The UK's first youth police and crime commissioner, Paris Brown, has resigned from her post following criticism of messages she posted on Twitter.
The 17-year-old, who was appointed last week, said she was "quitting in the interests of the young people of Kent".
In a statement, the teenager, from Sheerness, said: "I have made this decision after a great deal of thought and consultation with my family."
She added: "I accept that I have made comments on social networking sites which have offended many people. I am really sorry for any offence caused.
"I strongly reiterate that I am not racist or homophobic."
She said: "I have fallen into the trap of behaving with bravado on social networking sites. I hope this may stand as a learning experience for many other young people."

A harsh lesson for the young lady, but
she appears to have learnt from it - let's hope others do .....
