Teenagers and their independence, The Text I'll Never Forget, Alys Fowler.

Professor Tanya Byron talks about teenagers. We start a new series called The Text I'll Never Forget. And the gardener, Alys Fowler, on Birmingham canals and new relationships.

Professor Tanya Bryon comes into the Woman's Hour studio to talk about teenagers and how they tick. She's just joined Professor Robert Winston on Child Of Our Time, the BBC programme which has been tracking a group of children since they were born in 2000. 

We begin a new series called The Text I'll Never Forget. Sabrina Grant starts it off by describing a text she received letting her know that her sister had just attempted suicide. 

Alys Fowler, the writer and gardener has written a memoir about two journeys. One is exploring the canals around Birmingham in an inflatable kayak and the second is leaving a sick husband, and then embarking on a new relationship with a woman. Jane speaks to Alys Fowler about Hidden Nature which is published by Hodder and Stoughton on April 6th. 

And we get the latest on the Woman's Hour Craft Prize. Today we hear about jewellery-making.
