The Teens’ Speech is an open invitation to British teenagers to address the nation with an alternative Christmas message. Teens are invited to upload their message or contribute to topical polls, discussion forums and make comments on collaborating social networks. MySpace will premiere The Teens’ Speech film, a collection of the best contributions and a collaboration with teen slam poet Kate Tempest, on Christmas Day in a unique front-page takeover. The campaign by Poke and Barnardo’s, aims to cut through hoodie and ASBO stereotypes and show a true cross-section of British teenagers and what really matters to them.

Thanks to Andy Whitlock for this story. Andy is learning how to play Let It Snow on the ukulele.
