What Your Teens Want You to Know But Won't Tell You

Duration: 30 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Radio OrkneyLatest broadcast: on BBC Radio Scotland Highlands and Islands

Teenagers today are experiencing things that previous generations didn't - they are tech-savvy like no generation before them, they are maturing earlier and living in a world where drugs and alcohol are often a rite of passage.

So what is it that teenagers actually want their parents to know about their lives, and what can parents do to help - not hinder - their relationship during adolescence?

In this revealing and surprising programme presented by teenagers themselves, BBC Radio Scotland takes you into the teenage world to learn what today's teen actually wants (and needs) from you. Show less
