Video: Teenagers talk about their sexuality

Love Has No Limits was created by college students on the National Citizens Service scheme — run locally by Bolton Lads and Girls Club.

The project aimed to raise awareness of lesbian, gay, bisexual or transgender issues (LGBT) in Bolton, particularly the fears and struggles of young people in the face of prejudice.

The film is to be shown at the Parallel Centre, the young people's health centre, and at Bolton Sixth Form College.

As part of the National Citizens Service for 16 and 17-year-olds, young people have to devise a project which makes a difference to their community.

This group — many of whom had not met before embarking on the scheme — said they wanted to address issues facing young people.

After first looking at bullying and drugs they found issues relating to LGBT were not being talked about locally.

Assistant team leader Chloe Mitchell said: “Many groups do amazing charity work as part of their social action project.

“This is something very creative which has never been done before — I think this project will have a lasting legacy.

“This film has educated me, and I am extremely proud of the group, the skills and talents they have used and the maturity and passion they have shown.

“If they wanted the group could walk away but they won’t — they want to get the film on social media and get it out there.”

On Wednesday evening, the group will be appearing on Bolton FM to talk about the film.

Leah Worrall, aged 16, from Bolton Sixth Form College, said: “When we decided on the issue we tried to put ourselves in that position and empathise.”

Jess Kay, aged 17, from Walkden Sixth Form, said: “I was shocked when I heard how people were treated by others — the message is to treat people who are LGBT like everyone else and with respect.”

Marcin Ochwat, aged 17, added: “No one should be treated any differently. We did not know when we started where the film would go. We are all proud of it."
