English: Thank you very much, Llywydd. I know that I speak on behalf of Members of every party in saying how pleasant and wonderful the spirit is in the Senedd today, and it would be good to be able to feel this vibe in your company, as Members of the Youth Parliament, many times again in the future. There are many topics in politics that can be quite depressing. Whether during my career as a journalist or as a politician myself, apathy has been an issue that has caused me great concern. More recently, intolerance in politics is something that should worry us all. So, having something that we can truly celebrate in politics is very pleasant indeed, and seeing the formation and following the early development of our national Youth Parliament is something that is a topic of great pride for us all. A Youth Parliament that provides an opportunity not only for young people to voice their views, but to raise awareness amongst young people throughout the whole of Wales about the political and parliamentary system that we are all part of, and impacts on all your lives, and of course a Youth Parliament that's a platform to have real influence on decision making. Your Parliament is a platform to assist and support young people, through you, to take part in those decisions that will shape all of your futures. I look forward to seeing that becoming more and more evident as the voting age is extended to those between 16 and 18 years of age. So, it's wonderful to see that you've started work immediately and started by putting a clear focus on three topics that are important to you. Differently to previous generations, your generation has understood the importance and value of talking about mental health. The understanding of mental health conditions is better than ever, and I think that the pressure from the Youth Parliament can ensure that research and support and mental health and well-being services will be a totally integral and core part of the education, health, career and social experience of young people the length and breadth of Wales. Of course, the focus on life skills in the curriculum is a very important area. Growing from being a young person into adulthood is excellent. You're obviously enjoying this period in your lives - I remember it with great joy myself - but there are many challenges during that period, such as being financially responsible and taking care of your own health or other people's health through CPR and so on. But, yes, let's ensure that the support that you want is there for you through the education system. Then there's the increasing awareness of our wasteful way of living, which is very encouraging too. You, as young people, are taking the lead in so many ways, particularly on the use of plastic. With your assistance, Wales can get rid of some of our thoughtless and lazy ways of living. So, good luck to you. Remember that the support and platform of the Assembly will always be here for you, but it's also important that we don't intervene too much in your work, and allow you to lead the way.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn, Llywydd. Dwi'n gwybod fy mod i'n siarad ar ran Aelodau o bob plaid yma drwy ddweud ysbryd mor braf sydd yma yn y Senedd heddiw yma, ac y byddai hi'n dda cael teimlo'r ysbryd yna yn eich cwmni chi, fel Aelodau'r Senedd Ieuenctid, lawer tro eto yn y dyfodol. Mae yna lawer mewn gwleidyddiaeth sy'n destun digalondid. P'un ai drwy fy ngyrfa i fel newyddiadurwr neu fel gwleidydd fy hun, mae difaterwch yn rhywbeth sydd wedi bod yn peri pryder i fi. Yn fwy diweddar, mae anoddefgarwch mewn gwleidyddiaeth yn rhywbeth y dylai ein poeni ni i gyd. Felly, mae cael rhywbeth gwirioneddol i'w ddathlu mewn gwleidyddiaeth yn braf iawn, ac mae gweld ffurfio a dilyn datblygiad cynnar ein Senedd Ieuenctid genedlaethol ni yn rhywbeth sy'n destun balchder mawr i ni gyd. Senedd Ieuenctid sy'n rhoi cyfle nid yn unig i bobl ifanc leisio barn, ond hefyd sydd yn fodd o godi ymwybyddiaeth ymysg pobl ifanc ledled Cymru o'r system wleidyddol, y system seneddol rydym ni'n rhan ohoni, ac sy'n cael effaith ar eich bywydau chi i gyd, ac wrth gwrs Senedd Ieuenctid sy'n blatfform i ddylanwadu go iawn ar benderfyniadau. Mae'ch Senedd chi yn llwyfan i helpu pobl ifanc, drwyddoch chi, i ddod yn rhan o wneud y penderfyniadau hynny sy'n mynd i siapio eich dyfodol chi i gyd. Dwi'n edrych ymlaen at weld hynny'n dod yn fwy a mwy amlwg wrth i'r oedran pleidleisio gael ei ymestyn i'r rhai sydd rhwng 16 a 18 oed. Felly, mae'n wych gweld eich bod chi wedi mynd ati'n syth, wedi penderfynu rhoi ffocws clir ar dri thestun sy'n bwysig i chi. Yn wahanol i genedlaethau'r gorffennol, dwi'n meddwl, mae'ch cenhedlaeth chi wedi deall pwysigrwydd a gwerth siarad am iechyd meddwl. Mae dealltwriaeth o gyflyrau iechyd meddwl yn well nag erioed, ac mi all pwysau'r Senedd Ieuenctid sicrhau bod ymchwil a chefnogaeth a gwasanaethau iechyd meddwl a llesiant yn dod yn rhan gwbl greiddiol o brofiad addysg, iechyd, gyrfaol a chymdeithasol pobl ifanc ar hyd a lled Cymru. Mae sgiliau bywyd, wedyn, ar y cwricwlwm yn ardal bwysig iawn i roi sylw iddi hi. Mae troi o berson ifanc i oedolyn yn rhywbeth gwych, rydych chi'n amlwg yn mwynhau'r cyfnod yma yn eich bywydau a dwi'n cofio'r cyfnod efo cyffro a hapusrwydd mawr, ond, wrth gwrs, mae yna heriau yn dod yn y cyfnod yna mewn bywyd, o fod yn gyfrifol yn ariannol, gofalu am eich iechyd eich hunan neu ofalu am iechyd pobl eraill drwy CPR ac yn y blaen. Felly, ie, beth am sicrhau bod y gefnogaeth rydych chi eisiau ei chael yno i chi drwy'r system addysg? Ac mae'r ymwybyddiaeth gynyddol wedyn sy'n tyfu o'n ffordd wastraffus ni o fyw yn galonogol iawn hefyd, a chi bobl ifanc sy'n arwain mewn cymaint o ffyrdd, yn cynnwys ar y defnydd o blastig. Felly, efo'ch help chi, mi all Cymru gael gwared ar rai o'n patrymau diog a difeddwl o fyw. Felly bwrwch ati hi. Cofiwch y bydd cefnogaeth a phlatfform y Cynulliad yma o hyd i chi, ond mae hi hefyd yn bwysig inni beidio ag ymyrryd yn eich gwaith chi, a gadael ichi lywio'r ffordd.
