    Oh yeah sorry :p
    There are several different topic titles (For example: Gay Marriage, the next step) and you have to write your view in 1000 words or over :) There's a few interesting titles I'd like to get my teeth into!

    Well my English teacher told me about it so I don't really know! :)
    I'm sure if you look up 'UCC Law Society Essay Competition' you'll find it though! :)

    Does it say that you have to be of a specific age?

    I'll have to check it out with my teacher! She is usually quite clued in so I'm surprised. :)

    Good idea! I'll be really disappointed if I can't enter because I was looking forward to writing about one of the topics :(

    Which one? The Gay Marriage one looks pretty good! If I was going in I'd go for that one, because really there's no actual downside to gay marriage and you can hit back any argument of it! :D

    Yeah :D Either Gay Marriage, sentencing guidelines for criminals or the State and not the Family are the ultimate guardians of children all look good :D

    True! The 1,000 words part might be difficult though! I'd be afraid that I'd get like 999 words and have writers block :P

    Yeah it's the bomb! :) There isn't really anything else like it! :')
    I would love to do a literature course in college; I don't think studying writing styles is really part of the LC course, is it?
    I get all excited when we do creative writing in class :')

    It's good! It's really easy to relate too, because I know kids who have to go through this :(

    You are welcome! :D
    Yeah, it's a touchy topic because a lot of adults are usually shocked to see how kids act towards kids who are 'different'at school, just because :(
    Some people though can be really nasty, I know from personal experience!
    If you don't blend in with the 'normal' people they'll be sure to point it out to you and everyone else!

    Exactly!! It's true! You need to fit in, or else you're a freak, but unfortunately it's not just in school this happens :/ It's in the everyday world.. People with special needs, LGBT people even coloured people are still in 2012, looked down upon in society. It's totally wrong.

    Agreed! Hopefully someday everyone will be equal, but it'll be hard to stamp out prejudice; I'd say it will take another few generations -.-
