Being 18 in 2018
Woman's Hour
Turning 18 can feel like a massive transition from adolescence to adulthood, and a whole new world of responsibility. Today we meet some young women who'll all be 18 in 2018.

If you're born into or live in unusual family circumstances, how does it affect your perceptions of being an adult? Jayde became a mum when she was 15. Rachel is in foster care and Nicola is a young carer.

But what if you have a chronic illness or condition? Cerys lives in Fife and although not officially diagnosed has symptoms linked to ME. Georgia lives in Hampshire and has cerebral palsy.

Cerys's interview starts at approx 20 mins.
