SIR – Youth unemployment is the biggest problem facing the nation. I am a typical unemployed young person facing a lifetime on the dole. Here is my day: I went to the bank to collect my job seekers allowance, as I have it paid directly to my bank account – it’s inconvenient having a giro delivered then getting it cashed at the post office. I did not go into the bank to see the cashier, I withdrew my money from a cash point.

I went to the supermarket to do my shopping, but did not go to a checkout with an assistant, instead I went to a self-service till.

I went home and switched on my Chinese computer and applied for jobs online. I didn’t bother sending letters through the post, I used e-mails.

My friend used to work as a shop assistant, but the shop is closing due to lack of business. Other friends used to have jobs as bank cashiers, delivering post, checkout operatives or in the local post office. These jobs are now disappearing.

As an unemployed teenager, there is only one person I can blame for the lack of jobs in Britain – David Cameron. How can he explain to me why so many are losing their jobs?

There is nothing that young people in Britain can do to create jobs. So why doesn’t David Cameron do something about it? The fight back starts now.
