It's Scotland's biggest city and more than half a million people live here. But Glasgow has attracted negative headlines year after year, with claims crime, health, unemployment and gangs are big problems.

So what's it really like growing up in Glasgow and do teenagers here have any control over their futures?

Presenter Charlotte talks to Peter who was stabbed in the back and saw his friend murdered by a gang member, while Adina speaks to 17 year old ex-gang member Darryn who says he's left gang violence behind him to play football for Scotland.
