Teenagers on the girls' Blackburn estate have nowhere to go, they say

Here, two of the Blackburn-based youngsters, Stacey and Leanne, talk about their experiences.

We don't have anything to do. The police don't listen, and there's nobody supporting us, no-one's helping us.

There's a lot of graffiti near where we live. The binmen should take more responsibility too. They should send people out to keep the gardens clean.

If our area looks cleaner, we are going to get more visitors.

The website features photographs showing the teenagers' problems

A lot of adults are scared of teenagers and the way we react to things. But there's not really anything to do.

All we've got is the local swimming centre, a sport's store and a cinema, but people aren't interested in them anymore, they've been too many times.

We need a graffiti wall for people to tag, that would help.

We need a to open a place for arts and crafts, so that kids can do something creative.

"There needs to be more part-time jobs for teenagers as well.

If they had a job they wouldn't be getting into drugs. They'd be working for their money.

They wouldn't want to be spending their money on drugs because it was their money they'd earned.

"It's really hard to find anything to do where we live, it's all bingo for the old people, there's nothing for us.

"There's lots of empty gardens and houses that could be used for young people. There should be somewhere we can go to talk to people and get advice.

There's lot of kids drinking on the streets, they're drinking day and night.

If there's bullying, you can't talk to the police, they don't seem to want to help.

And if you're on the streets standing outside people's houses, they come along and move us on. They put pressure on us. We're on out own streets, doing nothing."
