Oppurtunities for youths

I am 14 years old and I believe that youths in UK do not get the opportunities equal to adults. Is it because adults are grown up and much mature then us. Not a chance, you cannot get every child immature and every adult mature. I am a passionate young determined filmmaker. I have done many projects revolving film making, the only reason is because I am determined to gain as much experience I can. Steven Spielberg didn't become inspiring and one of the best directors because he thought one day looking at the window 'I know what I can do, film making!!'. He started at a young age and experience all the opportunities open to him. Now, there is nothing for young people apart from young film making festivals and a couple of workshops. Shouldn't the government open there minds to youths who could be one of the best director's in the future? I did a lot of research and still do, to always look for another opportunity open to me. I would never give up, that is what makes me so determined. If you was really interested you would tick all the boxes of opportunities. There is nothing to loose when trying hard in life but there is much to gain in the future.
