Youth Parliament Elections 2015

My name is Cerys Pumphrey and I am standing in the 2015 Youth Parliament elections to be the Member of the Youth Parliament for Dorset, and I need your help.

This past year, I have been listening to what matters most to you, and I have built my manifesto around these issues. I am standing in this election to campaign to stop the ignorance and stereotypes of mental health issues.
31% of teenagers that suffer from mental health issues are subject to discriminatory language, like ‘freak’, ‘attention seeker’, ‘weirdo’.

The charity Depression Alliance estimates that each year there are around 19,000 suicide attempts by UK teenagers- we must act to stop this now. Help me to make this manifesto come true by voting for me in the week beginning 2nd February.

We got to the House of Commons once, why not again?
