Tom Letts Blog gives a teenager’s perspective on life in Haringey.

I'm 16 and I go to University College School. My greatest interest is film, and I try to watch as many as I can, whenever I can — the same goes for books I suppose, but 16-year-old boys aren't really supposed to brandish that about.
I also enjoy football, and can often be seen looking very hot and sweaty in Priory Park. I play the piano and try to play the guitar, but I'm good at neither. I see this blog not only as a means of dispelling anything I am in danger of over-thinking, but as a platform for me give readers some sense of what the younger generation, or I, being one of them, think of things. If not, then I hope the entries will, at the very least, amuse someone out there.

Bugs take flight

At the time of writing I’m hurtling through the air in a glorified tin can. The air is cool and recycled - it feels artificial as it seamlessly hits the back of my throat. I’m trying not to think about how many different passengers aboard this flight this air has already passed through.

A sitting cliché?

The other day, I was the victim of an unprovoked and vaguely insulting torrent of abuse from a complete stranger. While minding my own business sitting outside a Crouch End café, a just-about-middle-aged woman approached me and told me how pathetic I was. Admittedly, she was probably right.
