Shaving, periods, hair and hormones - Gemma and Dr Radha have all the advice you need to navigate your teens.

Sex and relationship education (SRE) is set to become compulsory in all of England's schools, so this week is all about the facts - how puberty works, what you can expect from it, and how to survive the changes that are all part of growing up, whatever your gender.
