Maybe the media needs to re-adjust and lay its focus on the positive achievements of young people.

If they can't do that maybe we need to ask if there are enough opportunities for young people to express themselves positively.

Maybe too the government needs to step in to make sure the opportunities, the successes and the photocalls reporting the successes actually happen.

When youngsters see things being achieved in other areas of the country they have positive role models to emulate.
