecome addicted to gamblingand once you are hooked it ishard to stop.A surprising number of youngpeople get addicted at anearly age.If you can answer yes to any ofthese questions you may havea problem:μ Do you stay away fromschool to gamble?μ When you run out ofmoney gambling do youfeel despair and need tostart to gamble again assoon as you can?μ Have you ever lied, stolen,or borrowed just to getmoney to gamble?μ Have you lost interest in yourfamily and just want togamble all the time?There are some things youcan do for yourself if youthink you have a problem:μ Stay away from anywherethat you will be temptedto gamble. If your localcafé, for example, hasa fruit machine don’tgo in there - the brightflashing lights willmake you want to startspending your money.μ Ask an adult you trust tolook after your moneyso you can’t spend iton gambling.μ At times when you arelikely to be gamblingtry to arrange to dosomething else so yourmind is distracted.μ Don’t be afraid to admityou have a problem andask for help.12Need Help?

BECOME A“Greenager”!The environment is an issue that has been closeto everyone’s hearts over the last few years.But how can you do your bit in thefight against global warming?She proposes that CO 2 emissionsfrom each journey made by carshould be calculated which can bean eye-opener to the people whodrive these vehicles, or you couldhelp reduce car journeys by usingyour 3in1 card and taking the bus.Chloe Simmonds, a Year 9 pupilat The Angmering School andalso a member of our West SussexYouth Cabinet, has some ideasabout what people her age can doto help look after the environment.Chloe, 13, likes to call peopleher age a “greenager”, whichis a shorter version for “greenteenager”.Campaigns such as anti-litteringand recycling are another of herideas. She thinks poster campaigns inschools will help to encourage peopleto recycle and be energy efficient.For more information, email theYouth Cabinet co-ordinatorpandora.ellis@westsussex.gov.ukShe believes young people shouldlearn more about the environmentat school and at home and feels allschools can and should becomeeco-schools, which means they areenvironmentally-friendly in termsof how the schools are poweredand run and in teaching greenhabits to the students.26

WORRIEDABOUT KNIVES?Knife crime has been in the newsacross the UK in recent monthsand many people are concerned.In West Sussex, however, the fear outweighs the actual danger.Sussex Police figures show that from April 2007 to June 2008 there were 256knife-related offences in the whole of the county, and many of these did notinvolve young people. When you consider there are 770,000 people living inWest Sussex that’s less than one offence per 1,000 people.Here’s some compelling reasons why carrying a knife is NEVER a good idea:μ People who carry a knife are more likely to be a victim - many who dieare stabbed by their own knife. There is no safe place to stab someone.A knife in the arm or leg can kill just as easily as in the heart or stomach.μ Younger children often copy their older brothers and sisters. Theymight be tempted to stab and kill someone without realising theheartbreak it will cause their family.μ The courts send people to prison even if they are only with someoneelse who uses a knife but they don’t use one themselves.μ Young people have killed others with knives without really meaningto. They have to live with the tragedy both for themselves and forthe victim for the rest of their lives.Tips to stay safe on the street:μ Think ahead and plan your journey.μ Don’t walk alone at night in an area you don’t know and avoidshortcuts like alleyways and waste ground.μ Don't wear headphones. They make you less aware of possibledangers around you.μ Avoid confrontation, walk away rather than make an argument worseor get violent.Call Sussex Police on 0845 60 70 999 or Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111to report someone who is carrying a knife.More advice: No to knives - www.ntk.org.ukFear and Fashion - www.fearandfashion.org.uk31
