Forest Flava press gang.

Age: 17

Town: Walthamstow

Likes: Chocolate (a lot!), writing, drama and dancing.

Dislikes: Spiders and dogs!

You should read my stories because: Unlike my elder counterparts, I have a different perspective of events going on and you can’t really talk about teenage views without asking a teenager.

No fear

Violence

ANOTHER week and another violent attack runs in the newspaper headlines. Another young person shot or stabbed for a reason we desperately try to find.
