TED Lecture

-no schools take bad kids
-no respect for authority, ignored by society, don't listen to anyone but rappers
-broken families, alcohlic and drug addicts for parents, raised children to believe kids can never make -anything of themselves cause they didn't, kids abused physically/mentally
-only takes one person to put positive thoughts in a kid's head
-no one wanted to take the chance on 'ill manors' until he was famous
-chav= derogatory term, bad stigma 'council housed and violent' hypocritical as racism etc would be public uproar
-demonisation of youth, people judge them without first hand knowledge, base knowledge on what they read
-whole generation pushed out of society, beaten into apathy, no more youth centres
-media dont show good sides of youth eg. plan b's story, doesnt fit in to the rest of the bad press
-plan b took people on in his band, but can't help everyone, other individuals can help eg. plasterer, plant seed of knowledge 'each one teach one', without opportunities these kids would have criminal records
