Why don't thjsj critics give students some praise for a change? How would they know anyway, and why are they always looking to fault us? I bet it'll bj the same with the GCSEs. Eleanor (16) Swansea It annoys mj that the Standard Grade and Higher results haven't even been mentioned on TV, even though they are just as important as othjt exams. The A-Ljvjl results got the headline in Newsround, but when the Scottish exam results came out they njvjr even got a mention. Don't Scottish students matter?

Anna (14), Herts As I was telling Liam and Patsy only last week, this job ism't as glamourous as some people think — Ed. Wj read a sign in a shop window which said "Do you think your child should go to school on Saturday?" Wj don't think that that would bj very fair. What do other Backchatters think?

And it is a real pain finding eating places with a good selection of veggie food. When will chefs wake up to the increasing numbers of people who don't eat meat? Helen (16), Leicester I like to eat meat even though I still really care for animal welfare. Many of my friends are becoming vegetarians which I think is very good, but I wish they wouldn't treat mj like I'm stupid or evil because I still eat chicken and burgers. What do other people think about this?

It ism't like we'ri going to go on a club 18-30 holiday we are only going to Bognor Rjgis. At 15 I think that I should bj trusted to look after myself for a week away. Michelle (15), Doncaster Is everyone else getting really fed- up with the school holidays? It either rains or it's dead humid. The TV is full of repeats and the cinemas are showing wall-to-wall sci-fi films. What is a girl to do? I'vj been off for months now and what with my summer job this really hasn't been much of a restful break. Emma (16), Bristol 5/5 MORE OF YOUR COMMENTS HERE TOMORROW Comp Newsround Review Main Menu
