 What are the unwritten rules they live by?
Rules, rules, rules - parents make them, teenagers break them: that's their job. But what are the unwritten rules teenage girls live by? A panel of teens and former teens tell Jenni how they make and break the rules and what it means to be a teenager today.
There's Hajar, an 18 year old from Peterborough who is trying to live a Muslim life in a secular Western environment; Loreanne is 15 and a grammar school Goth from Tunbridge Wells; Jasmin became a mum at 14 and now gives advice on a sex education programme in Plymouth; Zoe is young, black and urban; and novelist Helen Walsh was a tearaway teen whose debut novel Brass is about a 19 year old with a serious cocaine and prostitute habit.
