0:00:02 > 0:00:03Wey-yuh!
0:00:03 > 0:00:05When you're young, everything's an adventure.
0:00:07 > 0:00:11We're growing, bursting with ideas.
0:00:11 > 0:00:14And facing fresh challenges every single day.
0:00:14 > 0:00:18Stand back, and make sure you're wearing your goggles.
0:00:18 > 0:00:21I'm from one of six groups of children, all over the country,
0:00:21 > 0:00:24who are filming their lives.
0:00:26 > 0:00:27Oliver, are you all right?
0:00:29 > 0:00:30From high-rise tower blocks...
0:00:32 > 0:00:35Hi. Bye. My room is so big!
0:00:35 > 0:00:37..to our remotest islands.
0:00:37 > 0:00:40I love Mull!
0:00:40 > 0:00:43"Stop it! Stop it!"
0:00:43 > 0:00:44"We were only kissing."
0:00:44 > 0:00:46"I know, but stop it!"
0:00:47 > 0:00:52For six months, we've had cameras in our homes, clubs,
0:00:52 > 0:00:53we've even filmed ourselves.
0:00:57 > 0:00:58To share moments of love...
0:00:58 > 0:01:00You all right, darling?
0:01:00 > 0:01:01..loss...
0:01:01 > 0:01:03and drama.
0:01:03 > 0:01:04I told you. I'm not saying a word.
0:01:06 > 0:01:08Through our own eyes.
0:01:08 > 0:01:09BANG!
0:01:09 > 0:01:11Giving us a big voice...
0:01:11 > 0:01:13Cash!
0:01:13 > 0:01:16Let me count. Let me count this.
0:01:16 > 0:01:19..to tell you what we really think of the world.
0:01:19 > 0:01:21Wow, my mum's the tooth fairy.
0:01:21 > 0:01:23That's shocking.
0:01:23 > 0:01:27This week, how we see the world of adults.
0:01:27 > 0:01:28Money!
0:01:28 > 0:01:31Money! Ooh!
0:01:31 > 0:01:33The problems grown-ups face...
0:01:33 > 0:01:38They don't care about the people that haven't got jobs.
0:01:40 > 0:01:42..big life choices...
0:01:42 > 0:01:45I'm not going to force you to wear a hijab, though.
0:01:45 > 0:01:48It's about you. What you want.
0:01:48 > 0:01:51..and what we'd do if we were in charge.
0:01:51 > 0:01:53A person's life is more important than dog's life.
0:01:53 > 0:01:55I'm sorry, it is. It is.
0:02:01 > 0:02:03When you're an adult, you have to get a job,
0:02:03 > 0:02:05to pay for things and things like that.
0:02:05 > 0:02:08But when you're a child, you, like, don't notice any of that.
0:02:08 > 0:02:10You just, like, play and things like that.
0:02:10 > 0:02:13You go to school and be, like, "Oh, I don't want to go to school."
0:02:13 > 0:02:18When you're an adult you're probably going to miss the...
0:02:18 > 0:02:20the fun that you had being a child.
0:02:20 > 0:02:24Like, going on rollercoasters, playing on your Xbox.
0:02:24 > 0:02:29Being an adult is boring, because you have to go to work every day.
0:02:29 > 0:02:32You have to feed your children every day.
0:02:32 > 0:02:36You have to drop them off boxing or football, anywhere.
0:02:36 > 0:02:38It's a bit tiring.
0:02:38 > 0:02:41I think the best thing about being grown-up
0:02:41 > 0:02:44is you have more freedom than when you're a child.
0:02:44 > 0:02:45You can do anything.
0:02:45 > 0:02:47You can go anywhere.
0:02:47 > 0:02:50And nobody tells you to clean your room.
0:02:50 > 0:02:51Yep.
0:02:53 > 0:02:58CHOIR SINGS
0:03:00 > 0:03:02A new key, here we go.
0:03:02 > 0:03:07'Located in the heart of Merseyside the Liverpool Cathedral Junior Choir
0:03:07 > 0:03:09'are having their weekly rehearsal.'
0:03:09 > 0:03:12One more of those, three...
0:03:12 > 0:03:15'Made up of children from all over the city,
0:03:15 > 0:03:20'the group regularly perform at special events in the region.'
0:03:20 > 0:03:22I just love singing.
0:03:26 > 0:03:30I like singing because it makes me feel happy.
0:03:32 > 0:03:36I went to the cathedral because they said that Beyonce used to be
0:03:36 > 0:03:40in a choir, and that's how she became a pop star, so... Yeah.
0:03:44 > 0:03:47I know, I thought I was going to miss that again.
0:03:47 > 0:03:51'Ten-year-old Jade has been a member of the choir for two years.
0:03:51 > 0:03:56This is my close, where we all play and stuff.
0:03:56 > 0:03:59'She lives with her mum and dad in Toxteth, is the youngest of four,
0:03:59 > 0:04:01'and the only girl.'
0:04:01 > 0:04:03We wanted a baby. We wanted a girl.
0:04:03 > 0:04:05It took a long time.
0:04:05 > 0:04:07When she come along, we were like, "That's it.
0:04:07 > 0:04:10"That's it. That's the one."
0:04:10 > 0:04:14So, yeah, I think we are slightly protective over her.
0:04:14 > 0:04:17My dad, what I've learned from my dad
0:04:17 > 0:04:19is just to have a sense of humour.
0:04:19 > 0:04:22Just have fun all the time.
0:04:22 > 0:04:25And with my mum, it's like...
0:04:26 > 0:04:29Um, be kind to other people.
0:04:29 > 0:04:33Read all the time, because that's, like, good education.
0:04:33 > 0:04:35Right, you grab that one.
0:04:38 > 0:04:42'Jade's parents believe church and religion will help her
0:04:42 > 0:04:46'become a good adult, and make the right decisions growing up.'
0:04:46 > 0:04:49It gives her family values.
0:04:49 > 0:04:51That's how it should be.
0:04:51 > 0:04:53It gives her a good foundation.
0:04:54 > 0:04:56I believe in the church.
0:04:56 > 0:04:59And how it can change you.
0:04:59 > 0:05:01Like, change you as a person.
0:05:02 > 0:05:05Can we just pass these over to you?
0:05:05 > 0:05:06Thank you.
0:05:06 > 0:05:11Today, we're donating some clothes and some food
0:05:11 > 0:05:16to the food bank so that other people can have what we have.
0:05:16 > 0:05:18So they don't get hungry all the time,
0:05:18 > 0:05:21or don't really have clothes for their kids.
0:05:23 > 0:05:25I want to look after people
0:05:25 > 0:05:28that haven't got as much things as I have.
0:05:28 > 0:05:31Or haven't got as much things as most people have.
0:05:31 > 0:05:33Like, they don't have...
0:05:35 > 0:05:38..houses or they don't have families.
0:05:38 > 0:05:41So they really need someone to look after them.
0:05:45 > 0:05:49'Jade's concern for others is about to be put to the test.'
0:05:51 > 0:05:52I see money!
0:05:53 > 0:05:55Money!
0:05:55 > 0:05:57Money! Ooh!
0:05:57 > 0:06:00I thought the money was actually for us, I was like...
0:06:00 > 0:06:01"Ooh!"
0:06:01 > 0:06:03I'm so rich.
0:06:03 > 0:06:06Oh! I love you. I love you.
0:06:06 > 0:06:10OK, girls, can we all take a seat, please?
0:06:10 > 0:06:11Have a sit down.
0:06:11 > 0:06:15The girls have to put themselves in an adult's shoes,
0:06:15 > 0:06:20and imagine they are responsible for handing out the Government's budget.
0:06:20 > 0:06:26The Government is about making decisions and sorting about
0:06:26 > 0:06:30what the country needs, or what it doesn't need.
0:06:30 > 0:06:35I used to want to be Prime Minister when I was younger.
0:06:35 > 0:06:39But I don't cos I don't want to live in Downing Street.
0:06:40 > 0:06:43But, still, I do want that cat that they have there.
0:06:46 > 0:06:50They've been asked to allocate funds to various departments -
0:06:50 > 0:06:53defence, health, education,
0:06:53 > 0:06:57environment and unemployment benefit.
0:06:57 > 0:07:00It's your job to think about
0:07:00 > 0:07:03all of the money that's been collected by taxes,
0:07:03 > 0:07:04and where it's supposed to be spent.
0:07:04 > 0:07:07I think health is the most important thing.
0:07:07 > 0:07:12It's actually because in America you actually have to pay, like,
0:07:12 > 0:07:13if you need medicine.
0:07:13 > 0:07:15Well, defence needs a lot,
0:07:15 > 0:07:17because they can learn how to use guns
0:07:17 > 0:07:20and they created new ways of surviving.
0:07:20 > 0:07:24- The environment should get the most. - Yeah, environment.- Environment.
0:07:24 > 0:07:27You get global warming and pollution all the time.
0:07:27 > 0:07:32I think defence should get four, and then environment should get five.
0:07:32 > 0:07:36I think we should give more to unemployment benefit,
0:07:36 > 0:07:39because it's one step away from being homeless.
0:07:39 > 0:07:42If you're homeless, usually nobody really comes to see you,
0:07:42 > 0:07:44and you're usually alone on the streets.
0:07:46 > 0:07:50Giving each money for each section is really difficult,
0:07:50 > 0:07:56trying to figure out, do you think that one really needs it?
0:07:56 > 0:08:00Or do you think it's already got
0:08:00 > 0:08:02lots and lots of money?
0:08:05 > 0:08:09In a way, you've got to be very, very careful that you don't
0:08:09 > 0:08:13accidentally give the wrong amount of money to one thing.
0:08:13 > 0:08:18Money is important because a world without it would be complete chaos.
0:08:18 > 0:08:23Everywhere. Fire on the streets, no-one to stop it.
0:08:23 > 0:08:24Argh!
0:08:24 > 0:08:26Chaos in the world!
0:08:26 > 0:08:29- We need help.- No, we don't.
0:08:29 > 0:08:30- Well,- I- do.
0:08:30 > 0:08:34After much debate, the group finally settle on their budget.
0:08:35 > 0:08:38Right then. So, how much money do you think we should give?
0:08:38 > 0:08:40Let's think about health.
0:08:40 > 0:08:41THEY ANSWER
0:08:41 > 0:08:43OK, what about defence?
0:08:45 > 0:08:47OK, environment?
0:08:47 > 0:08:50Of the 40 bundles of money available,
0:08:50 > 0:08:53they've given 12 bundles to health,
0:08:53 > 0:08:55five to defence,
0:08:55 > 0:08:5711 to education
0:08:57 > 0:09:01and four to the environment.
0:09:01 > 0:09:05Last on the list is unemployment benefit.
0:09:05 > 0:09:06Jade, I'll leave it with you.
0:09:06 > 0:09:07I want you to put the amount of money
0:09:07 > 0:09:10that you think should go to unemployment benefit.
0:09:13 > 0:09:15OK.
0:09:17 > 0:09:19I liked putting them on because it felt like...
0:09:21 > 0:09:23..I was making a difference.
0:09:23 > 0:09:27And I was going to help the people that really needed it.
0:09:27 > 0:09:31What we're going to do now is we are going to compare
0:09:31 > 0:09:34the amount of money that you decided you would give
0:09:34 > 0:09:37with the amount of money the Government decided.
0:09:37 > 0:09:40The group's allocation to these categories
0:09:40 > 0:09:43is similar to the Government's budget.
0:09:43 > 0:09:45Except for unemployment benefit.
0:09:47 > 0:09:50You gave eight bundles,
0:09:50 > 0:09:53the Government actually gave one bundle to unemployment.
0:09:53 > 0:09:55- Oh, my gosh!- Oh...
0:09:56 > 0:10:01I feel really sad that
0:10:01 > 0:10:06they don't care about the people that haven't got jobs.
0:10:08 > 0:10:12It's almost as if you're saying that these people can be unemployed,
0:10:12 > 0:10:15they can live on the streets, they don't need their family.
0:10:15 > 0:10:20It's terrible, we need to increase it, because homeless families,
0:10:20 > 0:10:21they're going to die.
0:10:23 > 0:10:25But some in the group think the amount of money
0:10:25 > 0:10:28the Government gives for unemployment benefit is fair.
0:10:28 > 0:10:32It's not important, because it's not, like, some people's fault
0:10:32 > 0:10:35why they're not, like, being able to get a job,
0:10:35 > 0:10:38but sometimes it's just, like, you're being unlucky,
0:10:38 > 0:10:42but you can go back to uni and get another job
0:10:42 > 0:10:44instead of being, like,
0:10:44 > 0:10:45being homeless.
0:10:47 > 0:10:50Like, someone in my family lost his job,
0:10:50 > 0:10:52but luckily they found another job.
0:10:52 > 0:10:56But they were so close to being homeless.
0:10:56 > 0:10:57But luckily they found another job.
0:10:57 > 0:11:00I'm sorry, but sometimes it's not other people's fault,
0:11:00 > 0:11:02it's just people being careless.
0:11:06 > 0:11:11My dad lost his job at, um...
0:11:11 > 0:11:13the airport.
0:11:13 > 0:11:16And then he didn't really know what to do.
0:11:20 > 0:11:22Weeks go by, and then months go by,
0:11:22 > 0:11:25and you think, "Wait a minute. It's getting a bit far now."
0:11:25 > 0:11:27Two months, three months, four months,
0:11:27 > 0:11:29and you're applying for everything.
0:11:29 > 0:11:33It made me realise that some people
0:11:33 > 0:11:36lose their jobs, and some people don't.
0:11:36 > 0:11:38Some people get sad about it.
0:11:38 > 0:11:41My dad's the one that, like...
0:11:41 > 0:11:43He was sad at the time.
0:11:43 > 0:11:45I mean, think she thought that,
0:11:45 > 0:11:47you know, I'm never going to work again,
0:11:47 > 0:11:51and then she started seeing people on the streets, and she said,
0:11:51 > 0:11:53"You're not going to go on the streets, are you?"
0:11:53 > 0:11:56I said, "Well, no. Why would I go on the streets? I'm not that bad."
0:11:56 > 0:11:58I suppose some people have got to go on the streets
0:11:58 > 0:12:00because they've got nothing.
0:12:01 > 0:12:04You know, you just take what you can, that's it.
0:12:04 > 0:12:06You can't always get the job that you want.
0:12:06 > 0:12:10But you get something that pays you money, and pays your bills.
0:12:10 > 0:12:16His friend looked out for him, and she got him a job at another place.
0:12:16 > 0:12:18And he's been doing well there.
0:12:18 > 0:12:21Although Jade's dad now has a new job,
0:12:21 > 0:12:23her parents didn't shield their daughter
0:12:23 > 0:12:25from this experience of unemployment.
0:12:25 > 0:12:28I am a bit tough love with her, aren't I?
0:12:28 > 0:12:30Cos the world isn't sweet.
0:12:30 > 0:12:33Communication's gone a lot with everything.
0:12:33 > 0:12:35You talk to children.
0:12:35 > 0:12:38You could most probably tell a child the worst thing ever
0:12:38 > 0:12:42in their kind of world, speak about it in their world,
0:12:42 > 0:12:44and they're fine with that.
0:12:44 > 0:12:46They're fine. As long as we communicate stuff.
0:12:51 > 0:12:55Being an adult is boring because they have to look after the house,
0:12:55 > 0:12:56and do boring forms.
0:12:56 > 0:13:03It's easier to be a child, because children know less,
0:13:03 > 0:13:07and they don't have to know what high vocabulary means.
0:13:07 > 0:13:10A lot of silly adults smoke and drink.
0:13:10 > 0:13:13It's not good, it's not healthy. It's not going to help them.
0:13:13 > 0:13:17When you're younger, then you can just stuff your face.
0:13:17 > 0:13:19But when you get older you're, like...
0:13:20 > 0:13:21And then that's all you can have.
0:13:30 > 0:13:34Bradford is one of the country's most diverse cities.
0:13:34 > 0:13:37And this cultural mix is reflected in the children
0:13:37 > 0:13:39who attend Bowling Park Primary School.
0:13:42 > 0:13:43Go on, in you go.
0:13:45 > 0:13:49This group of 10- and 11-year-olds meet weekly for their debating club,
0:13:49 > 0:13:52where they discuss life's big questions.
0:13:53 > 0:13:58Could you be friends with a robot?
0:13:58 > 0:14:01Could you be friends with a robot?
0:14:04 > 0:14:08Um... I think you...
0:14:08 > 0:14:10can't be friends with a robot.
0:14:10 > 0:14:15I think that you can be friends with a robot
0:14:15 > 0:14:19because you can play games with them.
0:14:19 > 0:14:23But what if the robot gets mad with you and it turns evil,
0:14:23 > 0:14:26and I just can't stand computer laughs.
0:14:26 > 0:14:28"Ha. Ha. Ha."
0:14:28 > 0:14:31It's horrible.
0:14:31 > 0:14:33You can't really play with a robot, cos it's not a human being.
0:14:33 > 0:14:36You can't really go to the park with it.
0:14:36 > 0:14:38And it can't comfort you,
0:14:38 > 0:14:41unless you have a real friend that can actually be there for you.
0:14:42 > 0:14:44She may not want a robot for a friend,
0:14:44 > 0:14:48but there is some technology ten-year-old Sahar is grateful for.
0:14:52 > 0:14:53Hi, Birnan.
0:14:53 > 0:14:56- 'Hi.' - What did you get from Primark?
0:14:56 > 0:15:00Sahar spends hours messaging her best friend and classmate, Birnan.
0:15:01 > 0:15:04Next Thursday is non-uniform day.
0:15:04 > 0:15:07'I know. I'm going to wear... Are you wearing a dress?'
0:15:07 > 0:15:11- I'm might wear jeans or something, I don't know.- 'Wear a dress.'
0:15:11 > 0:15:13- Why?- 'Come on.'- I think jeans...
0:15:13 > 0:15:15I don't know.
0:15:16 > 0:15:20But another item of clothing Sahar needs to think about.
0:15:20 > 0:15:23A headscarf, known as a hijab.
0:15:23 > 0:15:25This is the scarf I wear to mosque.
0:15:25 > 0:15:29I really like the colour, it's like a really nice navy one.
0:15:29 > 0:15:32And then I wear a black one, but the black one is in the wash.
0:15:32 > 0:15:35She's got a big decision to make about her identity
0:15:35 > 0:15:39as she enters adult society, and is trying to decide
0:15:39 > 0:15:42whether she's going to wear the headscarf to school.
0:15:42 > 0:15:45It just gives an idea of, like, what culture I'm from,
0:15:45 > 0:15:47what kind of person I am.
0:15:49 > 0:15:52I feel proud when I'm wearing it because it's who I am.
0:15:52 > 0:15:55It kind of, like, makes me a Muslim.
0:15:55 > 0:15:58Sahar is in her last year of primary education.
0:15:58 > 0:16:00At the end of this term,
0:16:00 > 0:16:02she'll be making the transition to secondary school.
0:16:02 > 0:16:04I'm scared how they might react
0:16:04 > 0:16:07cos if I'm wearing a scarf they might not be my friend.
0:16:07 > 0:16:09There's one girl, she's wearing a scarf
0:16:09 > 0:16:13and nobody will talk to her ever again cos she's wearing a scarf.
0:16:13 > 0:16:16It makes me feel a bit scared to wear it.
0:16:19 > 0:16:22As Sahar wrestles with who she'll be in the world of grown-ups,
0:16:22 > 0:16:25her debating group are comparing adult worries
0:16:25 > 0:16:27with the worries of children.
0:16:27 > 0:16:28What do you think?
0:16:30 > 0:16:32Do they worry about their high school?
0:16:34 > 0:16:37They might worry about the university they get.
0:16:37 > 0:16:38Children worry about bullying
0:16:38 > 0:16:42because if they get bullied they can't do anything about it.
0:16:42 > 0:16:45Children worry about presents,
0:16:45 > 0:16:49because sometimes children get, like, really bad presents
0:16:49 > 0:16:51that they don't like.
0:16:51 > 0:16:54And they try to be thankful, but on the inside,
0:16:54 > 0:16:56they don't really like it.
0:16:57 > 0:17:00I think it's better to be a child,
0:17:00 > 0:17:04because you don't have to worry about bills, or buying a home,
0:17:04 > 0:17:05or anything like that.
0:17:05 > 0:17:07You can just kind of... It's just there for you -
0:17:07 > 0:17:13you have food in the fridge, and you find new bedsheets. Yeah.
0:17:13 > 0:17:15What would you worry about when you're 20?
0:17:16 > 0:17:20I worry about the world, what's going to happen to it.
0:17:20 > 0:17:22I don't think they worry about that.
0:17:22 > 0:17:25They do. My grandad does, anyway.
0:17:26 > 0:17:32It's easier to be a child, because they don't have to deal with bills.
0:17:32 > 0:17:35They don't... They just can enjoy their life.
0:17:35 > 0:17:38They don't have to pay money for anything.
0:17:38 > 0:17:43Death. Death, because they worry about what if their parents die.
0:17:43 > 0:17:45I think I'd worry about that.
0:17:46 > 0:17:48Do you know how to spell death?
0:17:48 > 0:17:49Um...
0:17:49 > 0:17:54Adults worry about children,
0:17:54 > 0:17:58money and jobs, yeah.
0:17:58 > 0:18:01They worry about, like, God,
0:18:01 > 0:18:07or Allah, a lot of them are worried about whoever they follow.
0:18:07 > 0:18:08Marriage.
0:18:08 > 0:18:12- Marriage!- Marriage. - Yeah, they do worry about that.
0:18:12 > 0:18:13Their friends.
0:18:15 > 0:18:17Basically, disease.
0:18:17 > 0:18:20Jobs. Have you got jobs, yeah?
0:18:20 > 0:18:21They worry about jobs.
0:18:21 > 0:18:26It's going to be really hard as soon as I become an adult,
0:18:26 > 0:18:28because I'll be, like, "Can't I just be a kid?
0:18:28 > 0:18:31"All this stuff is really hard."
0:18:31 > 0:18:33What do you feel about how I look?
0:18:33 > 0:18:37Some of them worry because people, like...
0:18:38 > 0:18:40People look at them, and stare at them.
0:18:42 > 0:18:46Like, "Ew, I don't like your clothes."
0:18:46 > 0:18:48"Ew!"
0:18:48 > 0:18:50And you could go back,
0:18:50 > 0:18:52"Well, I don't like YOUR clothes."
0:18:54 > 0:18:55They're getting into arguments.
0:18:57 > 0:19:01I think they worry about, mostly, how they're going to...
0:19:01 > 0:19:03What people think about them.
0:19:03 > 0:19:06And what they can do to change themselves.
0:19:06 > 0:19:08That's what most adults worry about.
0:19:08 > 0:19:10But no-one needs to change themselves, because everyone...
0:19:10 > 0:19:12You're just you, and you don't need to change
0:19:12 > 0:19:15cos other people are telling you to.
0:19:15 > 0:19:21So hands up if you think it is better to be a child.
0:19:21 > 0:19:23Put your hands high up in the air.
0:19:23 > 0:19:30So, out of 12 of us, that's one, two, three, four, five, six, seven.
0:19:30 > 0:19:31OK.
0:19:31 > 0:19:36And then hands up if we think it's better to be an adult than a child.
0:19:37 > 0:19:41One, two, three, four, five.
0:19:41 > 0:19:42OK.
0:19:46 > 0:19:49The group may think it's better to be a child,
0:19:49 > 0:19:52but Sahar is still struggling with her big decision
0:19:52 > 0:19:55about whether to wear a headscarf to secondary school.
0:19:56 > 0:20:00A recent incident has even made her question wearing it in public.
0:20:02 > 0:20:04It was about eight, nine o'clock at night.
0:20:04 > 0:20:10And, basically, I was walking to get some things from my auntie's.
0:20:10 > 0:20:14And this white van, it had like two people, like, men inside it,
0:20:14 > 0:20:19and they started shouting, like, really racist things to me.
0:20:19 > 0:20:22They were calling, like, "Paki," this, that,
0:20:22 > 0:20:23"Go back to your country."
0:20:23 > 0:20:25And then they just started laughing.
0:20:28 > 0:20:30They had cars behind them, so they couldn't,
0:20:30 > 0:20:32like, wait, so they just...
0:20:32 > 0:20:37The cars were blowing their horns, so they just started to pass me,
0:20:37 > 0:20:38and I just carried on walking.
0:20:40 > 0:20:43I felt quite shocked because I didn't really expect it.
0:20:45 > 0:20:48It was just really a big surprise.
0:20:48 > 0:20:51And I just felt, like, a bit weirded out, a bit.
0:20:55 > 0:20:57Sometimes it did actually get to me.
0:20:59 > 0:21:02There are loads of mean people out there.
0:21:02 > 0:21:07They think that some people should be treated a bit different.
0:21:09 > 0:21:11I think everyone should be treated the same
0:21:11 > 0:21:14because it doesn't matter if you're different, or how you look,
0:21:14 > 0:21:17or what kind of belief you follow, everyone should be treated the same.
0:21:22 > 0:21:26Everybody's different, so I am different.
0:21:26 > 0:21:28You are different.
0:21:28 > 0:21:30Everybody's different.
0:21:30 > 0:21:34I like Shirley Temple, so I'm quite different to everybody else my age.
0:21:34 > 0:21:36If you are different, it will be hard
0:21:36 > 0:21:39because it will be hard to fit in. To be friends.
0:21:39 > 0:21:41No-one is the same.
0:21:41 > 0:21:44Everyone has their own personality.
0:21:52 > 0:21:56Nine-year-old Scarlett lives with her mum in Toxteth, Liverpool.
0:21:56 > 0:21:59Wow! I really want to explore this house now.
0:21:59 > 0:22:03She likes to do quite different things from some other kids her age.
0:22:04 > 0:22:10I'm into scary stuff, like horror and ghost stories.
0:22:10 > 0:22:13I always look at, like, old houses, and I always say to myself,
0:22:13 > 0:22:17"Those are the kind of houses I want to explore at night."
0:22:21 > 0:22:23Scarlett likes any abandoned houses,
0:22:23 > 0:22:26but especially this area, because we walk past it a lot.
0:22:27 > 0:22:30Her imagination just goes nuts.
0:22:30 > 0:22:32- I like this one.- Why?
0:22:32 > 0:22:36This one's my favourite because it's more creepy than all the others.
0:22:36 > 0:22:40My friends think I'm kind of funny and weird.
0:22:40 > 0:22:42But in, like, a good way.
0:22:44 > 0:22:46BREATHY TOOTS
0:22:46 > 0:22:49At home, Scarlett shares a bedroom
0:22:49 > 0:22:51with her seven-year-old brother, Corin.
0:22:52 > 0:22:56I do like the noise of the flute when people can actually play it.
0:22:56 > 0:22:58You can't play yet.
0:22:58 > 0:22:59OWL-LIKE HOOT
0:22:59 > 0:23:01SHE LAUGHS
0:23:02 > 0:23:05My relationship with my brother is...
0:23:06 > 0:23:08..I don't know, half and half.
0:23:08 > 0:23:13I do love him, but sometimes he can be a bit annoying.
0:23:13 > 0:23:15- TOOTING CONTINUES - No!
0:23:17 > 0:23:20If I had my own bedroom, I'd...
0:23:22 > 0:23:26I'd love it. It would just be everything I've always wanted.
0:23:26 > 0:23:28- Because of this!- Corin!
0:23:28 > 0:23:31Scarlett's wish is about to come true,
0:23:31 > 0:23:33as her family are going to move house.
0:23:35 > 0:23:39I'm packing my own bag because I'm going to have my own room.
0:23:39 > 0:23:44I feel a lot more grown-up because it's kind of like...
0:23:44 > 0:23:47I'll have my own space. I'll have my own place to...
0:23:48 > 0:23:49..express myself.
0:23:51 > 0:23:54Although she's looking forward to having her own room,
0:23:54 > 0:23:59big changes like moving house could be more of a challenge for Scarlett,
0:23:59 > 0:24:01as she's currently being assessed for autism.
0:24:03 > 0:24:06Autism can make you really good at stuff,
0:24:06 > 0:24:10but sometimes they can make you find things harder than other people.
0:24:14 > 0:24:17I do have a lot of things that I am good at.
0:24:17 > 0:24:19And I do have a lot of things that I'm not good at.
0:24:21 > 0:24:22Because of my autism,
0:24:22 > 0:24:27I can't talk to people the same as everyone else can.
0:24:29 > 0:24:33Stressful situations can be particularly difficult for Scarlett.
0:24:35 > 0:24:38Once you've lost Scarlett, she's gone.
0:24:40 > 0:24:44Looking at her feet, refusal to be engaged in anything.
0:24:45 > 0:24:47Totally overwhelmed.
0:24:48 > 0:24:50And then you can't get her back.
0:24:50 > 0:24:54If you've been in a house for a long time and you move,
0:24:54 > 0:24:55it can be quite...
0:24:56 > 0:24:57..scary, like.
0:25:10 > 0:25:12In the centre of Liverpool,
0:25:12 > 0:25:16ten-year-old Jade is becoming aware of the problems grown-ups face,
0:25:16 > 0:25:20and has decided to help people who've fallen on hard times.
0:25:20 > 0:25:23She's a very, like, mature child anyway.
0:25:23 > 0:25:26She's very, like, caring and thoughtful
0:25:26 > 0:25:29and I just can't knock that for her.
0:25:29 > 0:25:32Jade's father was recently unemployed for six months.
0:25:32 > 0:25:37She is now raising funds for a local charity that helps homeless people.
0:25:37 > 0:25:41I feel like I want to do something to help them,
0:25:41 > 0:25:46so that they have more food and more clothes.
0:25:46 > 0:25:49Warm clothes and clean clothes and shoes.
0:25:49 > 0:25:52I'll just pop mine a little bit higher than yours.
0:25:52 > 0:25:55Jade and her mum were part of a sponsored sleep-over
0:25:55 > 0:25:57that took place in the cathedral.
0:25:58 > 0:26:00This is it, Jade, where we slept.
0:26:00 > 0:26:04How cool were we, sleeping here all night?
0:26:04 > 0:26:06Remember, our heads were there.
0:26:06 > 0:26:08Our toes were down there.
0:26:08 > 0:26:12I feel rather special that we did sleep the night in the cathedral.
0:26:14 > 0:26:17It was really tough, sleeping on the floor
0:26:17 > 0:26:19because I'd never slept on the floor before.
0:26:19 > 0:26:20So...
0:26:22 > 0:26:24I would like to do it again, though,
0:26:24 > 0:26:26so we can raise even more money.
0:26:26 > 0:26:29Jade's mum has decided not to shelter her daughter
0:26:29 > 0:26:32from the problems adults experience.
0:26:32 > 0:26:36For me, it's about making our children aware of issues
0:26:36 > 0:26:39that really we might want to keep away from them,
0:26:39 > 0:26:43but I think it's important for them to be aware of.
0:26:43 > 0:26:46Jade was aware of the homeless in our city
0:26:46 > 0:26:48and I was quite touched by it.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53To me, it was important for Jade to take notice of things like this.
0:26:56 > 0:26:59Jade's visiting a centre that helps homeless people
0:26:59 > 0:27:01to hand over the money raised from the sleepover.
0:27:02 > 0:27:05- Hello.- Come on in, Jade.- Thank you.
0:27:06 > 0:27:08We are open every single day,
0:27:08 > 0:27:12and people that have been sleeping rough, on the streets,
0:27:12 > 0:27:16can come in in the morning and have breakfast and a hot shower,
0:27:16 > 0:27:18and get some clean clothes.
0:27:19 > 0:27:23We have a GP and a nurse that come every week
0:27:23 > 0:27:26- and this is all set up ready for breakfast in the morning.- Wow.
0:27:26 > 0:27:28And then this is the kitchen.
0:27:28 > 0:27:30Most of our food gets donated.
0:27:30 > 0:27:32So we have bakeries that deliver,
0:27:32 > 0:27:35we get local supermarkets giving us donations.
0:27:35 > 0:27:37And lots from the general public, as well.
0:27:37 > 0:27:41- There you go. And your Lucozade. - Oh, yeah.
0:27:41 > 0:27:43- Don't forget your Lucozade! - Thank you very much.
0:27:43 > 0:27:47- Can we give the money, please? - Of course we can. Of course.
0:27:47 > 0:27:49Thank you very much.
0:27:49 > 0:27:52We've raised over £600.
0:27:52 > 0:27:54That's fantastic, thank you very much.
0:27:54 > 0:27:59So that will cook hundreds of breakfasts for people every day.
0:27:59 > 0:28:02So you'll be feeding people, which is really, really good.
0:28:02 > 0:28:04So thank you very much.
0:28:04 > 0:28:06I never really knew it was going to help feed people,
0:28:06 > 0:28:11but now I do know, I feel loads more proud of myself and my mum.
0:28:13 > 0:28:16Having seen how the centre helps people,
0:28:16 > 0:28:20Jade's meeting Brian, who volunteers here and used to be homeless.
0:28:21 > 0:28:24- Hi.- Hi, Jade.- I'm Jade.
0:28:24 > 0:28:26How did you get here?
0:28:26 > 0:28:31Well, a very long time ago, these people that work here helped me.
0:28:31 > 0:28:34Did you used to live on the street or...?
0:28:34 > 0:28:37I slept on the streets, yeah.
0:28:37 > 0:28:39And it wasn't very nice, no.
0:28:39 > 0:28:43Especially on weekends cos all the people come out of the clubs,
0:28:43 > 0:28:46and they'd be waking you up and being horrible to you and stuff.
0:28:48 > 0:28:51So it wasn't very nice, being on the streets.
0:28:51 > 0:28:55So when I got a house and I had time on my hands,
0:28:55 > 0:28:58I thought, "I know, I'll come back and help them."
0:28:58 > 0:29:03Because they helped me. So I've been helping for about two years now.
0:29:03 > 0:29:06- Thank you very much.- It's lovely meeting you, thank you very much.
0:29:06 > 0:29:08- You take care.- Ah, cheers.
0:29:08 > 0:29:11I'm really proud of myself and my mum,
0:29:11 > 0:29:14that we managed to raise that much money.
0:29:16 > 0:29:20And I'm just really happy that we're, like, helping people
0:29:20 > 0:29:23that haven't got a home like that.
0:29:23 > 0:29:25We're really helping them.
0:29:31 > 0:29:34If kids was in charge of the world, it would be really fun.
0:29:34 > 0:29:36Do what you want!
0:29:36 > 0:29:42If kids were in charge, then I think the world would be peaceful.
0:29:42 > 0:29:45But still would be crazy
0:29:45 > 0:29:48because they'd be getting you to, like, have chocolate every day
0:29:48 > 0:29:51and, like, ice cream for dinner.
0:29:51 > 0:29:53And no going to school.
0:29:53 > 0:29:57If kids were in charge of the world then...
0:29:58 > 0:30:00No, I don't think...
0:30:00 > 0:30:02That's going to be a bad situation.
0:30:12 > 0:30:15In Hackney, the children of Pedro's Boxing Club
0:30:15 > 0:30:17are being put through their paces.
0:30:22 > 0:30:23Quickly, quickly, keep it going!
0:30:23 > 0:30:27Two, three, four, five, six, seven.
0:30:27 > 0:30:30The club was set up to keep kids off the street,
0:30:30 > 0:30:32and respect for others and discipline
0:30:32 > 0:30:34are at the core of the club's philosophy.
0:30:34 > 0:30:37Eight, nine, ten.
0:30:37 > 0:30:40- You said five seconds!- I lied.
0:30:40 > 0:30:41Today, the junior boxers
0:30:41 > 0:30:45get to think about how they'd improve things for the better.
0:30:45 > 0:30:48They've been asked to imagine they are mayor for the day,
0:30:48 > 0:30:51and to come up with ideas that would benefit the community.
0:30:53 > 0:30:56What problems do you think we have in Hackney?
0:30:56 > 0:30:59It could be something quite small.
0:30:59 > 0:31:01Do you know how when you're in shops and stuff..
0:31:01 > 0:31:04- Yeah.- ..and you lose things.
0:31:04 > 0:31:06I think there should be a lost property thing,
0:31:06 > 0:31:09a box or something in every single shop.
0:31:09 > 0:31:12Nobody likes losing anything, do they?
0:31:12 > 0:31:13But there could be other problems.
0:31:13 > 0:31:16So what other problems do we think we're facing here in Hackney?
0:31:16 > 0:31:22We could invent robot trash cans which walk around Hackney.
0:31:22 > 0:31:26Robot trash cans that would clean up all the litter? Yeah. And...?
0:31:26 > 0:31:28There's lot of violence.
0:31:28 > 0:31:30- Is there?- Yeah.
0:31:30 > 0:31:34That needs to stop so people can live their lives.
0:31:34 > 0:31:35I think you've got loads of ideas.
0:31:35 > 0:31:38So I want you to think about all the problems
0:31:38 > 0:31:41that you can think of that are happening in Hackney.
0:31:41 > 0:31:44- Lost property!- Lost property, something like that.
0:31:44 > 0:31:46Litter, anything you can think of.
0:31:46 > 0:31:49Violence, anything you think.
0:31:49 > 0:31:50All of those problems.
0:31:50 > 0:31:54And you have to come up with a new solution to those problems.
0:31:54 > 0:31:56Because you're going to be the mayor, OK?
0:31:56 > 0:32:02I do think it's cool to be the Mayor of London because you get to decide.
0:32:02 > 0:32:05But, also, you need to be smart at the same time.
0:32:05 > 0:32:09If I was the Mayor of London I will help a lot of people,
0:32:09 > 0:32:12like, to get a job,
0:32:12 > 0:32:14to get into the right school,
0:32:14 > 0:32:16to stop bullying happening...
0:32:17 > 0:32:21..to get more, better transport, more quicker transport.
0:32:22 > 0:32:24People really like that.
0:32:26 > 0:32:29The group must decide one law they'd like to pass
0:32:29 > 0:32:32which will improve life in their area.
0:32:32 > 0:32:35There should be more, like, bins.
0:32:35 > 0:32:37There's only, like, one on each street.
0:32:37 > 0:32:39Let's get in a little group.
0:32:39 > 0:32:42Why should airports be so far away from Hackney?
0:32:43 > 0:32:45They're only in Hackney, man.
0:32:45 > 0:32:49There's an aeroplane port just behind my house.
0:32:49 > 0:32:52We should have more PGLs. Parents get lost!
0:32:52 > 0:32:54That's true.
0:32:54 > 0:32:56Yeah, that's true, we should.
0:32:56 > 0:33:00We should have more, like, adventure playgrounds, more parks.
0:33:00 > 0:33:02So we could have more fun.
0:33:05 > 0:33:07The ball's there. Get the ball.
0:33:09 > 0:33:1211-year-old Salim has lived in Hackney
0:33:12 > 0:33:13with his family all his life.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Can you see me?
0:33:18 > 0:33:20Yeah, this is me.
0:33:20 > 0:33:21And this is my dad.
0:33:21 > 0:33:23- Say hello, Dad.- Hello.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25- You all right?- Yeah, I love my dad.
0:33:25 > 0:33:26This is my mum.
0:33:26 > 0:33:28- Mum, say hello.- Hello.
0:33:29 > 0:33:31This is Nasim.
0:33:31 > 0:33:36My little brother, and this is my little brother, Zihad.
0:33:39 > 0:33:41- Mum, I'm going to nip to the shop. - That's OK.
0:33:41 > 0:33:44Salim's about to start secondary school,
0:33:44 > 0:33:47and is enjoying his new-found independence.
0:33:47 > 0:33:48My area.
0:33:48 > 0:33:52Love it, love it. It's so good, so great.
0:33:52 > 0:33:57Growing up in this area for so long, I'm so used to it.
0:33:57 > 0:33:59I can play around, it's free.
0:33:59 > 0:34:03Go to the shops. There's also a mini park there, as well.
0:34:03 > 0:34:04There's lots of things to do.
0:34:04 > 0:34:08I know lots of friends that live here and I play with them
0:34:08 > 0:34:10and enjoy ourselves.
0:34:14 > 0:34:19OK, this is, like, the fruit and veg, which is really good for you,
0:34:19 > 0:34:21so I recommend it.
0:34:21 > 0:34:23This is my favourite section.
0:34:23 > 0:34:25Full of biscuits.
0:34:25 > 0:34:28They do do it in Tesco,
0:34:28 > 0:34:31but this is the usual place where I buy it from.
0:34:31 > 0:34:32Because it's my manor.
0:34:32 > 0:34:34My place.
0:34:36 > 0:34:37Thank you.
0:34:40 > 0:34:43- Salim, how are you? - I'm fine, thank you, you?
0:34:43 > 0:34:45Yeah, not too bad, not too bad.
0:34:45 > 0:34:48- How are you feeling? You all right, man?- Yes, all right.
0:34:48 > 0:34:51In Hackney, I think this is the best fish and chips place.
0:34:51 > 0:34:54He makes me laugh, as well, cos he's really funny.
0:34:54 > 0:34:57Borek! Borek! Borek! Very nice, Turkish. Borek.
0:34:59 > 0:35:03I think this is a good community and it is important
0:35:03 > 0:35:05because you get along with people.
0:35:05 > 0:35:10Like, you get close to them and become friendly with them,
0:35:10 > 0:35:13and become nice with them.
0:35:13 > 0:35:16It's like you're together, you're like a family.
0:35:16 > 0:35:18He is Hackney boy.
0:35:18 > 0:35:20I am also Hackney boy.
0:35:20 > 0:35:21Hackney boy, mate.
0:35:21 > 0:35:22Cool, see you later.
0:35:26 > 0:35:30But Salim thinks adults haven't got everything right in Hackney.
0:35:30 > 0:35:33And there are some shops that have a negative impact
0:35:33 > 0:35:34on his neighbourhood.
0:35:35 > 0:35:39I don't think a betting shop is good for the community.
0:35:39 > 0:35:43Betting shops do not give much back
0:35:43 > 0:35:46because they take a lot,
0:35:46 > 0:35:48and they give you something really small.
0:35:48 > 0:35:50I don't know why people do it.
0:35:55 > 0:35:57In Pedro's, the young boxers are still debating
0:35:57 > 0:36:00which new law they'd like to introduce
0:36:00 > 0:36:01to improve their community.
0:36:01 > 0:36:05And Salim has an idea he feels strongly about.
0:36:05 > 0:36:06Betting's not good.
0:36:06 > 0:36:12One of my friend's dad, he put his whole credit card
0:36:12 > 0:36:14just to win this bet.
0:36:14 > 0:36:16He lost and now he's homeless.
0:36:16 > 0:36:19That's how bad betting goes.
0:36:19 > 0:36:21Do you still see him?
0:36:21 > 0:36:25I don't know where he is, but I still meet up with his son.
0:36:27 > 0:36:29I think gambling's a bad thing.
0:36:29 > 0:36:31I would never do it in my life.
0:36:31 > 0:36:33I don't even like the name of it.
0:36:33 > 0:36:36Gambling is no good.
0:36:36 > 0:36:40There's no point you putting so much money into something
0:36:40 > 0:36:44you think you're going to win, but you aren't actually going to win.
0:36:44 > 0:36:47Salim said we need to actually stop the betting
0:36:47 > 0:36:51because betting can cause pain, money, it can cause anything
0:36:51 > 0:36:56because if someone said... No, if someone said, "If I win this, yeah,
0:36:56 > 0:36:58"you have to give me some easy thing."
0:36:58 > 0:37:01But then the other person takes the two grand and says,
0:37:01 > 0:37:03"OK, if I win,
0:37:03 > 0:37:04"you have to give me your kidney."
0:37:04 > 0:37:07What if the person loses and has to give the kidney?
0:37:07 > 0:37:08Kidney?! What the...?
0:37:08 > 0:37:12I think we should be taking off the betting shops,
0:37:12 > 0:37:13and turn them into houses,
0:37:13 > 0:37:16because lots of people are coming into the country,
0:37:16 > 0:37:21and it's getting more higher people and it's not going to last,
0:37:21 > 0:37:22because people want to...
0:37:22 > 0:37:26Here they've got a good education, that's why they come here.
0:37:26 > 0:37:27So we need more houses
0:37:27 > 0:37:32for the people that are coming here just to do their work.
0:37:32 > 0:37:36While Salim and Abdou want to close betting shops and provide new homes,
0:37:36 > 0:37:39the other kids have different concerns.
0:37:39 > 0:37:41But do you think it's a good idea
0:37:41 > 0:37:43to put an airport in London, in Hackney?
0:37:43 > 0:37:45No!
0:37:45 > 0:37:48- They're going to have to knock down Pedro's and everything.- No.
0:37:48 > 0:37:50No, no, no, cos they'll have to knock down Pedro's.
0:37:50 > 0:37:53I would not want to have an airport in Hackney,
0:37:53 > 0:37:55cos where is it going to fit?
0:37:55 > 0:38:00Airports take over a whole area.
0:38:00 > 0:38:04I would like to have more chicken shops than airports.
0:38:04 > 0:38:06If there was an airport round here,
0:38:06 > 0:38:11we would have to take everything out of there, like the square,
0:38:11 > 0:38:14the trees, all the cars and the houses.
0:38:14 > 0:38:17That's why me and my group
0:38:17 > 0:38:20decided that airports shouldn't be near Hackney.
0:38:20 > 0:38:22They should be somewhere else.
0:38:22 > 0:38:26The aeroplanes, they might look small when they're in the sky,
0:38:26 > 0:38:31but they're actually so massive, they actually need space to land.
0:38:36 > 0:38:38Think about it in your heads, make your own mind up.
0:38:38 > 0:38:42Is it more important to say no airports ever,
0:38:42 > 0:38:45or is it more important to close the betting shops
0:38:45 > 0:38:47and make them into houses?
0:38:47 > 0:38:50Who is voting for no airports, ever?
0:38:50 > 0:38:54Hands up if you think no airports, ever.
0:38:54 > 0:38:55Seven.
0:38:56 > 0:39:00Who is voting for changing the betting shops into houses?
0:39:00 > 0:39:04One, two, three, four...
0:39:04 > 0:39:11In that case, you just have to put no airports, ever, in Hackney.
0:39:11 > 0:39:15Our new law is no airports, ever!
0:39:15 > 0:39:20THEY CHEER
0:39:23 > 0:39:24I'm sad.
0:39:24 > 0:39:27It is hard to persuade people.
0:39:28 > 0:39:31Sometimes people don't listen.
0:39:31 > 0:39:34The group may not have voted to ban betting shops,
0:39:34 > 0:39:37but Salim has a vision for the world he wants to live in.
0:39:38 > 0:39:42We should have other shops. Like, good shops.
0:39:42 > 0:39:45Shops that children could go into, sweet shops.
0:39:46 > 0:39:51In ten years' time, there will be better things in the community.
0:39:55 > 0:39:56Hopefully, in the future,
0:39:56 > 0:39:59there's going to be a good place for the community
0:39:59 > 0:40:01and for the rest of my life,
0:40:01 > 0:40:05I think I'm going to live here cos I love Hackney.
0:40:14 > 0:40:18In Liverpool, Scarlett is moving house.
0:40:18 > 0:40:22Living room is gone. Our bedrooms are gone. Gone!
0:40:22 > 0:40:26For people with autism, big change can be challenging.
0:40:26 > 0:40:28Goodbye, bedroom.
0:40:29 > 0:40:32At the moment, Scarlett is looking forward to it.
0:40:33 > 0:40:38I'm really excited to sleep in my room tonight.
0:40:38 > 0:40:44I'm really confident about having my new house, and I'm excited.
0:40:44 > 0:40:45New house!
0:40:48 > 0:40:49Your head is sweaty.
0:40:49 > 0:40:50I know.
0:40:52 > 0:40:53Can you reach it?
0:40:56 > 0:41:00Can't forget this because it captures my bad dreams,
0:41:00 > 0:41:02so I can't have any bad dreams.
0:41:05 > 0:41:07Right, shall we?
0:41:07 > 0:41:09Scarlett's helping her mum's partner
0:41:09 > 0:41:13move the family belongings to the new house.
0:41:13 > 0:41:17Change can be scary, but sometimes it can be exciting.
0:41:17 > 0:41:19Like, maybe moving house.
0:41:19 > 0:41:21HE IMITATES EXPLOSION
0:41:21 > 0:41:24- Why do you always do booms? - Because it's better than high-fives!
0:41:29 > 0:41:31New house! New house! New house, put the keys in.
0:41:31 > 0:41:33Ta-da!
0:41:33 > 0:41:35House!
0:41:35 > 0:41:37This is our new kitchen.
0:41:38 > 0:41:40Bathroom.
0:41:40 > 0:41:42It's smaller than the one we used to have.
0:41:42 > 0:41:45And this is my room,
0:41:45 > 0:41:48the room I've been talking about all the time.
0:41:48 > 0:41:52And it's very small, but it's just right for me.
0:41:56 > 0:41:58Mattress.
0:41:58 > 0:42:02The small room, for me, it makes me feel cosy and safe.
0:42:04 > 0:42:08Having my own room, it feels like I'm older.
0:42:08 > 0:42:10It gives you the opportunity
0:42:10 > 0:42:14to express yourself with all your feelings.
0:42:16 > 0:42:18And everything.
0:42:18 > 0:42:21And it just feels good to express yourself.
0:42:21 > 0:42:23My yoga mat.
0:42:24 > 0:42:26My yoga mat.
0:42:26 > 0:42:28# Doo-boop, buh-doo-boop-boop
0:42:28 > 0:42:31# Doo-boo-boo, doo-boo-blah! #
0:42:31 > 0:42:34For Scarlett, the move has gone smoothly,
0:42:34 > 0:42:37and she's already planning how she'll make her new room her own.
0:42:39 > 0:42:43I'd like it to be a pink and a light grey.
0:42:43 > 0:42:45So striped across the walls.
0:42:47 > 0:42:51And I'll put my dream catcher on this little hook here,
0:42:51 > 0:42:55so when I close the door tonight, it can be here.
0:42:55 > 0:42:58I like this house. I like my house a lot.
0:43:08 > 0:43:10THEY SING
0:43:11 > 0:43:13Hello, ladies.
0:43:13 > 0:43:17The adult world is full of difficult choices.
0:43:17 > 0:43:20Today, Scarlett and her friends in the choir are playing a game
0:43:20 > 0:43:23where they face one of the hardest decisions imaginable.
0:43:23 > 0:43:25Look at the dog!
0:43:25 > 0:43:26I know, isn't she adorable?
0:43:28 > 0:43:32A ship is sinking and there are too many people for the lifeboat.
0:43:35 > 0:43:37That's the Queen, isn't it?
0:43:37 > 0:43:40- That's the Queen. - No, it's not the Queen.
0:43:40 > 0:43:42What's with the dog?
0:43:42 > 0:43:44Hello, pup. What's with the boat?
0:43:50 > 0:43:55Our job is to try and decide who goes in the lifeboat.
0:43:55 > 0:43:57And more importantly, who doesn't.
0:43:59 > 0:44:03The group must agree on five lives to save from the seven people
0:44:03 > 0:44:05and one dog.
0:44:08 > 0:44:10If we try and squash everyone on,
0:44:10 > 0:44:14the boat can't stay afloat, and nobody survives.
0:44:15 > 0:44:19I reckon the teenage girl, the doctor, the old woman,
0:44:19 > 0:44:23the dog and one more person.
0:44:23 > 0:44:25- The singer. - No, the singer doesn't need to.
0:44:25 > 0:44:27- She does.- She doesn't!
0:44:27 > 0:44:31No, because she's got like a really rich family.
0:44:31 > 0:44:35She could just phone up her private jet which would fly in and get her.
0:44:35 > 0:44:36She doesn't have her phone with her!
0:44:36 > 0:44:38She could scream really loud,
0:44:38 > 0:44:42"Private jet, private jet, come for me."
0:44:42 > 0:44:45They're in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean!
0:44:46 > 0:44:49The old lady, the dog and the priest.
0:44:49 > 0:44:51Right, so that's the three people who aren't going.
0:44:51 > 0:44:53Yeah, the three people that aren't going.
0:44:53 > 0:44:54All the rest are going.
0:44:54 > 0:44:57We kind of looked at the young people who we thought should stay,
0:44:57 > 0:44:58and who shouldn't.
0:44:58 > 0:45:01The bad people who should stay and who shouldn't
0:45:01 > 0:45:05and we just looked at the dog and thought, "Should the dog stay?"
0:45:05 > 0:45:08The dog! I feel so bad for the dog.
0:45:09 > 0:45:12I love the dog. It's so cute.
0:45:12 > 0:45:15What do you think's going to make more of a difference,
0:45:15 > 0:45:16a doctor or a dog?
0:45:16 > 0:45:20No! I don't think dogs are more important than humans at all.
0:45:20 > 0:45:23I thought that maybe it would be easier,
0:45:23 > 0:45:26just, like, more practical if a human was on the boat
0:45:26 > 0:45:27instead of the dog.
0:45:27 > 0:45:30The group are still undecided on who to save.
0:45:30 > 0:45:35But it's clear Jade's compassion for people only extends so far.
0:45:35 > 0:45:37OK, OK, tell me the truth.
0:45:37 > 0:45:42If it was me and a random dog, who would you pick on the boat?
0:45:42 > 0:45:44Random dog.
0:45:45 > 0:45:51Dogs make me happy because if you are with the dog,
0:45:51 > 0:45:54and you don't really have anybody, like, that's your friend,
0:45:54 > 0:45:57usually you can count on a dog to be your friend.
0:45:57 > 0:46:02So we're leaving the dog, prisoner, old woman...
0:46:02 > 0:46:05I mean, we're leaving the dog, priest and old woman.
0:46:05 > 0:46:07THEY CRY
0:46:13 > 0:46:17There's a saying that says, a dog's a man's best friend.
0:46:17 > 0:46:21But I think that they're little girl's best friends, as well.
0:46:23 > 0:46:27- I'm not leaving the dog out. - Oh, my God, just leave the dog out.
0:46:27 > 0:46:30- No, the doctor's better. - No. I'm not leaving the dog out.
0:46:30 > 0:46:34- Well, I don't know what's going on with you but...- This is just weird.
0:46:34 > 0:46:38A person's life is more important than a dog's life. I'm sorry, it is.
0:46:38 > 0:46:40- It is.- That's not what I think.
0:46:46 > 0:46:49We are to come to a decision with the whole group
0:46:49 > 0:46:53about which of these people go into the lifeboat and which don't.
0:46:53 > 0:46:55Jessica, tell us who they are.
0:46:55 > 0:47:00We chose the teenage girl, the dad, the doctor,
0:47:00 > 0:47:01the old woman and the dog.
0:47:01 > 0:47:04Yes!
0:47:04 > 0:47:06It might be a loving family pet.
0:47:06 > 0:47:08And we don't really want to lose it.
0:47:10 > 0:47:12The reason why we're not taking the dog
0:47:12 > 0:47:15is because, like, the dog can't grow up and be, like, a doctor
0:47:15 > 0:47:17or really help people that much.
0:47:17 > 0:47:19So that's why we're leaving the dog.
0:47:19 > 0:47:22Everybody thinks that a dog doesn't have a future ahead of them,
0:47:22 > 0:47:23but they can.
0:47:23 > 0:47:28If it isn't a helper now it can become a police dog or a guard dog.
0:47:28 > 0:47:30But everybody's saying that they don't have a future ahead of them.
0:47:30 > 0:47:31But really, they do.
0:47:31 > 0:47:35Who agrees with Jade, that the dog has a special place on this boat?
0:47:35 > 0:47:37Jade, can you please put the dog on the lifeboat?
0:47:37 > 0:47:39Yes!
0:47:40 > 0:47:42You're going on the boat, you're going to be saved.
0:47:42 > 0:47:44LAUGHTER
0:47:46 > 0:47:49Thank you very much, Jade.
0:47:49 > 0:47:50Yay!
0:47:51 > 0:47:54The dog's made it. But the dog's taken up a place
0:47:54 > 0:47:56that one of these other people could have filled.
0:47:58 > 0:48:01The group have also chosen to save the teenage girl's father
0:48:01 > 0:48:02and the doctor.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06The hardest decision will be who gets the last spot on the boat.
0:48:08 > 0:48:11I picked the old lady cos that might be my grandma.
0:48:11 > 0:48:14- No.- What if it's not your grandma?
0:48:14 > 0:48:15But what if it is?
0:48:15 > 0:48:17No, no, the singer.
0:48:17 > 0:48:20Cos music is an amazing way to help people.
0:48:20 > 0:48:21I respect singers.
0:48:21 > 0:48:24I respect Whitney Houston, I love her work and stuff like that.
0:48:24 > 0:48:26We don't need the old lady.
0:48:26 > 0:48:28Yes, we do need the old lady!
0:48:28 > 0:48:30I think the old lady should go on it.
0:48:30 > 0:48:34She doesn't have that a long life anyway.
0:48:36 > 0:48:38Look, the old lady,
0:48:38 > 0:48:43even though she's probably very old and needs to die soon,
0:48:43 > 0:48:46I think she wants to spend her last year with her family.
0:48:46 > 0:48:50I can't believe you just said that right down my ear.
0:48:50 > 0:48:52- THEY CHANT:- Singer!
0:48:52 > 0:48:56- THEY CHANT:- Old woman!
0:48:59 > 0:49:02If you would like to vote for the priest, put your hand up.
0:49:05 > 0:49:06The convict, put your hand up.
0:49:08 > 0:49:10The singer, put your hand up.
0:49:14 > 0:49:16And the old lady, put your hand up.
0:49:17 > 0:49:18OK, Macy.
0:49:19 > 0:49:22Macy, I want you to come and fill up the very last place
0:49:22 > 0:49:24on this lifeboat.
0:49:24 > 0:49:27Right. It looks like, girls, the individuals
0:49:27 > 0:49:30we've got on the boat are the individuals you've chosen.
0:49:30 > 0:49:34THEY HUM DRAMATICALLY
0:49:34 > 0:49:36Get in the boat!
0:49:36 > 0:49:38Get in the boat!
0:49:38 > 0:49:39I want to survive!
0:49:41 > 0:49:44I think it was really unfair that, like...
0:49:44 > 0:49:49that person who had just got out of prison, everybody said,
0:49:49 > 0:49:53"No, he shouldn't go on the boat" and dogs can actually swim.
0:49:53 > 0:49:55So we should have let him go on the boat.
0:49:57 > 0:50:00So long!
0:50:00 > 0:50:01Stupid prisoner!
0:50:03 > 0:50:08The priest didn't go, the old lady did go.
0:50:08 > 0:50:11And the singer did actually deserve to go, because she was young,
0:50:11 > 0:50:13and she had her life ahead of her.
0:50:14 > 0:50:19OK, I'm hungry now. Pretend we're back home, yeah, I need some food.
0:50:19 > 0:50:21Come on. You worked very hard.
0:50:29 > 0:50:33Texting is one of grown-ups' most favourite things.
0:50:33 > 0:50:37For some weird reason, it hypnotises them.
0:50:37 > 0:50:43When I look at adults, I think they're a bit...
0:50:43 > 0:50:45shouty, sometimes.
0:50:45 > 0:50:48Like, my mum gets in rude arguments with my dad,
0:50:48 > 0:50:50and I hear loads of new words.
0:50:50 > 0:50:56Sometimes you've got to enjoy being a kid cos, as I said...
0:50:57 > 0:51:01..like, you just chuck your clothes in a basket,
0:51:01 > 0:51:06and three days later you see nice clean clothes back in your wardrobe.
0:51:14 > 0:51:16- My clothes.- Yeah.
0:51:16 > 0:51:21In Bradford, Sahar is trying to decide whether to wear a headscarf,
0:51:21 > 0:51:24known as a hijab, when she goes to secondary school next term.
0:51:25 > 0:51:27She's turned to her mum for advice.
0:51:30 > 0:51:33Mum, what do you think about me wearing a scarf to high school?
0:51:33 > 0:51:35What do you think?
0:51:35 > 0:51:38First, like, what do you want?
0:51:38 > 0:51:42I do want to wear it, but then, at the same time, I just don't
0:51:42 > 0:51:46because some girls they wear it, sometimes and then, like...
0:51:46 > 0:51:49I don't know what decision to make.
0:51:49 > 0:51:51It's hard.
0:51:51 > 0:51:53I've seen people wearing scarves,
0:51:53 > 0:51:56but then they're wearing the wrong clothes.
0:51:56 > 0:51:58That's just not right.
0:51:58 > 0:52:02If you're wearing scarf, you have to make sure your body's covered up.
0:52:02 > 0:52:04It's not only about hijab.
0:52:04 > 0:52:06You have to be...
0:52:07 > 0:52:10Make sure you're not doing anything wrong.
0:52:10 > 0:52:13I'm not going to force you to wear hijab, though.
0:52:13 > 0:52:17It's not about hijab. It's about you. What you want.
0:52:25 > 0:52:27Having sought advice from mum,
0:52:27 > 0:52:29Sahar's going to get a second opinion.
0:52:31 > 0:52:34She's come to school to meet with her friends
0:52:34 > 0:52:36and get their thoughts on her headscarf dilemma.
0:52:38 > 0:52:41Sahar usually only wears her hijab at mosque,
0:52:41 > 0:52:44this is the first time her classmates
0:52:44 > 0:52:46will see her in a headscarf.
0:52:46 > 0:52:48Most of my friends don't wear the scarf,
0:52:48 > 0:52:52cos they're either Christians or, kind of, another religion.
0:52:53 > 0:52:56I'm feeling a bit nervous because I'm going to find out
0:52:56 > 0:52:58for the first time what other people,
0:52:58 > 0:53:00who are not used to seeing me wear this,
0:53:00 > 0:53:03think about it, and how they might react.
0:53:03 > 0:53:05Cos sometimes reactions are really funny
0:53:05 > 0:53:07and sometimes they might be really different,
0:53:07 > 0:53:08like the opposite of funny.
0:53:10 > 0:53:14I've got my scarf on, I think I'm ready to go and show my friends
0:53:14 > 0:53:15and see what they think.
0:53:19 > 0:53:21I'm kind of scared of what might happen.
0:53:23 > 0:53:26Mostly being, like, talking to my friends,
0:53:26 > 0:53:30and letting it all off my chest and not keeping it in.
0:53:31 > 0:53:32Ooh!
0:53:34 > 0:53:36- Hi.- Hello.- Hiya.
0:53:39 > 0:53:41So what do you think about it?
0:53:41 > 0:53:43I think it really suits you.
0:53:43 > 0:53:49But it does hide your features, which is quite a bit bad, but...
0:53:50 > 0:53:54I used to have friends and they used to wear scarves.
0:53:54 > 0:53:56I got really used to it.
0:53:56 > 0:53:58And I'm really happy that she's worn it
0:53:58 > 0:54:03because she's expressing how she wants to look.
0:54:04 > 0:54:08But what will Sahar's best friend, Birnan, think of her transformation?
0:54:11 > 0:54:13I think it looks good on her.
0:54:13 > 0:54:15- And, like, she should wear it every day.- Really?
0:54:22 > 0:54:25For this day, I was really nervous. I was really thinking about it.
0:54:25 > 0:54:27Like, I was REALLY thinking about it.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31But then, after today, I felt really comfortable with it.
0:54:31 > 0:54:33And I think I'm definitely going to wear it
0:54:33 > 0:54:35because it's given me confidence.
0:54:35 > 0:54:39It's given me that boost that I need to make my decision.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42I'm still going to be the same person,
0:54:42 > 0:54:44but I've just got a cloth on my head.
0:54:44 > 0:54:45That's it.
0:54:51 > 0:54:55When I look into the future, I see...
0:54:56 > 0:54:57..flying cars.
0:54:58 > 0:55:03People having, like, basically so much programmes they want to watch,
0:55:03 > 0:55:05they just click in their cheek.
0:55:05 > 0:55:09A scientist may make some weird formula or potion
0:55:09 > 0:55:11what turns all the undead alive.
0:55:16 > 0:55:18OK, Meera, can you sit here?
0:55:19 > 0:55:22Our children have experienced the world of grown-ups,
0:55:22 > 0:55:25and wrestled with its difficult choices.
0:55:26 > 0:55:30It would be wonderful if Evan could be the first person to stand up
0:55:30 > 0:55:33and tell us a little bit about how they picture themselves
0:55:33 > 0:55:3520 years from now.
0:55:36 > 0:55:39With the holidays coming, and the sessions at an end,
0:55:39 > 0:55:42the children are now thinking about their futures,
0:55:42 > 0:55:45and the lives they want to lead.
0:55:45 > 0:55:48I'll finish my dream and I'll be a doctor.
0:55:48 > 0:55:50I will have a really big house,
0:55:50 > 0:55:53I will have amazing kids.
0:55:53 > 0:55:57I'll have a really big... Like, really, really big house.
0:55:59 > 0:56:03When I think about the future, I think it's a little bit scary.
0:56:03 > 0:56:05But super exciting.
0:56:05 > 0:56:08I really, really want to be a doctor right now.
0:56:08 > 0:56:12I want to be a doctor cos I want to help save people's lives.
0:56:12 > 0:56:17I want to be a historian, specialising in Egyptology.
0:56:19 > 0:56:23I would like to live probably in Antigua,
0:56:23 > 0:56:25or somewhere, like, in Essex.
0:56:25 > 0:56:28In 20 years' time, I will be a banker,
0:56:28 > 0:56:31and I will live in the same place I do now.
0:56:32 > 0:56:36And I'll have two children by then.
0:56:36 > 0:56:38I've already worked out their ages.
0:56:38 > 0:56:42My biggest future dream is,
0:56:42 > 0:56:47one, to be a good boy, to drive fast cars,
0:56:47 > 0:56:53to get everything in the world, but earn for it, instead of robbing.
0:56:53 > 0:56:59My family will always and for ever
0:56:59 > 0:57:02be my number one priority.
0:57:02 > 0:57:06My biggest wish is to have a happy life, live life to the fullest.
0:57:06 > 0:57:08And hopefully even get my dream job.
0:57:11 > 0:57:13Which I don't know yet.
0:57:14 > 0:57:20In 20 years' time, I see myself as a singing vet.
0:57:20 > 0:57:25To have a house, in Spain and in Florida.
0:57:26 > 0:57:30And I forgot the most important thing - I'd have, like, six rabbits.
0:57:30 > 0:57:32Like, 19 dogs.
0:57:33 > 0:57:36THEY ALL LAUGH
0:57:36 > 0:57:39What would be the worst thing about your life in 20 years' time?
0:57:39 > 0:57:40I'd be old.
0:57:40 > 0:57:42THEY ALL LAUGH
