do to change it, it's just how you've been brought up to dislike the other. And I think back then yes maybe you had to choose a side but no I'm like why do we even have sides why can't we all just be equal and put back what you get given? 1

itude has been ingrained in them by their parents. I think most religious tension will become less apparent as young people begin to take up the positions of power previously held by older generations who may still hold prejudice against the ‘other' 1
know that older people are more mature and although they've probably done the same thing when they were younger it was a different time back then and there is absolutely no need for it now. 1

lly [their] dad wouldn't like me because I am Catholic and he is apparently a big 'Prody' [Protestant] which unsettles me. Surely adults would be more accepting to those who may be a different religion but one of your child's friends. 1

on't really know them at all. It's far easier to dislike a group of people when you don't know them, separating us helps us dehumanise each other. There should be more efforts to integrate children from different religions. 1

orange hall meeting/practice and some of us had GAA jerseys on. I don't think that this is a bad thing to say, it's reality and it's important that we acknowledge the differences in our society. It's a sad reality but it's true. People are still hostile 1
ough to properly understand the importance of meeting other children from different religions actually didn't make a significant difference for me, personally I would've preferred it as a teen to fully be able to learn from the experience. At the moment i 1

ry uncomfortable. I wish that ALL religions were respected by everyone and that people were mindful of their comments. 1
segregation between the denominations of Christianity. I don't believe there should be any issues considering it's the same religion. All I ever hear is "I'm not Irish, I'm British" and vise versa when in reality there should be no discussion to begin wit 1

ving, but it is the older generations who cannot get over (admittedly extensive and violent) past conflict, and who influence some younger people to continue the prejudice on both sides. 1
where I live in the countryside it is a mixed community where we all get along and I've met lots of interesting people who share similarities with me and differences. We have an Orange Hall near us which I've never been in, but we have been invited to a C 1
