I talked to the Minister of State before coming into the Chamber and told him how right he was to go to Bebo and Facebook and the areas where young people are engaging with young people. Young people think they are immortal, whether living in South Hill or taking drugs as teenagers. They do not think they are going to die. If one is to engage with them one cannot wag fingers at them from the adult world, one has to use their language and their way of thinking. Part of their way of thinking is to engage with them at the sensory level.
