How did you spend free time when you were a teenager? The way, I suspect, teenagers everywhere spend their time. I played a lot of football, I hung around with a group of other boys - about five or six of us - trying to meet up with girls. On winter evenings we would do nothing much more than walk the streets of the housing estate where we lived, endlessly, round and round. We smoked for the entertainment value - look, it's coming out my nose! - and drank far too much and far too young. In the early summer we built a bonfire - a project that took many weeks - to be lit on the 11th of July (the night before the 12th July Orange parades). Some time in my mid to late teens this sort of thing began to matter to me less. I started hanging around with people from my school, rather than my estate.
Project examples What was important for you then? Without wanting to be dramatic what was important to me was not ending up dead. The violence in Northern Ireland often seemed terribly random (a lot of it wasterribly random) and I worried pretty much all the time that I would fall victim to its randomness. In many respects I was a very confident youth (too confident, some people would probably say), but in this one crucial respect I was nervous to the point of paranoia. Until that time I mentioned in my mid to late teens all I wanted at the end of each school day was to get back to my housing estate. I was an ardent Unionist in those days, as were the majority of people where I lived. Much more prosaically what mattered to me was (again) football, music, falling in love (I never just went out with a girl, I always fell in love), and, bit by bit as time went on, writing, although I wouldn’t want to make too much of this: lots of young people write .
Project examples What were your dreams when you were a teenager? Early teens? Simple: play for Manchester United. Later teens, well I would blush to say...
