By , Tuesday 02 May 2006

"I think it is a good idea to have a newspaper for children. The bad side is that First News is written by adults, and they could miss issues that are important to children." - Natasha, 14, Manchester

"The more services and products tailored for young people the better.However, this should not deter children and young people from readingother publications and newspapers too." - Rajay, 17, Coventry

"In theory a children's newspaper is a good idea but in practice it'snot necessarily functional, especially if written by adults." - Lotis,17, London

"Adults are not able to speak for children and though it's for childrenthey might still write negative things about children." - Hamza, 11,Westcliffe-on-sea
