As an alternative to the Queen’s Speech, this Christmas Teens’ speech will air on MySpace at 3.10pm

The Teens’ Speech, to be aired on Christmas Day on MySpace (just after the Queen at 3.10pm) has listened to the hopes, fears and dreams of hundreds of teenagers over the last 50 days up and down the country. From Christians to Muslims, young adults with Asperger’s syndrome, a transgender teenager, rich kids to poor, these are Britain’s teenagers shown for once in their diversity rather than as a homogenous, faceless mass.

Here we see that teenagers are as afraid as anyone about the state of the world, awash in a sea of fears – of knife crime, violence, racism.
