Racquel Simpson,Youthlink Writer

You know you're important to us, right readers? Well then, it is only reasonable that we hear what you have to say about Youthlink. Through Feedback, you can let us know what you think about the photos and articles. Feel free to also share what, if anything, we can do to make the paper more fun for you and your friends. This week, find out what Rory, Jody-Kay, Pinky, Shay and Stacy-Ann have to say.

Rory, 18:

Yow, the Youth View Awards edition (February 16-22), was fabulous and YL showed it off well, although none of you guys interviewed me! What's up with the after-party though, where is that part of the coverage? Anyway, the feature was all right, in terms of you guys putting in a chart, the round-up and a little vox pop.


Jody-Kay, 17:

How you people can show off so? Everything you do, you have to add a little something to it (lol). Like in Lyrics you add some comments from youths about the song and the artiste. This shows that YL is different, and I like that. 'Unnu nuh just dash dung something suh; unuh put a little spice pon it (lol).'


Pinky, 18:

I appreciate the effort that Youthlink has been putting out. Since I've been reading the paper, I've found it to be very reader- and youth-friendly. Have you ever considered the Youthlink crew launching activities within schools so that readers can get to interact with the writers and so on?


Shay, 17:

Regarding the Say What features, does it really matter if certain artistes sing trash? Look what happened in 2009 with The Merital's My Money Ha Ha. Though many agree that the lyrics are utter nonsense, I've seen them sing it over and over because it is catchy and the rhythm sounds good. Highlighting these artiste's folly lyrics might be a good way to make youths see that even the most popular of the cut says crap. While you're at it, you could add Lil Wayne to that list for sometimes rapping rubbish.


Stacy-Ann, 20:

The Western Link writers usually bring some interesting stories, for example, the one which featured female youths in the visual arts field. It offered something very rear, from my point of view. Why can't they get at least one more page?
