Previous Episode
AfterThoughts: The Teenage Years - Friendship
AfterThoughts: The Teenage Years was created to make visible some of the invisible cancer stories from within the young cancer community.
We're back to bring you some extra special episodes to put Series Four to bed - our Shortcasts. Bitesized episodes exploring three themes that some of our storytellers touched on throughout the series. Today we're looking at friendship. If dating's a wily beast, friendship can be just as tricky to navigate and equally as difficult to grasp hold of - especially when you're in you're teens or early twenties. For our storytellers on The Teenage Years, it's something we talk about a lot even if it never makes it into the podcast, so we wanted to share some stories and maybe impart a bit of the wisdom we've learned over the years.
