Are you worried about Brexit?

Prime Minister Theresa May plans to trigger Article 50 on Wednesday (29 March), meaning Britain will start to leave the European Union (EU).
Although Brexit’s been in the news for several months, we haven’t officially left the EU yet. In fact, we haven’t even officially started the process of leaving.
That’s because the process is very complicated. No country that chooses to leave the EU can begin their exit until they trigger something called Article 50. Once this is triggered the country has two years to agree the details of their departure with the EU.
On Wednesday, Prime Minister Theresa May will trigger Article 50, formally telling the European Council and officially beginning this process, according to Downing Street.
As First News went to press, European Council President Donald Tusk (top right) announced that an EU Council meeting will be held on 29 April to discuss Brexit.
In other words, Brexit has definitely begun.

Yes. We're doomed. Doomed!
But seriously I'm pretty sure that it wouldn't be to far off to say that if you so much as critisise Brexit then Theresa May will tell you to stop or they'll sue you or something.
shpee · 8 years ago
Also, most think tanks and stuff seem to say that the economy won't do very well after leaving.

After we leave we will not be as secure as we where, however we will become more stable and secure than before.

I am worried because we won't be able to travel freely across european borders and it will also be harder for people to come into this country

We might lose our money or our country or even food.

Yes, I'm worried! Brexit only happened because other people were better at persuading than others. It will be another 30 years or so until there will be another referendum for this topic. And now, everyone realises that Brexit is a horrible idea! But now it's too late to change. Though, if children got to vote, we wouldn't be in 'mess'!

I think that leaving the EU was a ridiculous idea, I think that David Cameron shouldn't have held that referendum in the first place!

list me 5 things the eu did for us
· 8 years ago
ah did not mean todo that twice
first thing they did: cost us £350 million a week
and nothing else so I'm not scared
perthgirl · 8 years ago
i have heard a lot about it and it really scares me because they are being really rough on the other countries.
1isme · 8 years ago
The majority of the UK voted to leave so if we don't leave our country would be under goverment dictatorship.
shpee · 8 years ago
The "£350 million" claim misses out rebate, so it's less than that. It's about £100 million less. That's still a lot, but for that we get access to the largest free market, free travel throughout EU countries along with benefits such as easy access to go to school in those countries. So, I'd say that that money is worth it.
dreads · 8 years ago
in this case we will have more and more terror attacks but on the bright side we have
less rules on our country so don't be scared that more terrorists will invade and kill us but still I think less rules in the UK sort of ok with it
dreads · 8 years ago
Theresa may is foolish to actually trigger article 50 on us this is bad but, we will have less rules like
going to school for longer or how much sugar we eat so Theresa may sucs

IT IS PLAIN SILLY
That annoying THERESA MAY could just hold another vote, now that people are starting to see the problems with brexit.

I am very scared but Theresa May is tying to protect children and ordinary people so I support her

It will make work(when we're older) in other countries that are still in the EU harder and we will need a visa...
uniquepika · 8 years ago
I now understand what brexit is and i am worried because leaving the EU could attract more terrorists into England and the UK.

I don't think we should worry too much. Theresa may is doing all she can to help us. Are you most worried about Brexit or Trump?

We should not worry because if we do it will only make it worse. This is all about leaving the EU but we shouldn't worry as it won't be the end of the world.
· 8 years ago
Trump is probably worse to be honest. brexit is the least of our worries.............?
even though Theresa May is a poop.?
evadore · 8 years ago
I'm sure it'll make Britain a better place and all that, but I'm pretty sure it could also mean danger, because it could draw the attention of terrorists.
· 8 years ago
I think that the young generation, us children, could be in a very different country in the future when we are no longer part of the EU.

I am very unsure so I am worried.

Yes! This could be a big mistake. Brexit only happened because other people were better at persuading than others. It will be another 30 years or so until there will be another referendum. And now, everyone realises that Brexit is a horrible idea! But now it's too late to change. Though, if children had been able to vote, we wouldn't be in this 'mess' and brexit probably wouldn't have happened. Now it is happening I trust Teresa May to make the right decisions.

Yes they're not sorting any of it out and they are saying to wait 7 more weeks! i'm a journalist and i'm going to write about this in the newspaper for the gazete

When I heard about the decision that we made to leave the EU I was very worried. And, although I am not happy about this decision, Theresa may has ensured me that it will be safe.
RedWombat · 8 years ago
We don't know exactly how the other countries in Europe and the ? will react to us leaving. There are lots of good points about leaving the EU, but there are risks as well.

why don't we just revote
unicorn21 · 8 years ago
I don't think we should leave the EU! There wasn't even a decent reason for having the referendum in the first place. We might not be able to go to Europe as easily and it will be harder for people to come to the uk.

Teresa May's stupid, and we are in a mess if only we were allowed to vote the world would be a better place.
Also we aren't going to get a good deal either.The adults have left a massive mess for us to sort out when we are older and know Teresa Mays called a election.We are completely doomed!!!

I am worried about the EU because it will depend on the people. And what if you do not like what they agree?
ponysunite · 8 years ago
i am not worried because even though i didn't want to leave the EU i know that it was for the best and maybe things will improve and we might love it. Also we should be thankful to have such an important decision in are lives and i am sure everything will be great!!!

i know a girl who has a mum who is french and a dad who is American. The reason that they can stay here is because France is in a the EU. Her dad trades coffee in other countrys, the next time he leaves he may not be able to get back into England
flameemily · 7 years ago
I'm worried but we are not doomed! We can cope without the EU but it may be harder. This country has done it before, I would prefer if we had remained but I am sure either way will be fine. Theresa May has nothing to do with deciding whether we leave or not, she is just the person taking us through the process.
· 7 years ago
Yes because if my family and I wanted to go on holiday to France , we would have to pay a fortune !?
CATz01 · 7 years ago
No way am I worried. We have got loads of trade agreements.
· 7 years ago
Seriously, we are all probably going to DIE ? because of stupid BRETIX! If we have a war then we are going to have to defend ourselves without help from the other countries in the EU. If only under 18's voted, we would be staying in the EU!!! I DO NOT like Teresa May. (she goes to the same hairdressers as me)?

The UK grew stronger and cleverer while we were in the EU and now the exchange rate has gone down, the freedom of travel between EU countries will be lessened and we just won't be as good.
