There have not been a time where I did not have something to say. But that is not a good thing. Adults don`t include kids in all the things, because they don`t want to listen to kids opinion,

I want to have a say in what I am watching on television and I also want to have a say about what clothes I am wearing. Then I would like to decide how my hair looks and how my room looks. I really want to decide what kind of music I hear and what I want to be when I grow up.

The thing I really really want to decide for myself is how long time I have to go to school, some things we kids just must decide for ourselves is what we eat for breakfast and when we are coming home andthe like. In the school, the teachers always ask about our opinion. But what we think, they never use any way and that makes me feel that teachers dont always care what we think. I think that adults dont include kids in decisions because they are afraid that they are right!

Here are some circumstances and matters which are important to me : that i can wear the clothes i want to, that i can do what i want to in my room, withaut my mom interfering. that i can decide what i want to do and what i don`t want to do. That i can eat what i want to, and when i want to. If i think about it there is not much i`m not allowed to do, so i don`t really have much to say. I know that i can tell my mom all my deepest secrets, and she won't tell it to anyone. I don`t think that there are many boys and girls who can trust their perents like i can. I don` t think that there ever was a time when i really wanted to say something and they told me not to.

I don' t know why adults sometimes don't include kids in there decision, I think they schuld because they have a opinion too, but some times i think that their parents forget it. Now I don't have more to say so i stop.

Everyone wants to have a say in marrers. Here are some of my matters.

• I want to decide, what I watch in television.
• I want to decide, what clothes I´m wering.
• I want to decide, how my hair looks like.
• I want to decide, what music I listen to.
• I want to decide, what I´ll be when I grow up.-I want to decide, I´m eating.
• I want to decide, how my room is arranged.
• I want to decide, how many beers I´m drinking.
• I want to decide, when I´m doing my homework.
• I want to decide, what I spend my money on.

I think that adults, don´t always include children in decision, becaus they don´t think, children are old enough to have an opinion.

Anna from Denmark

Here are some circumstanders and matters there are important to me: My family is very important to me. That i can wear the clothes that i wont to. That I can be the master in my own room.That I eat what i wont to, and when i wont to.That i can say my opinion. That my frinds treat me, like i treat them. that people respect me like i respect them. That my teacher's show me mutual respect. And last but not least my animals, they are very important to me.

If my parents denied something there are important to me, then i feel sad but then i think about it again, and maybe it wasn't so important anyway. I think it is because they care about us.

How can I be heard !

1. I think it is very important, that people are not afraid to say what they want to say.
2. I think that it is our decision, what kind of education, we want to have.
3. I think that it is good, that we can dress, like we want to in school .
4. I think that it is our decision, what we are going to do in our sparetime.
5. I think that every family in the world, should have an animal, maybe a dog or a cat, so the children learn to have a responsibility.
6. I think that it is very good, that we can eat, when we want to.
7. i think that children should get a lot of exercise.
8. i think that we should get a lot of fruit and a lot of healthy food.
9. i think that we should have, a lot of fun every day.
10. i also think that everybody should have a home.

Kasper, Tina, Mikael, Anna, Diana, Julie,

Thank you for your emails. I found your town on the map. You're just south of Silkeborg, aren't you.

Some of you said you should be able to decide what clothes you wear and how you do your hair. Do you think there are limits? It's fun to wear special clothes for parties and it's fun to do things with your hair. Do you think your parents would be right to let you go to school like that?

Tina said everyone should have an animal. I think this is a nice idea. We can learn more than responsibility, I think. Everyone says that a dog is man's best friend. Maybe we can learn to trust each other a little bit like dogs trust their owners? Do you think so?
