The Most Dangerous Place In Britain: “You Can Get Stabbed Walking Anywhere”

- Cleveland - a relatively small area on the North East Coast of England, covering parts of Yorkshire, Durham and Teesside. It’s not just the River Tees which flows through the region - it’s crime too.
Crime rates across Middlesbrough, Hartlepool, Stockton and Redcar are the highest of anywhere in the country. And with violent offences the biggest contributor - it’s the most dangerous place in Britain.

"I used to carry a knife to protect myself" proceeds to tell a story about trying rob someone and stabbing them for not cooperating.
Haha a joke right
Should be living in a basic cell, with basic food, breaking rocks 4 hours a day, combined with basic education for the other 4. Repeat for 10 years.
@FarObserver it's really not rocket science
He's talking shite....never stabbed anyone
Same logic as Hamas
"He came round and stabbed me, stabbed me, stabbed me, and I thought, oh no" Most British response ever!

Guy is more likely to stab himself carrying around a knife like that
Yeah thats so dangerous
Only COWARDS carry knives

"I asked him for all his money"...."unfortunately he got stabbed up 11 times". No sense of personal responsibility or remorse, after 14 years in jail.
It simply happened
A psychopath and a narcacist
What he meant to say was, ‘I was a knife carrying robber, my victim fought back and I stabbed him 11 times. I was totally at fault and I am a reformed character’. I don’t believe a word of his BS version of events, and not properly challenged by the reporter!
Y is he out after 14 years tho? These ppl shouldn’t be let out of a jail cell ever…or should live with an ankle bracelet thing to monitor their every move… no way u stabbed some1 11 times then get out after 14 years … he could do it again and do another 14 years like wats the point
Still didn’t get the money so what was the point
Who wants to fight for this Britain? British Soldiers who fought bravely in WW2 are rolling in their graves if they saw what the UK has become.
The fact the army only pay mediocre wage of 18k a year also has something to do with it
Ww2 wasn't what your lead to believe ,hitler rose to power in American occupied Germany with American money

@@lasakau272 The Peaky Blinders stabbings probably pale in comparison to the amount that occur in Britain daily nowadays.

This is really unfortunate What a coincidence 😂😂😂
Sadly every UK city now has an area like this. It's years of poverty, deprivation, poor mental health and addiction. It's almost impossible to escape.
It is possible to escape, stop taking drugs and put your mind to something productive, no excuses! We can’t keep making excuses the takers are as bad as the dealers! If they didn’t buy we wouldn’t have the problem. The stuff is awful and ruins lives!
No it's not, it's Anarcho-tyranny, the government is deliberately allowing these people to roam free so they can justify the 100% surveillance agenda they are pushing.
Not an excuse
@@anthonyelwick3600, yes it is, it's the excuse industry. These people are never ever responsible for their own actions.

My Dad’s from Middlesbrough. The Gov have abandoned the North East. Such a shame as it was a bustling steel works and ship building area on the River. I still have family there. How awful . Bless Boro and her people.
They did it in our mining towns also take jobs away from the small isolated towns what will happen 20-30 years later due to extreme poverty
These towns can compete with Chinese shipbuilding or mining… it’s not the governments fault. People have access to the internet… you can learn anything… no excuses
I completely agree, I'm from the north east originally and the area has been dieing and left abandoned by multiple governments for decades
Its not even about labour or torrie any more they are both at fault
I've lived in Stockton-on-Tees for six year, never had an issue with anyone. The thing I have found is, if you are in that drug world or in that scene of crime or violence, you will find trouble and you will have a sticky end. If you are just minding your own business and not part of their world, they leave you alone. Cleveland also doesn't exist anymore, it's County Durham and North Yorkshire these places are located in. Cleveland was ended in 1996.
This is very true and I always try to tell people that. There’s an off chance that you can walk through a dark park or a dodgy area in a bad neighborhood in midnight and get attacked but like honestly what do you expect? We gotta use a special thing that apparently not everyone has called a brain 🤣
Me too never seen any trouble
Cleveland is still a thing mate. Its still called Cleveland Police...

you can't claim to carry a knife for protection and then go around mugging people and stabbing them because you didn't get a cigarette. this here is the issue, you let them all claim its for protection but its really because you're weak and want to just stab someone. he clearly doesn't feel that bad because the knife wasn't used in self defence and he knows it was never for self defence.
Well said
honestly u cant just assume that. really.
@@infinnite4938 its literally what he said he done, its not an assumption. if he was carrying it for self defence, he would be using against those attacking him, not the other way around.

The law is a joke in England, bums are not afraid of a couple of years in prison, when will England ever learn. I’m just saddened by the state the UK is in, shame on us all.
Bums? Do you think you're in Chicago or something?
It won't learn. It will keep putting up with everything the government forces on them. And when it gets too much, the government will pretend they are going to finally do something, spin a bit of propaganda, and we'll lost a few more of our rights and descent that little bit closer into tyranny. Freedom has to be fought for, and no one in Britain has any fight in them - we saw that through COVID. And don't expect the army to do anything - they'll obey the Eton toffs.
Jails are a joke 🤣🤣 they eat , smoke drugs , drink alcohol, have mobile phones , gym,their friends around and get street respect 😅😅 I can't understand the prison system.
Where's labor to pay the bills ??? Who's in jail me or them ???
True, yet the police are wasting time on arresting auditors who are filming around police stations on public land which is totally legal instead of arresting these drug dealers.
If you send them to jails in Singapore and then they will be worried.
Good to see one good piece of proper journalism! Thanks 🙏🏻
Its good to know that the government saw this area and thought

The myth was only London had stabbings. In fact it's tame compared to northern towns and cities, these areas are far more rough than London.
A bloke I know moved to Qatar as an expat. He told me he often leaves the front door of his house & windows open, even whilst sleeping, but over here that's asking for trouble! He even said he leaves his car keys, mobile phone, loads of cash and expensive jewellery in his car with all the windows open and doors unlocked, and to this day not even a penny has gone missing even when he's been abroad on holiday or for work. If we left our car keys in our car and walked away from it, guarantee within 15 minutes someone will drive it to a ferry going to Japan. Going onto knives, anyone caught in possession of a knife, firearm or any weapon in Qatar is thrown straight in jail and the police can search you at any point without you kicking up a fuss whereas you see people throwing hissyfits over stop and search.
Sounds like people in Qatar are not willing to do the crime possibly due to their strict measures (and rightly so). Not sure if they chop arms off for stealing, possibly gospel and rumours but that's a separate issue. We're way too soft on criminals, they barely get a slip on the wrist and when they've served their sentence, most of them are back at it!
His life would be significantly different if he were a woman, mind.
@YourLocalGP yeah Qatar is a country that exemplifies the point of referring to the good parts of a bad system. I think we should be tougher on crime in this country.
@YourLocalGP misconception. I actually find people more respectful and accommodating here in the middle east. Women are comfortable and well looked after by society.
It's not just a Qatar thing. In Japan you can leave your wallet in the street and be pretty sure to find it where it was an hour later. I've lived in Iceland for a year and haven't locked my house's door even once. And most countryside place in Europe were like that as well. If people are educated, employed, and that a shared sense of community and respect exists, you don't need to chop somoene's off to live in peace.

I move from London to Stockton recently, this place is safer than London 100% and is the best decision I ever made.TalkTV should go to London instead of Cleveland.
I live in Thornaby work in Yarm and everyone from Stockton, Norton, Middlesbrough etc thinks Yarm is really posh 😂
I think it’s a bit stuck up full of millenials , gen z with inflated lips over dressed always taking selfies but in stockton you can talk to random people in pubs or while you’re stood outside having a cigarette 😂
I agree. Lived in London and moved up North. the worst parts up North are like a joke compared too London. Never felt unsafe here even in the "worst" areas. It's laughable.
I used to live in Boro more than 10 years ago and even back then Yarm was regarded as posh :D @@TayWoode

People won’t like to hear it but I’m afraid the breakdown of the family, lack of good parenting, absent fathers. The list could go on, but there is no getting away from it these are causes. I can remember when our country wasn’t like This because these young men had jobs to walk into when they left school. As the saying goes, Idle hands make mischief.
💯🎯
But we have more "rights", that matters more! They say.
100 percent absent fathers and no discipline, no good father role models. A kid isn't gonna listen to it's mother if all their mates are from broken families and doing what they want
Parenting has been taken away from parents
What do you think is causing the absent fatherhood? Are the fathers not living with their kids/out of their lives all together or are they there but just unable to control their kids?
Sucks too because I'm a student at Teesside Uni and the campus and University are fantastic, but as soon as you step off it's such a disappointment.
This is important because it also breaks the scapegoat that all of UK's crime problems are due to immigration. There's a deeper problem going on here and it needs to become the absolute top priority of the government. This is tragic.
Thank you!
Totally agree
But Middlesborough does have heavy immigration, particularly in recent years, they are not the cause of these issues (that would be the closing down of pretty much all major industry in the region) but they certainly do not help, many first generation families send a lot of their earnings back home rather than investing in the local community in any positive way. Then there are foregin illegal migrants that come specifically for the purpose of working in the drug trade and trafficking other individuals to work in grow houses etc. Those groups often clash with local white gangs and on and on. Although you cant blame these people for the situation their arrival does not help in any way at all and often results in more violence and racial and religious hatred, divides etc...
@@charliederrick1583 blame illegal immigration. Not all immigrants. 2000 nurses from india are coming next month to join NHS as there is lack of nurses in UK. You guys crying about it but you completely ignore all the illegal boats coming to your land from Africa

My partner spent 3 years living in Hartlepool for university, and I used to visit regularly. I can confirm there is absolutely no hope left in Teeside.

It’s in the roughest areas you’ll find a small portion of the most down to earth people. It’s because they’ve seen the horrors and bullshit, yet they still try to get about their day.

20:46 hearing him talk about the levels of crime in the area (where I live) is actually embarrassing. I've never seen someone so in denial about the current state of affairs in Teesside, there's areas where the police don't dare to go into because even they fear the gangs that have taken over. Granted, there are estates which are hubs for criminal activity but that doesn't mean that crime is contained to those areas.
I moved from Stockton a few years ago because of how bad it was; in the first week of living in Stockton 3 people were over in an intentional hit and run, then after a year I was burgled while I was asleep in front of the TV. One night I came home to find my landlord had let himself into the house, after a brief argument I locked him out since he didn't give any notice at it was 7pm... He kicked my door in and stole my keys. The police caught up with him on his way home and proceeded to let him go and no further action was taken. Months later he got arrested for growing weed in the very same house I rented from him. It's like the wild west in Teesside at the minute and only people who refuse to look don't see how rampant the criminals are here.
Good luck to the lads trying to change things for the better. 👍
I've never seen a person carrying a knife, close to his jewels with out a sheath.

And immigrants since 1997 have come in and these working class lads get overlooked. Companies would rather recruit abroad than train people.
@@stretfordender11 They're being replaced.
Poor parenting and a lack of responsibility are a big cause of this.

This is the things that happen in England it’s so chavvy
Sadly most of Britain is like this now, very dangerous, high crime levels huge poverty rates with 1 in 5 people in the country starving and having to visit food banks according to the governments on statistics. Great Britain is wreaked because of mismanagement from the Government for far to long. A replacement government is needed asap to repair the damage if Britain is salvageable at all.
Illegal immigration is to blame as well... Hundreds are entering Dover alone every single day and have been for years. If anyone thinks that this won't affect your way of life then you are very much mistaken.
i lived in Cleveland for 5 years. The nicest most hard working humble people I've ever met. The place as been forgotten it's like a huge experiment on how to destroy a community. My partner still lives and works there.
What year was that?
I lived in Middlesbrough for 9 months. I can confirm it is an absolute cesspit of a place.
worst place i have ever been to i only go there because my girlfriends family somehow lives there to visit them
Lived in MIddlesbrough for a year in 2005. It always wasn't a very pleasent area to live. Not pretty. But for me, the people were very friendly all the time and I never faced a dangerous situation. Looks, that it got way worse since then.
I am visiting Middlesbrough every now and then, but you don't get what its really like when you just stay a few days downtown and in Saltburn.
the woman who said, when drugs are about and they're not legalised, there's a hell of a lot of crime has it spot on. if we want to change this epidemic we need to legalise drugs and take the power away from the criminals
I lived in Middlesbrough for just under a year, when I was in my early 20s, now in my 40s. Having lived most of my life in Cornwall prior to the move, it was an absolutely horrific culture shock for me. Within the first week of being there, we were burgled and a friend of my then boyfriend was stabbed on the way back from uni. I saw teens robbing jewellery shops, I was assaulted by kids on bikes on the way back from work, we heard prostitutes heckling all night, police helicopters overheard most nights. I was happy to move back to Cornwall after 8 months.
@@ShadzGG Not sure what part of Cornwall you’re referring to. I know some parts are rather rough, as with all counties. But I’d have to disagree and say that it’s not turning anywhere near the same as Middlesbrough. However maybe I’m too far away from the crime to know about it.
Sounds like Birmingham 😂😅
@@funkubus421Nah. You are right. Cornwall isn't anything like Middlesbrough. I live South Coast now. Grew up North East. And it's a different kind of rough up north. Oddly though, the people are friendlier that aren't in gangs. I always explained the first 20 odd years of my life in the North like this. You get both extremes. You got people that are rougher than rough. Glass you, stab you for nothing just coz they in a mood. But at the same time. Strangers are also overly sound when they want to be. I used to go out drinking. And lads would get you to drink with them at their table if you are just on your ones or with a mate etc. People in shops and strangers on busses just chatting to each other. When I moved down South in my early 20s. I had my Mrs looking at me all strange for talking to strangers in the supermarket or at the bar in a pub. You don't get that down South. Sadly I've loves here nearly as long as I lived up North now and I'm one of those Southerners now and I barely talk to strangers. Ppl just think ya after something like you can't genuinely just be saying hello. So yh. North - friendliest and roughest part of England in my experience. I don't think London knife crime is rough.

I live in Whitby which is 30 mile south along the coast from Middlesbrough after watching this... I am scared
Knife crime is literally the norm here. But can agree that the guy saying “stabbed me stabbed me and I thought, oh no” was very British

Well said mate.
We pray for all the family and friends of those who have lost a loved one through knife crime. We pray that we can all learn to talk things out rather than fighting and killing each other. We need peace and love in every estate, every village, town, city and our communities across this beautiful country.

Before moving away, I lived in Middlesbrough for 36 years (my whole life). I’m glad I got out when I did. Wouldn’t like to think I’d be bringing my daughter up around there now. Funnily enough, I lived next door to the person who murdered Barbara Dunne’s son with an ornamental samurai sword for a brief period when he was released from prison for his murder. He threatened me with a kitchen knife on my front door step, but I had no idea who he was at the time. Not until the police told me anyway. Clearly a reformed character.
Which country do you live in now? Roy chubby brown also left Middlesbrough

Cause there are strict human rights laws
All labour advocates and judges run parallel gouv
The reality is this doesn’t happen in dubai so the model of zero tolerance and harsh sentences are needed.
Government stands in the way of improving
It’s disgusting! I live in a small town in West Yorkshire and over recent years the government have placed criminals in our town. They’ve built centres with flats full of people coming out of prison and people on drugs ect. There’s homeless people sleeping in the doorways and bushes 😢 begging for money to feed their habits. Police are non existent. The neighbouring town to us is even worse by far! Most shops are closed and bordered up and there’s hardly any English people. English people are the minority. This country is beyond help now
what race was shown in this video lmaooooo...help your own ffs!@@Toonarmydee
I'm sorry to hear Talk TV is struggling financially given the quality of reporting like this.
I think we should be embarrassed. People died fighing for this country, and look what its turned into. I feel embarrassed anyway. This country needs to be cleaned up.
This is fruit of Tony Blair’s 1997 dystopian view for the future.
His mate looking thinking u sosage
Why bring Blair into it if anything he transformed our town center from a dump into a modern town I remember the first year labour got In Huyton got a new library a new McDonald's a new bus terminal and completely transformed so he was good from 97 to 2001
Margaret Thatcher privatization of housing! If you want to get out you cant, there's no where to go, you cant take the job you will never be able to afford the rent. Its going to get worse the Country is gone. People do drugs there stuck as rents to high and pay is to low there's no future for many.
@user-tx1rr3rb1q Oh wow a new McDonalds! What a treat! Definitely makes up for the rest of the sh!t he did whilst in power.
you think it was all roses before that? throughout the 80s and 90s, gun violence spiralled out of control, one because many guns were legal and two, cocaine business exploded across the globe. wouldn't conservatives be to blame for all that? privatising housing, shutting down all the mining towns? surely that amount of pressure and poverty put onto someones life would have a bigger impact lol.
Modern day Britain resembling Columbia. I do not have children and never will. The state of the UK is one of the reasons.
Right on, if you truly love your kids, don't have them. Funny how they call people who don't want to have kids selfish.
Yeh i worry about my 3 year old everyday now. This country is going down the pan...why do people wanna come here?! Started locking my car doors when i get in with my son....it never used to cross my mind, only the last couple of years
Unfortunately it's only the wrong types of people that want to keep having kids
Over population due to immigration. Newer immigrants have took jobs the native and older immigrants could have been trained in. That’s why the black Londoners have been left behind too.
Colombia is nicer than the uk ...and no benefit system !!!stop talking bs
Worked in Holme House, a safe-zone and free housing for all the lovely people in this vid. whilst about 60-70% of them seemed like normal people, they are troubled, but all certainly under-educated.
It seems a lack of consequential understanding of the action these people take along with the lax punishment and/or lack of incentive for these people to do better, is what contributes to their primal instincts to take over and ultimately resport to crime. Crime as this is the easiest path for them to follow with the illusion it will help them 'get by'. Just to make it clear, it must be appreciated that when these people have nothing, they have 'nout to loose'. It's politics driving the crime, not the people.
How bleaker can it get!? Sorry for those kids having to grow up in such an area.
What a cesspit. This country is beyond repair! Our great grandfather's fought for this once beautiful Britain and now look it. Absolute disgrace!
Not to spoil your idea of the past but it’s never been beautiful mate. Maybe if you’re rich and white. Poor areas end up like this because the conditions they are placed under based on mostly societal disadvantages. Our government is mostly to blame. Our county has always been bad and areas like this have always been here
The country our great grandparents fought for was much more crime ridden and stabby. It took until 2019 for London to beat WWII levels of knife crime…
And guess who raised the current generations? That’s right, the very same boomers you’re talking about. Give it a rest.
@@steveo4991stabbings was not high during world war 2 that’s a load of bull. Crime rate didn’t hit hard until 1980s-1990s during to stats. Then again stabbings wasn’t even high during those times either since guns was more attainable apparently during those times so it was either fist fights or Shootouts. There was a lot of physical crime but it was more of group fights and fist fights or weapons such as bats.
@@nastykash9557 Yeah the 2019 stat of “knife crime in the UK hit its highest levels since WWII” was just part of muh conspiracehhhhhh. Flap your gums somewhere else, nobody’s buying.

I lived in Middlesbrough from 2015-2018. We were burgled and had our car stolen. Had gangs of kids banging on our door nightly and threatened at local shops. I truly believe I’d of been stabbed or worse had we stayed there. All because I wasn’t from Middlesbrough.
Fantastic documentary
Hilarious when "reporters/journalists" report on this and seem shocked, goes to show how out of touch and distant some people are.
Maybe they're not from that area?
@@johnc3525 I think on a Talk TV salary that's highly likely to be the case.
@@Andygb78yeah this all seems a bit exploitative and sneering
No, it called journalism, you are the one out of touch if you can't see that. Nobody is interested in a report couched in the terms of there is nothing unusual to see here.
No, they're not out of touch. Do you see this sort of thing in Linthorpe, Acklam or Yarm? Not really, so unless someone is from the area and goes out at night, they won't see this and the same goes for every major town and city.
Uk law literally says if u get caught with a knife on the street you’re gonna do 4 to 10 years in prison. I’ve literally seen police stop people, find knives on them, and told them “if i catch you again with something like this on ya, you’re going to jail”
Criminal name Khyre stabbed victim in tomach in Soton, luckily victim survived, Khyre got only two years sentence. After serving Kyre moved to Birmingham, within a year he stabbed another victim to death over £50 dispute, Khyre serving 22 years sentence, I think he'll serve 11 years because it's day and night 🤔
Jails are bursting
@@carlavanda1585we don’t deter criminals because of lax sentencing and maybe because for some disaffected youths they are better placed to be than the streets anyway
@@carlavanda1585 so what’s your solution?
@@tudorDaDefenderthe data suggests that imprisonment increased not because crime rates have increased significantly over the past couple of years, but because sentencing has toughened up over 2023 to meet electoral goals. Meaning lower turnover rates, when budget wasn't proportionally allocated resulting with prisons overflowing, lacking resources and staff (hardly a ground for social reintegration.) Actually, with our budget deficit increasing from a comfortable +1% in the early noughties to be well under -10% currently, we now deal with the domino effect of progressive cuts on education, health, housing, etc over the past 2 decades. Meaning that gen Z has been harshly affected, especially in deprived areas. IMO, this contributes for the UK now having the highest imprisoning rates of West Europe. Increasing sentencing is like pruning the weed instead of treating the root causes. It's a measure that, by itself, is unsustainable. But nobody really cares.
This behaviour is so normalised in the UK sadly, Ive been terrified coming home and seeing, weird people harassing me and others, druggies screaming and over a gang coming to stab a lad in my street,it's scary here, they don't have shame or any human decency
Blame the privatisation, loss of industry
and the closure of pits.
It's a massive reason teeside was a huge mining and steel area, even ship building but now everything gone huge unemployment, huge poverty as there no jobs, poverty means more crime and more turn to drugs and these drug users have kids etc

Banging on about it being peer pressure, when he was on his own and approached the person for a cigarette and then chose to try and mug them then ended up stabbing them 11 times.. aye peer pressure pal. If it's purely peer pressure he'd have left it at home and only had it on him when meeting the boys.. clearly liked carrying it.
@@TheBearAndTheBull he seems like his parents are related, the lights are on but no ones home.
Mass poverty, highest council tax, high unemployment, huge drug problems but its nothing new when i was a teen in thr 90s we had the same problems but we had alot of police , but massive cuts during Cameron reign which caused crime to explode in our area
Asked for a cigarette - told no. Then robbed and stabbed multiple times. Seems like a standup guy. Defo turned his life around 😂

Living in certain parts of England genuinely feels like we hit 1983 and collectively said "ahhh, that's fine, we're cool with this aesthetic."

Anyone without a bona fide reason for carrying such a weapon should get a mandatory jail sentence.
Get caught carrying a knife should equal 5 years in prison, no plea deal, no mental health excuse by their solicitors, do not pass go, straight to prison
Jail's are full. Young people need role models, guidance and a future which is difficult to imagine for too many. Back to Thatcher days when I left school I'm afraid - no hope no future. I was lucky but not so too many I left school with. Never worked, drug addicts, jail or dead. Terrifying to see it all happening again on steroids. Just thankful I've no kids 😢
@lizziestevenson9345 I left school in the Thatcher years. I and many of my mates got real jobs, apprentice electricians, plumbers, mechanics etc. You had a few interviews, done your homework etc. There was more of a discipline to succeed then I think.
These days, most kids think work will come to them with little effort, or do useless degrees at uni.
There is a sence of entitlement these young people seem to believe in, because parents don't seem to put the imput into their kids, and never say no to them.
There is plenty of work about, it's a case of getting off your arses I'm afraid.
@@mssdn8976 We should have mandatory indoor CCTV in every home wired directly to the police station. Everything will be monitored. If you are getting dressed about to leave the house and you try to sneak a weapon under your clothes, the police will see it before you even leave your door. Only those with dishonest intent care about things like "privacy". If you have nothing to hide, there is nothing to be afraid of. The State can do no wrong. Everything they do is for our own good and we should learn to grovel and be grateful.
You do realise that you're advocating for anyone who wants to defend themselves to be thrown straight in prison right? Maybe people wouldn't carry if the streets were safe to walk, not to mention how much power you'd be giving to the government.

I used to spend my holidays travelling through South England, Wales, Scotland (the hebrides) with a rucksack, about 45 years ago. Now I'm not keen to go back. First of all we need passports now. But I have never been to the northeast. I do remember one thing though. I was 19 or 20 and I went to a discothèque in Exmouth on Christmas Eve, there was a fight between two men. One "bobby" walked in. Suddenly you could hear a pin drop. The fight was over. But in those days I didn't hear the word drugs, stabbing or killing. I felt safe. I travelled by train and hitchhiked through Great Britain. People communicated with each other, no smartphones, no social media. People read newspapers. I spent some time with a host family in Exmouth, later they moved to Wimborne. They were retired but Phil (Phillis) had an extra job selling ice-cream to make ends meet. Even in the "seventies" they told me another war should break out to make people aware they needed each other. Only words, I thought. But they really meant it.
One thing is for sure: the only ones profiting from wars are the war industry companies.
Bye for now.
In the mean time, don't worry, be happy, don't drink too much and don't take drugs. Smoking is also a bad habit.
