Derry young people wronged over rights
April 21, 2004
As young people, we were shocked when we recently found out — about our official rights as children through a UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.
Also as young journalists, we believe there is one right that is more important to us than others and that is the right to have our voice heard. Beyond this right, however, young people have almost 50 rights in total, according to the UN Convention.

I finally turned 15 years old! I wasn’t sure what the day would bring, so I rolled out of bed with more enthusiasm than usual to prepare for school and… my birthday party!
I floated through my classes as if in a dream and let my mind wander, thinking about all of the possible birthday surprises. When I got home, I was greeted by a brand new red motorbike.
My dad and I have been riding mountain bikes and motorbikes together for as long as I can remember, but before this bike, I had never been able to ride beside my father as an equal. But getting my own bike was that turning point. It was a coming of age gift, and my father’s acknowledgment that I was growing up.
The weekend after my birthday my dad and I took our bikes to a place where we could ride. That day I learned a lot in between the riding and falling and even some breaking of motorbike parts. I can still remember the look on my dad’s face the first time I started up my bike. Since then we have shared something not many fathers and daughters are lucky enough to have. I will be forever grateful for the bond between my dad and me, and it is no surprise he feels the same way about me.
