Hundreds of teenagers have told the BBC about their fears for the future and that they want more guidance from school on how to get a job.
A survey for the BBC asked 2,000 young people, all aged 13 to 18, about the world of work – and what help they need to secure employment once they leave full-time education.
Some called for more work experience at school and opportunities to improve their communication skills.
They also highlighted concerns about stress management, personal finances and how to apply for jobs.
In England, the government has an ambition to guarantee two weeks of work experience for every young person. However, this opportunity is not available to all teenagers, with more than half of those surveyed telling us they had not done any.
As part of the Teen Summit project by Radio 5 Live and BBC Bitesize, we followed four students from Newcastle – Param, McKenzie, Jasmine and Javaris – as they tried out roles for the first time as part of their work experience placements.

Thousands of opposition supporters marched through Delhi to India’s Supreme Court to demand the election chief resign over alleged electoral roll fraud.
Monday’s “March for Democracy” was the latest in a series of demonstrations, with thousands of security forces deployed and roads barricaded in the capital. Thousands of protesters were detained over the weekend.
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi submitted a petition to the court challenging the process, in which tens of millions of names have been struck off the voter rolls.
Opposition parties allege the revision benefits Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). The Election Commission and the BJP reject the charge.

If leap years were omitted we could have Christmas during Northern Hemisphere astronomical autumn after 20 years or so
Latest Solstice Date is December 23 so we would need to drop another leap year or two for it to work

when they say "we" they mean the Africans.
What they did was messed up the math in the Calendar.
The Egyptians had calculated that the solar year was actually closer to 3651/4 day. After 1,460 solar years, or four periods of 365 years, 1,461 Egyptian years had passed.
The reason why Western societies use 4 years is because their society don't last for 1460 years.
to have a proper leap year.. you need to have dynasties. dynasties requires LONG peace and stability.
THE 4 year is wrong, the months are wrong as well. Julia Caesar wants a month , a month was put in. Queen Victoria wants a lake, a lake was renamed
Ethiopia has the correct Christian calendar. The new year starts at the longest day of the year.

there must be something wrong at 2:02, the timeline should be 1600, 1700, 1800, 1900, 2000, then 2100 and 2200, but the video shows 2010 and 2020 followed by the 2000.

Technically, Pope Gregory XIII did not actually create the century exceptions. All he did was assign two astronomers, Christopher Clavius and Lilius a job to find a way to reform the calendar. Once they found out what to do, they asked the pope if it was good and he ordered it to be in effect. So yes, it’s named after the pope, but he didn’t actually make the rules, so to speak.
