For my leisure activity i would go to my friends' house and i would chat to them for a while about school and stuff.
annoyed because we were not causing any trouble
Music lessons for guitar bass singing piano and drums
Increasing the monitoring of usage of public facilities and the surrounding area to ensure safety
Stamping out those engaged in anti-social acts with harshers sentences and better enforcement.Education for all removing stereotypes.
Unfairly treated for my age group if this had of been other adults it is unlikely that they would have been treted in the same way
courses involving young and old people to interact
I would purchase a gym membership and attend daily
opening a gym and a gymnasium for young people which had a low cost membership as many gyms today have a very expensive membership price which many young people are unable to afford
I felt discriminated against as they were accusing us of doing something bad
expressing more frequently the positive contributions which young people make today for their community and  decreasing their focus on highlighting only he negative aspects
they should spend this money on creating more facilities for older children and teens eg ten pin bowling ice skating go karting etc
Attending social activities ie Guides Youth fellowship
Reduced fees into lesuire centres and activities for young people
More Positive media of young people and the good things they achieve and do.
If i had the time and money i would like to go horse riding or perhaps learn how to sail or windsurf as we have a boat etc. but i haven't learnt how to use it myself
Spend it on more clubs etc in smaller communities which would encourage people from the coutryside or in isolated places to use them and meet more people
Annoyed embarrassed and shocked because we weren't doing anything wrong
Have shows on TV to show what life for teens is really like we don't all drink skip school take drugs etc.like what is portrayed in other shows such as Skins""
That they are putting themselves at risk when they go out and get drunk on the streets or when chatting to people online that they don't know.
More initiatives to encourage sport and leisure amongst young people.More opportunities to gain skills in a fun way.
Build more parks with things such as a place for skateboarding and long paths for walking and cycling.
Angry because we were not doing anything wrong
Have more things in the news about the achievements of young people not just the bad things some do.
i would suggest they invest more in the facilities available to local community centres and the courses and activties offered there.
this made me feel insignificant and inferier as if i were being treated like a child.
show more postive views of young people instead of the immature rowdy teenagers that are usually portrayed throughout the media.
Build more areas for children to rlax and play use old buildings that currently arent being used for anything its a shame to see them waste
Give us a chance. Not all teenagers are bad.
its not exactly the leisure activity that matters it is the company that your in such as friends and family because you can make anything good fun with the ones you love so money or access wouldnt be an issue it is just the time because school work is ver
it made me feel angry as i was doing no harm and feel as if other young people that are out on the street causing trouble are giving other good teenagers a bad name.
focus on the good things that they do too like helping out in the community and print that in the newspapers and not just the anti-social behaviour that goes on.
cinema music concerts swimming yoga gym fitness classes
more areas for teenagers to socialise rather than out on street
bad. as if i was doing something wrong. when the real reason we were standing there was because there was nowhere else to go.
create a more positive attitude towards young people in the media
Improvement of facilities better advisability for different age groups
They could be praised for the good things they do rather than just noticing the bad some youths may do
I would like to do horse riding and badminton.
They should ensure that there is plenty of activities for everyone to do no matter where they live throughout Northern Ireland.
I think that it needs to be shown that most young are good and will do their best to do others. maybe by highlighting it on the news instead of just the negatives.
Like I was trespassing on someone else's property even though I wasn't
Make it clear how much pressure they are under
an ice bowl or somewhere safe that is open later at night
annoyed that i cannont be trusted because im a teenager
listen to them for a change dont think you know whats best for us without asking

Something extreme where i can get an adrenaline rush like:Sky divingBungee jumping
on making gym memberships to goverment run leisure centres much cheaper for students and applying student discounts to all government run organisations

Have more positive media especially in the news
I would go shopping more often if money wasn't limited. I would also go to the cinema more often.
Build more areas for teenagers to hang out. Should have more cinemas etc.
There should be more positive stories about young people in the media. Not every young person stands at street corners with guns and knifes. Nor are they always drunk/drugged.
More facilities for people over 16 but under 18
More positivity towards young people more opportunity's for young people to do well.
Many young people find it hard to say no and think its okay to give in to pressure and it will make them fit in.
Ensure teachers choose teams etc based on talent and attendance and not favourites
like  we didnt have a right when we did!!

treated with a little more trust and respect taking note of their points of view
More indoor things for teenages eg wall climbing lazer quest
People shpuld not judge us all the same. Its the same in every group of people the minority always give young people a bad name. We are not all like that.
They shouldn't they should put it towards lowering university fees
if a youth club does something possitive tell people. more publicity when young people help out in there local area. more oppurtunities for young people to prove they aren't all bad.
More sports centres that children/young people can enjoy for example that have swimming pools dance classes etc. Fun activites.
annoyed - behaviour f some young people give us a bad reputation - assumed by public (especially older people) that we are all the same
use media to portray positive images of young people eg. volunteers and show what we contribute to society
people getting more involved with the youth
Provide more equipment for example balls and hurling sticks as these can be expensive for those who have failed to aquire a part time job and have to ask their parents for money.
If the media portrayed a different side to the young society today. Those who aren't out drinking taking drugs smoking or vandalizing but those who are making a positive impact on the community in which they live.
No as I am fortunate enough not to have experienced anything like that.
cheaper leisure activities for both girls and boys
that people do not judge young people by how they are portrayed by the media

if the media didnt portray young people so negitively then they would act so negitively!!
shopping if i had the money and going out more with friends if i had the money and there where more facilities
It didn't bother me to much its normal but shouldn't be. A little unfair and judgmental of the accuser.
I think the older people should just remember what it was like to young.
If someone is really out to take advantage of you they will usually try there best and when it is over the internet it is hard to know if the person is genuine or not usually it is easy to tell but that is only the blatant fake's there are some that are s
clubs and societies in schools chance for people to become involved in sport and other activities easily through school
More media surrounding positive aspects of young people
i would enjoy doing skiiing or motor bike racing
they should open better community centres and more parks but dont put alleys in as groups of people tend to hang around in these areas which then in turn put people off
very annoyed as we were doing nothing wrong. we had nowhere else to go as in mount eagles the club is only open once a week and for one hour which is pointless
stop giving the impression that people with their hoods up are always going to be nasty and want to start a fight
an awareness could be made of how young people are treated
I would love to play basketball as often as i could but there are no courts in close proximity i also enjoy drawing and arts &amp; crafts as well as fashion presentation &amp; cooking.
By creating more organisations to get kids involved in a healthy &amp; active lifestyle as obesity is going up amongst the whole population children need to be educated upon the benefits of a good physical help. With increasing petrol prices it is making
undermined as if i was some sort of human pollution littering the street i felt rejected from society to a certain degree &amp; lost my hope in the vision of equality in human treatment.
Getting them involved in the community i personally volunteer at the local youth club &amp; undertake regular charity work. I feel that my community is a lot more willing to treat me equally and chat to me in the street
I was witnessed to a rape the boy who commited the crime was only 2 years older then his victim but because we all hung around as a group he was integrated &amp; respected &amp; therefore the victim felt unable to report him.

Guilty for something I hadnt even done and humiliated in front of the public
Media portraying more of the positive things about other people e.g. charitable works and their general views on all issues.
build new faclities in Belfast as the best sporting faclities are approximatly 30 minutes away in University of Ulster Jordanstown. More tournaments within which will inmprove the friendly competitiveness between schools and clubs.
Other generations need to be aware that it is not all young people causing trouble on the streets. And the media needs to focus more on the positive aspects of young people.
This type of grooming is becoming more and more frequent due to the increase of people using social networking sites such as twitter bebo and facebook.

Skiing if there was an indoor ski slope near me
More things to do for all age groups e.g. more ice skating rinks
Show more of the good things young people do
In my personal opinion too much emphasis is on how people see young people to be threats. In areas of England fair enough they are larger and not everyone knows each other but in Northern Ireland usually people know who is and isn't a vandal. I'm sick of
They should get opinions from all different types of young people. I personally feel they should spend this money in giving young people the oppertunity to do things they wouldn't have been able to do otherwise. They should put the money towards opening n
Give young people more oppertunities to show that they are not all bad by providing more oppertunities to volunteer etc
If i had the choice to do any activity at all i would do gymnastics. I cannot do gymnastics due to the fact that i have scoliosis and it would hurt if i tried to do it
A bowling alley or an ice rink. Something the whole family can enjoy.
It made me feel as if i wasn't as important as the rest of the people around me just because i'm young. Older people think that just because we are young we will get up to bad behaviour but i know i wouldn't cause i respect the place i live in and the peo
If young people get opportunitys to prove to older people that they can be responsible like helping or volunteering around the local area
A girl in my school got attacked by a man walking home from school by herself in a public area. I don't think it's safe to go anywhere by myself now.
Give them something to work at and take care of boost there morale
I would like to spend time on my musical instrument because currently because of sport and homework I have little time to practise so more time would be a total gift.
Spend it focusing on sporting facilities geared towards teenagers for example gyms or gym sessions and other exercise classes. I feel that many young people are too embarrassed to go to a gym because of the adults and other users there. I also think it wo
Annoyed mostly because I wasn't doing any harm. My group of friends and myself where leaving a local park area after spending the day sitting talking and when walking through the car park we met another group of people from our year and we stopped for lit
More emphasis on young people who have made a difference e.g in charity at school in their local community and also giving young people better chances to do these things.
building more parks and having more youth centres for young people
Not sure portray good things young people do in the media

On school hockey pitches and tennis courts so we would not have to travel anywhere any time we wanted to play hockey or tennis :)

Spend more money on arts for young people; there is enough for sports already
More positive news stories on young people
Don't build any more play and leisure facilities in big cities but improve the facilities to make them easier accessible and more attractive to young people.

Depression. Fear. And in worse cases it may lead to attempted suicide.
Invest in my local area- Aghagallon. there is very little to do which results in most teenagers hanging around the streets drinking and misbehaving.
Shopping Ice skating Badminton Running.I would also start different activies like karate judo or fencing if they were available but they're not in my area.
A larger variety of activites should be available.
Annoyed because we weren't doing anything.
Improving the media's perception not all young people cause trouble etc.
Most people have little or no sex education and know little about drugs which could be used against them.
Make public transport better especially from small towns or villages where buses come every hour

they could spend the money on opening youth clubs at the weekend and get entertainment like quizz nights and karaoke nights and trips to ice skating etc.. which would take the young people off the streets that say they dont have anything to do and give th
uncomfortable as was not up to anything bad just standing talking
possitive arcticles about young people doing more charity work joining youth clubs and helping more in the community could be put in the media to improve the attitudes of young people
I would like to spend more time practicing my music as I find it difficult to find the time due to school work.  I would also like to spend more time with my friends at the weekend although lack of money prevents me from doing so.

it can make u feel angry upset annoyed disappointed. also make it very irritating how the adults believe most teens are like the 'ASBO' teens get upto no good. no everyone is like that.
People need to have more knowledge on the young population and realise everyone was young once its easy to get bored be influenced and that their isnt much for teens to do. we need more respect they want us to respect them. well we treat people how they t

They should create a place where it encourages people to make use of their facilities. They should have a place that can offer a range of things to do so that they over their services to everyone in the community.
It didnt really affect me very much as i have other places that i could go to.
By not labeling all of them with typical stereotypical remarks that do not necessarily fit every young person out there.
They will have emotional problems with regards to what happens to them.
i would attend a stage school although these can be extremely expensive and can take up a lot of time - I am currently doing my as levels and am constantly busy with schoolwork.

I have always wanted to do gymnastics but my nearest gymnasiun is Lisburn. I would like to se one in Dungannon Portadown or Armagh.
I don't think anything can be done because there will always be some young people who need to be looked on negatively.
i would like to take part in more sports but due to time restraints and not living close enough to sports groups amd my school having little facilities for female sports i am restricted to activites.

They should spend it on developing leisure facilities in smaller towns and villages so that the young people dont have to travel so far to do the activity and therefore it wont waste as much time travelling and it would cost as much for the activity as yo
It made me feel angry as they tarnish all young people with the same negative stereotypical views. It was very unfair as all of the time i was told to move on or not allowed into a shop I was doing nothing wrong.
