DAILY RESPECT
Growing up is hard work! Many young people complain that they don’t get enough help from adults! ‘I
can’t understand it.’ says 15-year-old Hayley Lomas, ‘Instead of understanding, sympathy and
support in getting through this difficult time, we often get criticism.’
Hayley isn’t alone in thinking this, but there are, of course, many adults who do want to help. In fact,
some of them set up a website and mobile phone app called Daily Respect. So, how does it
work?
‘It’s easy!’ says Geraint Tillotson, the man who started Daily Respect. ‘You download the app and
then you get a daily message through the app about an issue that’s important for many teenagers.
If you then want to find out more, there will be a link to the relevant section of our website which
will give much more detail about the subject.’

Daily Respect tries to provide simple, practical information to help young people make good
decisions.
If you are interested in getting the daily messages, look for the free app in your usual app store. To
visit the website, click on the link here – what have you got to lose?
