You're at school, and are being bullied. You feel like you have nobody that understands you. You're sent to the school nurse, and your friends do not believe you. So who do you turn to?

Because of lack of support, understanding and opportunities, most people with Autism find it impossible to get a job. My mission is to prove that by giving Autism a chance, those that suffer with it CAN put something back into society and work to support themselves and their family.

Keeping It Real is a campaign to encourage young people to love their natural bodies and not be influenced by what they see every day in magazines, on websites and the television. Fake images of models have a negative effect on people of all ages. I’d like to change that.

Where is the Love is a campaign to encourage young teenagers to wait before rushing into sexual relationships. My aim is to give teens the confidence to say NO to sex until they’re ready, and in turn reduce the number of teenage pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases.

I am a Dance student in my second year at college. As part of the course I have had to spend one hour a week in an integrated dance class with young people who have severe mental and physical disabilities.The class has opened my eyes to what they can do, and how much joy they get out of doing something they love. Because of this, I applied for, and was given the job of assistant dance teacher at my local council-run arts venue, where I did the same job with a different group of people.I have grown close to both of my groups and can now see that they are "not just the tree in the corner", but on a stage, can be the brightest star to shine.The campaign is to get people to see just how much these young people can do, regardless of any conditions or symptoms they might have.

Avatar from YEP: Young People With Eating Disorders campaign

Having studied Media Studies, I am aware of the dangers we young people face daily in society. Having the 'ideal' size 0 figure thrust at us on a number of formats, it leaves us vulnerable to suffering from low self-esteem, reduced levels of confidence, and sometimes even eating disorders. My campaign is to both raise awareness, and to help our young sufferers, and those interested become more involved in the community, and be able to speak out about the effects these devastating illnesses have on not only their own lives, but of their loved ones also. I plan to get this heard as much as possible, and also for more help and guidance given to those out there so desperately in need of support.
