Mike ( aged 16) says
“I smoked my first cigarette
when I was 11. I didn’t want
to but all my friends were
smoking and I didn’t want to
be out of the group. Once I
started I couldn’t stop. I was
addicted… I wish I hadn’t
started. I knew it was wrong
and I didn’t want to”
Ryan (aged 15) says
“I like cars a lot. Me and my friends
started stealing cars over a year ago. I
didn’t want to do it but we all felt we
could have some fun and get away
with it… I’ve been caught twice by the
cops and they say if I do this again I
will go to jail. I wouldn’t do this on my
own but whenever I’m with guys they
makes me do it. “
