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!

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.

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

I write a blog 'Hannah's Hope' : https://hannahdeakin.blogspot.com
My blog is about my journey, supporting others and raising awareness. I hope to make a small difference in the world. I am 29 but feel and look about 18! Lol! 😊
You do look young (you lucky thing) and I'm going to have a nosey around your blog now. Thank you for sharing it!

I hope that you are well. Thank you so much for sharing this with us. I don't have a blog but have read some really good ones including ones that @Chloe_Scope has written which are so good. I have considered writing a blog but always felt that I wouldn't be very good at it, maybe it's something I'll have to really think about? Thank you.
If you need any advice on how to get started be sure to ask the bloggers on this thread

Thank you so much for your kind and encouraging words, I greatly appreciate them. I may well ask some of the bloggers here on this thread if they would kindly explain how they got started if that would please be ok? Thank you
I was nervous at first as I'd never written a piece that would be published online, it was quite daunting to be honest. But I found that once I started writing, I just couldn't stop and found that I enjoyed writing. This made me realise that I wanted to keep writing and seeing other young disabled people sharing their experiences on their blogs inspired me to start my own.
I will try and help where I can if you have any further questions

Congratulations on the birth of your baby girl
How are you? Thank you so much for sharing your blog with me, I really enjoyed looking around and will be sure to look out for your new blog tonight
I recommend WordPress, its the platform I use. Its totally up to you how you format your writing, each person has their own style which, I feel, is what makes them different. I write my blogs as if I were talking to friends (if they are personal posts), if I'm writing about an experience then I would write it with the intention of the reader would learn something, gain a new perspective, etc.
I think you'd make a fantastic blogger

Thank you so much for all of the advice, I really do appreciate it and will look into WordPress. I also really like your advice as to how you write your blogs and how different blogs will come from different perspectives that you have, that is really valuable to consider when writing. I think your blogs are amazing and I want to thank you for sharing them
Thank you for your kind and encouraging words, it is really kind of you and I really appreciate it. I have never really thought of myself as being very good at writing and I find taking on board compliments of any form very difficult. There are many good writers here on the community so there are lots of learning opportunities. Thank you for taking the time to show your encouragement

I will look out for the new thread x
I was just thinking we could follow each other. I don't understand all the SEO stuff at all though I warn you. I always just thought you sat down and wrote! Silly me lol. My Twitter is @LCinclusivity. I'm quite good with technology but have always used Facebook so just getting to grips with it.

Thank you so much for all of your advice and support, I really do appreciate you taking the time to share it with me. I will go away now and do a little research and have a think about trying to write something. I look forward to your next blog
Thank you so much for sharing your latest blog, I really enjoyed reading it and could relate to aspects of what you were saying. I also enjoyed reading about the spoon theory, I have heard of it but didn't know what it involved so thank you for sharing this. Your blog is amazing and I look forward to reading more
