I live next door to a decent youth centre. For the last month or so there has been an escalating level of silliness between the boys from different areas waiting for the bus home from youth club outside my front door.
I'm pretty sure someone pulled a knife last week.
It was mildly amusing when some of them earlier in the month had pulled their belts off to fight, and were trying to swing belts and hold onto trousers.
It's less amusing thinking you heard someone shouting about a knife.
It is getting into silly season. The better weather seems to trigger something and being able to hang around outside for longer gives more opportunity for these things to happen.
It's all daft and you'd easily dismiss it as japes and laughs if it was just a bit of fists and posturing.
It's no different to when I grew up and boys from different schools had fights. There was always the odd nutjob, now it's "who's got the knife and feels scared".
