Teenagers fear streets of violence
STABBINGS, physical and verbal abuse and motorcycle chain fighting.
These are just some of the vicious outbreaks of terror seen by Blackpool young people in their time growing up
And resort teenagers say things are only getting worse.
Gang warfare in London has seen young people stabbed to death while three men in Greater Manchester were fatally injured in knife attacks in the last week alone.
Sadly, in some areas, it has become a part of our young people’s culture.
Blackpool may not be the mean streets of urban gangland, but local children are fully aware of the threat.But students spoken to by The Gazette said they would not want to see extra security at schools as it would increase levels of fear among pupils.
