Jamie McDougall profile »
My name is Jamie McDougall and I’m 17 years old. I’m studying journalism at West Herts College and then I hope to continue with journalism at university once my current course has finished. I’ve been writing on here for 3 years now and have been a Watford FC season ticket holder for 10 years. I play Football 3 times a week and Badminton twice a week. I’m here to express my views on topics that feature in the news headlines and want to show things from a teenager’s perspective.
