Parents are bombarded with news and warnings about how the internet is dangerous for teenagers. We're told that being online is rewiring their brains. Our guest editor, Tracey Thorn has noticed a lack of positive stories about young people and the internet. She wanted to find out whether the internet had helped gay teens in coming to terms with their identity. Tracey asked Damian Barr, radio 4 presenter and author of "Maggie & Me", a memoir of growing up as a gay man in small-town Scotland in the 80s, to talk to some gay teenagers for us.

There's been an explosion in the popularity of young adult fiction, but though the genre is commercially successful, it seems to be an undervalued area of the literary world. Our guest editor Tracey Thorn wondered whether that's because it is consumed by teenagers - most often girls - whose literary tastes aren't taken seriously. We hear from Samantha Shannon, a young novelist, author of 'the Bone Season,' and Caitlin Moran, author of 'How to Build a Girl' and 'How to be a Woman'...

We have this special report from Ashley John-Baptiste, himself a care leaver who has been speaking to others who have just left care.
