A 17-year-old non-binary pupil says they are being bullied so much, they don't want to continue with their education

A 17-year-old non-binary pupil says they are being bullied so much that they don't want to continue with their education.

Last night on the youth panel of Top Table was Alex, who is 17-year-old non-binary. They had touched on the topic of the transphobic bullying that they had faced. Stephen has been speaking to Alex again this morning and asked him to explain how it felt watching himself on TV last night. We also got reaction from political commentators Alex Kane and Allison Morris, TUV's Sammy Morrison, NI Childrens' Commissioner Koulla Yiasouma, Michael Wardlow from the Equality Commission and we took your calls.

Also on the programme, a number of families in South Belfast out of their homes because of sectarian intimidation. We got reaction from Alliance MLA Paula Bradshaw and Sinn Fein's Máirtín Ó Muilleoir.

And, new statistics show if you live in rural Northern Ireland you are happier, earn more & live longer than those in town and cities. So are culchies really happier than the townies? We asked Belfast man Jim McDowell and country gent John McCallister.
