Liam O'Neill (22) is tired of the bleakness and negativity associated with the area. From Ardoyne, he knew Barney Cairns and many of the recent suicide victims. "I'm a DJ and that's what keeps me going. Every day I hear people complaining that there's no work.
But there is work, it's just a matter of getting off your backside and finding it. They talk about the paramilitaries keeping them down, but they don't come near you if you stay out of trouble and out of their way.
"Everyone has choices but the problem is, hardly anyone here in the Ardoyne can see past all the crap.
"You mightn't get the most exciting job in the world, but it's money that will keep you out of trouble and keep you feeling like a person who's worth something.
"I work for Royal Mail and at weekends I DJ under the name of DJ Lizard. I feel hopeful that I'll make something of my life but I'll have to do it myself. No one's going to sort that out for me.
"I knew Barney Cairns at school. He was a decent fella and I never saw anything about him that would have made me think he'd commit suicide. It's a shock, but I don't know whether it's enough of a shock to stop other young fellas doing it again.
"I look at the wee kids here today, nine and 10 years old. I know some of them will end up the same unless they realise they can get out of this area and away somewhere with better chances of a decent life."
