Election Special: HIT or DISS?

1 min read
Sex education at school? HIT. It's important to talk about the feelings that come with sexual relationships. I don't think just highlighting the horror stories works. It would be effective to bring people in who have personal stories to give talks.

Cheryl Cole? DISS. I feel sorrier for the people in Africa than I do for Cheryl Cole, even if she does get more media coverage. I'm not denying she's in a difficult situation, but there are thousands of people across the world going through the same thing, if not worse.

Raunchy images? DISS. How are real girls meant to live up to airbrushed Barbie lookalikes they see in the media? Some young girls want to be like them so much that they mimic their dress sense and behaviour. As a result, they are not respected and are taken advantage of.

Politicians? HIT and DISS. It's unnecessary that they get paid expenses when they're on huge salaries. I think they should all live off Jobseeker's Allowance for a week and visit the rundown areas of the UK.
