"You've got thirteen year-olds growing up knowing that they've got access to guns. SO you have young teenagers growing up wandering round like they own the place", says Jane (not her real name).

" If you are not a member of one of the groups then you be the victim of it because you haven't got another gang to take care of you. My son and my daughter have fallen into that category."

All this week you can hear Jane's story on BBC GMR's Drivetime programme with Michelle Daniel from 4.30pm.

Michelle says, "It's a shame to say it but this story is one which many of us will be able to relate to. Maybe if more of us talk about it we'll all be better able to fight all types of bullying."

If you miss the pieces you can hear them again here and find further information about bullying and where to get help and advice.

As a preview to the series you can hear Jane talking on the BBC GMR's Breakfast Show on Monday at 8.15.
