Petition request

That the House of Representatives make gym memberships free for 14- to 18-year-olds in New Zealand.

Petition reason

I believe a lot of youth is wasted away because all young people know is from what they see in their average life—in many cases, drinking, drugs, and criminal activity. I believe we should give them a true outlet that builds strong minds and a sense of self to let them know they can become a well-respected person. I believe giving youth the free opportunity to train from ages 14 to 18 would create strong-minded individuals—mentally and physically—before they are able to finish school.
