YOUNG Bradfordians have weighed in on one of life's biggest questions - what is the best advice to live by?

The 2011 census found that Bradford has the youngest, fastest growing population outside of London. The future is now, as they say, so we wanted to ask them, what matters most in life and what advice would you give?

These young people - aged 6 to 17 - give us a glimpse of what values will shape society in the coming years. And, through their words of wisdom, it seems there is a lot to be hopeful about.
