Another chance to hear this special Personal Best focussing on teen girls.

What do you think girls need to grow up happy, healthy, strong and free? We live in an exciting, face-paced world so you'd think it would be straightforward ... yet from what we see in the media, increasing numbers of teenage girls are suffering from depression, anxiety, eating disorders, self-harm and body-hate. Gillian Russell asks where have we gone wrong?

Steve Biddulph, retired psychologist and author of Ten Things Girls Need Most, travels the world teaching on how to raise children. He describes the issues teenage girls face, explains why he thinks things need to change and offers advice and information on what we can all do to ensure a happier, healthier transition from teen world to adulthood.

The Adventure Syndicate, Developing Mountain Biking In Scotland and Velocity Workshop recently ran a bike-packing course for teenage girls. Pennie Latin joined them in the Highland countryside to find out what's involved and to hear the reasons behind why the girls decided to sign up.
