How do you spend your weeknights?


Are you out on the town every night, or do you prefer to concentrate on your studies? We visited the annual Urban Arena event, run by Notting Hill Housing, to find out how you spend your evenings.

Shanay

Shanay, 16 I want to get good A-levels, so at the moment I just stay in and revise. The weekend is for having fun, weeknights are for revision.

Luke

Luke, 18 On weeknights I'll often go football training. Sometimes I go to church to pray for my friends and family. I do like to go clubbing, but apart from that there isn't much else to do where I live.

Robert

Robert, 19 I normally stay at home most weeknights. I play football twice a week. Friday and Saturday nights are definitely for going out!

Bunmi

Bunmi, 17 During the week I like to go out with my friends. Sometimes I'll go for a run in the park, or perhaps I'll go shopping depending on how I'm feeling.

Ryan

Ryan, 18 During the week I like to drink with my boys, go out clubbing, and basically have a good time.

Abbie

Abbie, 16 I don't really do much after school apart from hitting the streets. There's not enough for young people to do on weeknights.

Young Cash

Young Cash, 22 Most nights I sit at home because at the moment I've got an electronic tag. I normally go out raving on the weekends, and on weeknights I watch football and other sports.
