Welsh rugby legend Dafydd James was quizzed by five school reporters, who have taken over the airwaves at BBC Radio Wales.

"Is rugby too dangerous to play in schools?" they asked.

"It's about teaching young aspiring athletes," Daffyd said. "It's important if you want to try and avoid the injuries, to teach people the correct techniques."

Dafydd advised young players to learn how to tackle and to fall safely.

But when asked about his own rugby injuries, he didn't know where to start.

"The list goes on!" he says. "Ligament injuries, knees, groin injuries, soft tissue...The worst one was a fractured neck."

He described the school reporters as "exceptional, very structured and professional".

Pupils from Queens Park Community School in London have been visiting BBC New Broadcasting House, as part of the School Report News Day.

Body image obsession is one of the hardest things facing teenagers. But Dr Xand said weight should not be associated with happiness. 

"I can dredge up lots of things I don't like about my body," he said. "I used to be double the weight I am now.  

"What I always notice is that no one will love you any more, or like you anymore when you lose weight. 

"It's good to be fit, it's good to be healthy and it's good to have control of your life. But it isn't good to associate those things with your value as a person." 

These school reporters are going for celebrity news!

These school reporters from Holgate Academy in Hucknall visited BBC Nottingham yesterday as part of BBC School Report .

They spent some time with the online team and got a behind-the-scenes look at a BBC East Midlands Today bulletin being filmed too.

Today, they're going to be using some of the tips they picked up to work on some stories for us.

BBC School Report

Here's the young conductor Matthew in action...

This School Report covers how senior students are teaching classes at a Dumfriesshire school to improve mental health.

Ellie and Vicky say the aim is to encourage young people to speak about any personal issues they might have.

Operation Ouch stars Dr Chris and Dr Xand told the Radio Theatre event that their lives have got better every year since they were teenagers. 

"School is traumatic and difficult for everyone and everything is much easier now," said Dr Chris.

"I don't know anyone who would turn the clock back and thinks 'I would love to be 13 again'. It will get better."

Derby Moor Community Sports College has some great School Report ideas submitted by pupils. 

Amaria got the chance to give her head teacher a grilling about grades and whether exams were a reliable reflection of students’ potential.

Mia has been researching the equality of women when it comes to sport, especially football. 

So, would either of them like a career in journalism?

"You get to do something and focus on something that interests you," Amaria told BBC Radio Derby. "But I wouldn't do it as a proper job - it was nice but I don’t think I'd choose it as a career."

We may have a little more convincing to do...

Molly is telling the 250 people in the Radio Theatre event about bullying and how we should never be bystanders.

She made a video, external with her friends to highlight the problem of labeling and to encourage people to stamp it out. 

"Labels are wrong, mean and hurtful," said one. "Nothing good comes out of it."

"Whilst labels suck, they don't define us," said another.

"Don't let someone's words hurt you or let them hurt others."

Speaking from the event at the Radio Theatre, the BBC's health correspondent Jane Draper said Wales was "ahead of the pack" when it comes to helping teens with their mental health. 

It is now a legal requirement for Welsh schools to employ counsellors. 

Jane said those who have spoken to counsellors have seen great improvements in their personal lives and in their school work. 

It takes a few tries to get the perfect set to deliver the news!

Five pupils from Mountain Ash Comprehensive School in South Wales have been urged to "tell stories about where you come from" by actor Michael Sheen.

The Hollywood star, from Port Talbot, told the students on BBC Radio Wales: "You shouldn't ever be wary of telling people you're from the Valleys, you should sell it."

He added: "People have a romantic, sentimental version of Wales, as all these happy little coal miners.

"We should be pushed to tell our stories and get people understanding the reality."

Michael said he missed Wales whenever he was away when asked if he preferred his American friends.

He added that his biggest heroes were the Welsh actors Richard Burton and Anthony Hopkins.  

His one piece of advice to the pupils was that "no one can give you advice".

He explains: "It's up to you, follow your heart. Be inspired by other people but follow your own path."
