Be There 
At 17, society trusts teenagers enough to operate a moving vehicle on a motorway but doesn't trust them enough to make decisions about the country they live in.
While many teenagers can't vote, they can still be highly influential in bringing about change. By joining pressure groups, teenagers can lobby the government and make radical changes from the ground up.
Five articles address a variety of key issues; from pollution, public transport, taxes, speeding, protesting, and drink driving. Each area has an accompanying quiz which test users knowledge as they progress on their virtual journey.
Aims:
During this activity, students will explore laws, where they start off from, and why they're made. After completing the activity and accompanying worksheet, students should be able to:
- Discuss the reasons societies have laws
- Identify how laws, such as speed limits and drink driving, affect society
- Understand how individuals can change laws and bring about social change
