TP’s Story

Before she had me she was OK with my Dad but when I was born she didn’t want anything to do with him or me. I believe she decided to leave when my Dad had an accident. When he came home after some months, my mother cleared out and left me with him. At this stage I saw my father breakdown which broke me.

I believe this has had an impact on my life and the way I relate with others, especially girls. It also made me very aggressive. I have been in loads of fights. I have been arrested but have not been to jail yet. I’m not a bad person. I want to do good but sometime I get frustrated.

I came to know about Positive View and am so glad I met Simon Roberts, the photographer, I was touched by how he has to travel the world and meet new people and amazed how what you love doing can give you so much satisfaction.

I am encouraged to do what I love which is to go into the music industry. Maybe I can be a musician who takes his own pictures to create his album."

Positive View has transformed TP’s life, and he is now enjoying a work-experience programme as a runner with a London music production studio.
