If I were elected Young Mayor I would offer a loud and opinionated voice for the youth of Newham. The youth are stereotyped in such a manner that it is disgraceful.

People need clarity about the conduct of the majority of youths. Today's youth have been hijacked by those whom both the youth and the adult world deem to be a shame. I will offer a clear voice, I will speak out, I will stand up and defend young people in the face of scrutiny.

We live in a time where the youth are deprived. In current times, we will grow up being robbed and will live our life in deprivation of education, jobs, health services and a whole host of other things the government are cutting, which we as the youth will bear the brunt of.

I know the streets, I know those affected, I will take people away from crime.

The upcoming Olympics provide a great opportunity for the experience of a lifetime, and the youth need to take this opportunity. There is little awareness, which is something I will address.

Together, we can make a difference.
