A tale of two teenagers - urban vs rural
How does the life of a young person living in a city of over 1 million people compare with that of a young person living in the countryside?
Liam Murphy, 17, Yardley, Birmingham
(Birmingham​ is a city and metropolitan borough in the West Midlands, England. It is the second-largest city, urban area and metropolitan area in England)
What do you like about your area?
Birmingham's really built up; there's a lot of different people and cultures. I love how you can just jump on a bus in two minutes and meet up with friends. Everything's ​really close.
What do you dislike?
I suppose the crime. Some of the really good areas are next to the really bad ones. You have to take the good and the bad, but I don't think crime's that bad here. I feel safe walking around at night. But if I see a big group of people, I wouldn't go up to them.
What things are there to do for young people?
There's always something to do. There's cinemas in both Birmingham and Solihull city centres. I'm not into sport, but there are many leisure centres, gyms and martial arts places around if that's what you're interested in. I don't know if there are any clubs for people my age. I think people are more inclined to go out with their friends alone – shopping, going to each other's houses, loitering around town, etc – as ​opposed to going to more controlled ​activities such as youth clubs.
How do you get around town?
Birmingham and Solihull town centres are both about 20 minutes on the bus. I take the bus any time of day, but I wouldn't go upstairs. At the moment, it's too expensive to drive.
What do you do at weekends and in the evenings?
I go out with friends. We go into town, go to the cinema, get something to eat. The clubs are really strict on ID [so they don't go clubbing]. I used to go to youth clubs. Now we spend a lot of time in the park messing about – not drinking or anything.

What do you think it would be like to live in the countryside?
I think I would hate living in the countryside. It seems there would be nothing at all to do and everyone would be in bed by 8pm.
Amie Hibbert, 18, Yeovil, Somerset
(​Yeovil​ is a town in south Somerset with a population of around 45,000) What do you like about your area?
I like the fact that there is a lot of greenery and grass everywhere. I also like the fact that there are a lot of different social groups, but most of the time we all get along.
What do you dislike?
There isn't much to do around the area. There are a few venues where music gigs and events are held, but these aren't very often. I think that there should be more entertaining things to do.
How do you get around town?
I use the bus. If I didn't have my bus pass I would be paying a fortune to get to and from college. I only live six miles away, but that means I would have to pay £6.50 for a return.
What do you do at weekends and in the evenings?
Usually, I work, but if I have days off I go shopping or head to the beach.
