A lot of the time it feels like politics doesn't work for young people the way it should – too often people are focused on dividing 'us' from 'them' rather that working as 'we'. I've already spent 2 years representing young people on a local and national level, and the best feeling in the world is making change – making life just that little bit better. I want to be an MSYP because we deserve change: through better education, stuff to do outside of school, and cheaper public transport. And that's what I'm running to deliver.

I want to be a MSYP because Glasgow Anniesland is a community of many people from different walks of life.
I believe our area could be improved by more clubs and opportunities for young people to meet and gain qualifications like first aid. First aid is a very important skill that everyone should have the chance to learn the basics of as it can make change to the place we live like more supplies like defibrillators being installed. I think there should be more secondary places for young people to gain support and supplies for school. Everyone deserves to have their thoughts heard as young people are the next generation.

I want to be an MSYP as many issues affecting young people are either overlooked or decided by adults, such as the phone ban. I want to be a voice for young people to communicate any issues that are troubling them and to allow for more younger voices to be heard. I want to make clear to young people that they can have their concerns listened to without judgement or fear as they also matter .

I want to be an MSYP because I think young people should have a say in the decisions that affect us. Sometimes adults make decisions about young people without properly listening to what we think, and I want to help change that. If I became an MSYP, I would represent young people in my area and make sure their opinions, worries and ideas are heard. I would like to help make positive changes in areas such as education, equality and mental health. I also want to encourage more young people to get involved and feel confident sharing their views. Being an MSYP would help me improve my communication, teamwork and leadership skills. I am willing to listen to different opinions, work with others and speak up about important issues. Most importantly, I would take my role seriously and make sure the young people I represent stay at the centre of my work.

I want to become an MSYP because I want to make sure that the constituency becomes more vibrant by covering the area in people’s art, encouraging more people to walk and go outside without gentrifying it.
As well as going from there on how organisations can create opportunities that young people will know treat them with care and respect. These opportunities are meant for all young people.
And I want young people to also be aware there are multiple paths to education that they might want to take which could give an overall make it easier for young people, since everyone is different, and just raise awareness and reduce shame around it.
And I already met a lot of young people from all over, and I want to reach more because as simply put young people like you and me deserve respect, to be treated fairly, and to be seen.
