There are numerous studies showing how events like floods, fires, drought and harm to animals as a result of habitat destruction are affecting the mental health of young people, who now face even more uncertainty about their future because of the pandemic.

I would introduce more selective state schools into the education system. It is clear from the few remaining grammar schools that at GCSE and A-Level, selective state schools far outperform their non-selective counterparts.

I would swap the roles of teacher and student. Pupils could see and understand how much pressure and stress teachers are under and it would also remind teachers how stressful and hard it is to be a student.

I think the best way to get a child into books is to encourage them from an early age. In primary schools or even nurseries there can be a book that should be read every week to the children at home; the book would then be followed up in class. This would encourage the child to enjoy books and the parents to spend time reading to their children.

One thing many students fail to realise is that requests take time. They think that, once they ask for something it will be done in a week. But it is not that easy.

Doing a traineeship has turned out to be the making of me and has not only helped boost my confidence, but has set me up for a better future.

I would make sure that young people are taught about finances while they are at school. When they leave school or college they will get a job and need to manage their money, pay bills and be self-sufficient, but no one actually tells young people how to do this.

I would lessen the pressure schools and colleges put on students in making career choices and instead help students find their passions and pursue them. Young people are under so much pressure to make the right decisions that they often forget about, or put aside their true passions.

I didn't notice anything was wrong until February 2010, when I found a lump under my arm. I wasn't concerned, even though I had lost weight and felt tired. My GP told me I was just a tired teenager.

I first started the Fun and Friendship project in September 2009, but it wasn't until January 2010 that I received Children in Need funding for three years. The work I did during the project included a variety of media activities, such as video and film production, radio, music technology and animation.

I did not like school very much. For some reason, I had to work harder than everyone in my class. I had some tests and I found out that I am dyslexic. I did not really understand what that meant.
