“One of my friends was stabbed and killed. I didn’t want to be just another statistic. I thought ‘there’s more to life than this’.”
“People were talking about their skiing holidays and other things I had no experience of. I felt like a fish out of water. I didn’t belong.”
“We knew we couldn’t ask for ice cream, chocolate or toys because there was no money."
