For THE ROAD AHEAD we surveyed a representative sample of the school population to discover their views on political issues.
The survey found that education was by far the most important issue for the pupils and that the monarchy was of least interest to them.
The following six graphs demonstrate young people's concerns within each of these broad issues.
As politicians are always saying that they value the young people's opinions the internet committee decided to find out what Ellon Academy pupils wanted to know more about.
These graphs are being used to show local candidates the concerns of younger people in our constituency.
