Are British teens out of control?
I couldn’t say… but the element of gun and knife crime has always been there – but it has recently become more of a serious problem. In urban areas like London, Liverpool, Nottingham & Birmingham on the street some kids have started taking knives out with them for protection, cuz there’s more of a “gang” culture now. But yeah, as others have said – it’s not all teens. I’m 18 and I don’t cause trouble and the street and I don’t carry a weapon with me when I go out. I’ve been in trouble with the police before – but I’ve learned from my mistakes and it’s because I was hanging around with the wrong people… some teens need to learn to stay away from the wrong crowd.
