To mark the International Day of Persons with Disabilities this December 3rd, we are going to be focusing on life as a young disabled person.

To do this, we need you!

If you are under 25 and have a disability related blog, please let us know in the comments below.

There is a chance your blog could be shared by the team at UNICEF's Voices of Youth platform so this is a great opportunity to share your thoughts with the world about what matters most to you.

    Hello I am a 17 year old student who physically disabled and in the process of creating an online blog. I would have loved to take part but mine won't be published in time for the 3rd but would be happy to be in future things.

    Just life in general, some times I swear on my Blog and go on long swear word filled rants so if you're sensitive or easily offended I wouldn't recommend reading it.

    I can't link to it as it's set to private by default and I don't know how to make it public.

    That's good then ? 

    I do indeedy! My blog is Undercover Superhero. I mainly blog about my recovery, I've been in the process of creating a mini series about being disabled and pregnant. My favourite collaboration to date, has to be with @hdeakin and @Chloe_Scope, in which we shared our thoughts on The Importance of Mobility Aids :)

    @MrAllen1976 I used to have similar but without the ranting :D  Blogs are great as an outlet for our emotions.  

    If you ever write anything that you think we could share, or have an idea for a guest blog please let me know.

    ooooh I must give this a read!  It sounds good.

    Also, we will share it on International Day of People with Disabilities, if that's okay with you?
