I think Balbriggan is a very nice town.But there are small problems that do happen,like vandalism the lovely parks get ruined.The swings sometimes get broken which is a shame.

# data[].attributes.body
We feel that most of the time Balbriggan is safe but sometimes it can be dangerous. Our rights are respected in some parts of Balbriggan but not fully. We are ready to vote on Friday, we hope you are too! It's up to you your vote is up to you.

I think it is not safe for children to walk home because of bullies , they are never letting anyone to play in the park ex-sect themselves, they always bulling people and saying bad words.

Balbriggan is a good place but some times our rights are not respected in because some time I go to a park there are always teenagers who bully me and my friends and take our stuff away from us.And there are always teenagers who slag us becuase we are black .

Nowadays it is dangerous everywhere, even in Balbriggan,I try to be careful wherever I go, I feel safe only in my home with my family. Beware of strangers and dangerous drivers and stray dogs.

I don't feel safe in Balbriggan, there are lots of people walking out on the road shouting and saying bad words. A teenager followed me once when I was going to my friends. Can't play outside on the road because people speed in their cars and the playgrounds are vandalised and full of litter and teenagers.

This week our class learned bout age discrimination and how people are treated all over the world.   It does not matter if you are old , middle aged , in your adult hood or if you are young because everyone is equal and there is different advantages for each age.   The good thing about bout being young is that you can play and you don't have to work. the bad thing is cant really do any thing as a child because you might get hurt.   The good thing about being a adult is that you can vote , you can by any thing you want to by and can get married.   The good thing about being middle aged is that your children are grown up and you can afford better stuff. The bad thing is that you are a bit lonely.   The good thing about being old is that you get your pension and you don't have to go to work. The bad thing is that you are near your death.   In my opinion I think it does not matter what age you are and at any age you can do what ever you want.

Firstly I will talk about overall general enviorment of Balbriggan.

The area of Balbriggan I think is quite pleasant and has useful facilities. The library for instance or the clinic. We might take these things for granted.

Firstly I would like to talk about the right to be alive.

Every body has the right to be alive no matter how bad they are they should be able to pass away at the right time. In some places around balbriggan a number of people do not feel safe because of what they do Example: If someone is breaking  the law they put innocent people in danger physical or mental pain which may cause death. Which sometimes effects family's and other people you may know.

Secondly I would like to talk the right to practice your religion.

I have my own faith and many other people do to Example: Christian, Muslim, Hindu and other religions. In many Countries, Schools and other places you are not free to practice your religion. But  proudly I can say that is not the case in this country.

I say this country is one of the best in the world. :y

I can Safely say that  I have never shouted or ran away from some one when walking home from school. But I Sometimes have a feeling that I am being stalked  because of the bad environment, Children around me are not safe and are not speaking their mind because fear has overcome them so their either scared stiff and frightened. FROM the most I have heard is that there are  places that are not safe In balbriggan so out of that no one is le

well people when they pass by you they never say hi

or how are you that makes you say balbriggan dose not

have any manners at all. Not even the people that you

you know say hi when you pass. Dose that make you feel

safe?... for me no way!!!                                                            so I do not think that balbriggan has respect to children's rights.

Children have an opinion that could change Balbriggan but most adults have a better opinion. Most school's don't do votes or ask children for their opinion on stuff like we do. Children want to be heard because most of the time were not heard. What this blog is asking us is are we safe in Balbriggan and I think most children are happy saying what they think because as you can see we all have an opinion. I honestly am 50 percent happy in Balbriggan and 50 percent not. But I am happy we are being heard on this website now

Lots of teenagers are always going up to people and start slagging them for know reason.When I went in the park with my friend there was a boy bullying someone . Then he came over to me and boxed me for know reason and start bullying me.  Last year a new park was made and teenagers have already destroyed it. So I think that balbriggan would be a better place if teenagers would stop bullying,slaggin and  being mean with people and thinking all about their selfs.  so my opinion is that balbriggan is a sfafe place and a bad place so it is 50% 50% .

I do feel safe in Balbriggan because there are a lot of things the police and government don't know about.

The first thing that I feel isn't safe is that a lot of the play-parks in Balbriggan are being taken over by teenagers. Play-parks are safe places where kids can go to have fun. But with teenagers taking them over, they are no longer a safe place for kids. I live right next to a play-park that has been taken over by teenagers and I remember being bullied on three occasions. The most recent one was when I was eight years old. I remember they took my poncho and threw it in the bin! Luckily, a nice boy got it out for me. They have also set it on fire multiple times. That is violating the rule for a children to have a safe place to play.

Another right I think is violated is the rule to be looked after properly by a responsible parent. Lots of children in Balbriggan as young as the age of three are allowed just play on the streets and roads! In fact, that's what they do on my street! That means it is very easy for a child to get run over or the car could even swerve and miss the child, but crash the car in doing so. I do not think it would be the child's fault, of course, but their parent(s) or guardian(s) fault for being as irresponsible as to let their child play on the roads and streets.

The next rights that I think are violated are the rights to have your voice heard and to be consulted on matters that effect you. In B.E.T.N.S you get to vote and be heard on matters that effect us but in other schools don't get to do this. Maybe in other educate together schools you do but in most other schools you don't get to be heard. I think the government should let children vote. I think they should let them vote on matters that concern them, not on matters that don't concern them for example presidents and such. Also I think the government should listen to children. If you want your say then you have to write an official letter/email and even when you do that, they probably won't read it. I think the government should have people to read the letters/emails and write the important points that people want down for the government to read, for example, most people would like more clubs in Ireland.

I could spend the rest of the day going on and on about more human rights that I think are being violated but I am just going to quickly say that I know the government are doing their best but it isn't good enough. They have to try harder.

Ending on this conclusion I think that my human rights aren't being respected in Balbriggan

Well balbriggan is okay but the thing is that if you're walking home some teenagers can  say bad  words and you can be bullyied. In my estate my friend  was chase by a dog when the owner  of the dog was just looking at him being chase by the dog. He was almost beating by the dog and was crying ever since he has been scared to play outside.  It's okay to live in balbriggan as  long as their is more awearness of these kind.
