First Loves and Bullying

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.

Om Podcasten

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 make sense of the often mind-boggling behaviour of modern teens…because the best teen advice comes from those who know every trick in the book. Mum, dads, carers, parents, step-parents, grandparents and yes, even you teens, are welcome, encouraged even, to step into the world of The Teen Commandments.   When not parenting, riding her horse or walking her 3 dogs, or caring for her other numerous pets, Sara Cox can be found broadcasting on BBC Radio 2, presenting television shows and writing one of her 3 Sunday Times Best-selling books, Sara can be found in her garden shed with Clare recording this podcast.  Leaving the chaos of her own teenagers behind her, with a coffee in hand and headphones in, hairdresser and single mum Clare Hamilton hops on a train each week from her home in Manchester to travel to Sara’s for a sleepover and to record this podcast.  📧 Email at hello@teencommandments.co.uk   📲 Follow on Instagram: @djsaracox, @clarehamilton_  👩‍💻 Visit www.theteencommandments.co.uk 🎙️ Teen Commandments is a Sara Cox Production
