London
I wake up every morning and I see the bright blue sky, I hear the birds singing beautifully and recognise the great community filled with multi-cultural people.
You'd think that life in London would be great. Having Buckingham Palace a few bus stops away, nice tourist attractions and having lots of things to do. You couldn't be more wrong.
Behind the hardworking lifestyle in London and behind the cheerful people whistling merrily on their way to work, lies an ugly truth.
Some call it 'Gun/knife crime', others call it "Black on Black crime". Call it whatever but it's affecting London and giving all teenagers in London a bad name.
Over 20 teenagers were killed in 2008 alone. 2009, 10 more have been killed.
It saddens me to know that London, the capital city of England, has turned into a city where guns and knives are taking over and it seems as if no one can stop it.
