My name is Carey Thomas and I am 15 years old. I am in a pupil referral unit (PRU) where I complete my education. I was adopted at a very young age but am lucky enough to have grown up with the most incredible family. I have also suffered with my mental health throughout my childhood.
I would to like to stand to be a Welsh Youth Parliament Member as I feel voices like mine are never heard. People think because I sometime I make bad decisions and that means that my voice is not worthy of being heard. I have worked really hard to overcome many challenges in life and feel like I understand young people of today.
In school I am a young mental young mental health champion and children come to me when they feel low or need help. I will try my best to listen and share the views of my peers.
I'd like people to vote for me because I am just like them, I have been through more than what many children have been through but overcome it and become a better person.
I am open to different views.
Carey Thomas ydw i a dw i’n 15 oed. Dw i mewn uned gyfeirio disgyblion (PRU) lle dw i’n cael fy addysg. Cefais fy mabwysiadu ar oed ifanc ond dw i’n ddigon ffodus i fod wedi tyfu i fyny gyda theulu anhygoel. Dw i hefyd wedi dioddef gydag iechyd meddwl drwy gydol fy mhlentyndod. Hoffwn sefyll fel ymgeisydd Senedd Ieuenctid Cymru oherwydd dw i’m yn meddwl bod lleisiau fel f’un i yn cael eu clywed. Dydy pobl ddim yn meddwl bod fy llais yn bwysig gan fy mod yn gwneud penderfyniadau gwael weithiau. Dw i wedi gweithio’n galed i oresgyn llawer o heriau yn fy mywyd, ac yn teimlo fy mod i’n deall pobl ifanc heddiw. Yn yr ysgol, dw i’n hyrwyddwr iechyd meddwl pobl ifanc, ac mae plant yn dod ataf fi pan maen nhw’n teimlo’n isel neu angen cymorth. Dw i’n mynd i wneud fy ngorau i wrando a rhannu barn fy nghyd-ddisgyblion.
Dw i eisiau i bobl bleidleisio drosof fi oherwydd dw i fel nhw. Dw i wedi bod drwy fwy na rhai plant, ond wedi goresgyn popeth a dod yn berson gwell. Dw i’n agored i farn wahanol.
