Are you a good citizen? Take our quick quiz to find out!

You’re out walking your dog in the park and it does a really stinky poo. Do you?

A. Leave it and run away from it – there’s no one around.

B. Hold your nose and scoop it in a plastic bag then find a dog poo bin to put it in – if a young child touched it they could get really ill.

We can all try to make the place we live a better place. Don’t leave it up to other people…why don’t you follow these tips to try and be a good citizen:

• Do your share to make your school and where you live a better place. If you have a school council, get involved or maybe speak to a teacher about setting one up.
• Take responsibility for what goes on around you.
• Help take care of the environment.
• Treat other people with respect.

How can everyone help to make Hull a better place to live?

If you could change anything about Hull what would it be? Come up with any ideas?

Do you want more things to do in the holidays? Or more indoor places to chill out so you don’t have to hang round outside in winter?

If you want things to change where you live don’t just moan about it or expect someone else to sort it out… there are lots of ways you can have a say and try and make things better.

Get involved in one of Hull’s seven local area Youth Forums run by Hull Youth Council where you can get involved in campaigns, talk to other young people about what you’d like to change and work with the Council to try and make it happen!
