The Teen Commandments

Best friends Sara Cox and Clare Hamilton survived their chaotic teenage years together. Now they"re back in the trenches with five teens between them - but armed with laughs, survival tactics and the kind of wisdom that only comes from being former rule-breakers themselves. Each week they’ll reminisce and commiserate as they attempt to make sense of the often mind-boggling behaviour of modern teens…because the best teen advice comes from those who know every trick in the book. Mum, dads, carers,
