I want to be an MSYP because I don’t think young people should only be asked what they think after decisions have already been made. I want us to have a say from the beginning. I’m interested in mental health and the pressure young people can feel at school. I’ve seen friends struggle to get support or feel like adults don’t understand what things are actually like for us. As an MSYP, I would listen to young people with lots of different experiences and take their ideas and concerns to the people who can make a difference. I also want young people to know what happened after they shared their views, even if the answer isn’t always what we hoped for.
