Sterotypes: We’re living in a box - By Coco Fierce
"I longed to stand out. So do all of my friends and we sit on the stage
together in a college canteen, swapping anecdotes and planning this
Summer’s festivals. People called us ‘moshers’ and I loved being
categorised. But teenagers do, don’t they...but I grew out of this. It
seems other adults haven’t quite matured past this though."

The Show Must Go On....But Does It Have To? - reporting by Coco Fierce
"There are some things you just don’t say in public…for example, admitting
that you fancy Boris Johnson or that you once did a little wee in the
swimming baths. It is a good job I don’t really care about social
etiquette as if I don’t get something off my chest, I think I may
explode in a jibbering heap"
