About the Girls

Available for over a year

Girls from all over the country talk to Catherine Carr about friendship. Some talk about the complexities of friendship group dynamics and Snapchat politics, fights and bullying behaviours. They explain their ideas around ‘sisterhood’ and how finding true friends is the key to surviving the turbulence of teen years and the challenges of being a young woman.
