The Teen Commandments

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 write the ‘commandments’ of modern teenagedom…because the best teen advice comes from those who know every trick in the book.
