"It's not good complaining about it now, tell the electorate who voted for Tories. (and don't give me rubbish about Lib-Con partnerships, the liberals do jack all.)"

Asher Jacobsberg commented on Abbie Grace's blog post What good is a quiet Student Voice?"Abbie, I think you're right, you should be a key part of any campaign about this issue and your school should support you. You might want to talk to your Citizenship teacher about this to see if they could be an ally for you in discussing this…"
Abbie Grace posted a blog postWhat good is a quiet Student Voice?
As young people I highly doubt you have not heard, or in fact become enraged, at the latest headlines regarding the possible rise in university tutition fees. However, on the 10th of November NUS is arranging a demo in London against this decision and thousands of students will surely take to the streets to stand up for a decision which, despite not affecting them directly, is a student issue.Now, I am currently Head Girl at my school; a school which prides itself on its active student voice…See More

I think its brilliant and plan to try and incorporate it as part of a Leadership event I am organising for my school! Its all very well have the skills you are taught in school...but if people dont eel that…"
Denise Donnelly commented on Abbie Grace's blog post An Education"HI Abbie, I agree with you, although I was brought up in an Irish Catholic family and studies religion for 7 years, I regard myself as a non denominational liberal Christian I haven't been a practicing Catholic since I was 8 ( I take what i…"
Abbie Grace posted a blog postAn Education
I was recently reading an article about the teaching of sexual education in schools with regards to different religous views. In particular, this article referred to the many complaints from the Christian parents of students at several junior schools. The issue they raised against the teaching of basic sexual education to their children was that it "perverted basic christian virtues". Now, I am not a Christian so therefore may be misinterpreting something here, but I cannot understand how any…See More
Abbie Grace commented on Maherunesa Khandaker's blog post Innocence Lost In Paradise"I think the idea of a "child conservation programme" (for want of a better term) is really interesting... Its very 'trendy' to go abroad and help build schools and prevent deforestation... but child prostitution is perhaps a less…"
Abbie Grace commented on Simon H's blog post UK Youth Parliament - 'Making their Mark'... for the better?"What an interesting idea... I think there are some definate benifits of having a UKYP.. but I agree that the lack of communiation between the MYPs and local youth is limited... I happen to know the local MYP in my area, but cant say I am aware of…"
Abbie Grace commented on Levi Alexandra Holt's blog post Should underage&pregnant girls be given 'special treatment.'"I think its a really controversial issue... no one can deny the number of pregnant teens should decrease.... but in my opinion prevention is better than cure (or in this case punishment). Admitadly it is often the girls own irresponsibility, but…"
Abbie Grace commented on Alisha Burman's blog post Fairtrade, Arms trade and my campaign to control amrs trade :)"Hey, checked out your website.. sounds really interesting!
Im trying to encourage topics like this to be more actively taught in my school.. would be really interested to see you resources if you're happy to share?

Abbie Grace commented on Abbie Grace's blog post "The Children of Gaza""Of course boys in England play with toy guns.. but it is the context within which the children in the documentary play which I found unsettling... the fact that a boy of 11 can have so much hatred for the Jews, or Jihad or anyone for that matter,…"
Nusiba Taufik commented on Abbie Grace's blog post "The Children of Gaza""I don't think it's just children in Gaza that like playing with toy guns, children here in England like playing with toy guns, in fact at one point during the documentary the narrator says like children the world over, children in Gaza…"

Abbie Grace commented on Abbie Grace's blog post "The Children of Gaza""Exactly; whilst little children in England play mummies and daddies with their toy prams and cars... Children in Gaza were shown mimicing water torture and playing at terrorism... it would be totally unacceptable over here and yet it is encouraged…"
Danica M commented on Abbie Grace's blog post "The Children of Gaza""I never really thought about this until now. Children will always be around wars, they can't be hidden and it's not like like all their lives will be spared by enemy soldiers. Children will always pick up on what the adults do,…"

"The Children of Gaza"
The Children of Gaza. Before watching the documentary I admit I hadn’t thought past the children who might be injured directly in conflict. The dispatches documentary on channel four was a real eye opener to the long term injustice that exists without, it seems, much support. "Where are the human rights organisations?" one man asked... Of course it would be naive to expect a counsellor for each child scared by…

Knife Crime and Failures in the System
32,000 - 50,000 people a year. The statistics vary. Either way knife crime is clearly a problem amonst young people...the fact is inescapable and undeniable. However, put it this way... just 8,196 girls who are under 16 get pregnant every year in the UK. A mere 3000 people die as a result of drugs every year in the UK. Strange then isnt it that the majority of (if not all) social education lessons revolve around such issues. Why is it that our education system skirts around the topic that…
