Sara and Clare are back, trying to work out the chaotic minds of teenagers.   This week a new gaming gadget has appeared in Sara’s house and Clare’s horrified her teenage son by drunkenly dancing in his bedroom with her pals.   Sara & Clare discuss the highs and lows of first love - the heartbreak, the jealousy, the lost art of slamming down of phones, and how do we help our teens be kind when relationships end?   The harsh reality of bullying is discussed; the long-lasting effects, who’s talking to who, the chaos of tween friendship groups and the social media FOMO.   There’s also insight into the hormonal minds of our esteemed hosts…. we don’t care that Sara can’t remember what the B word is or that Clare uses her phone torch to try and find her phone!   Send us your stories of first loves and have you crossed paths with your school bully as an adult?   Email us at hello@teencommandments.co.uk    Follow us on Instagram: @djsaracox, @clarehamilton__  Visit www.theteencommandments.co.uk  Teen Commandments is a Sara Cox Production Learn more about your ad choices.
