An issue I feel strongly about:

Skills for the outside world including communication skills, budgeting, how to present yourself, this is all a part of life when we leave secondary school, but we don't learn it at school. Part of that outside world is politics.  We never see politicians at school.  They do not come and talk to us about what they do.  We are under 18 years so they don't bother with us.  The point is we can vote at 18 and for most of us leaving school at the end of 2007, we will be 18 next year and we need to learn now as we are this country's future.
