Sixteen year old Dominic has just gone into sixth form. Already, he's noticing homework getting harder! He wants to continue in education so he can go to university, but with school work and a weekend job in a supermarket, life can be quite stressful. He rarely has time to relax with friends but isn't prepared to cut down his hours at work - he needs the money! Will life every get easier? Probably not - but he'll be alright.'Talking Teens' As part of 'Talking Teens', a survey of parents and adolescents commissioned by the BBC's Special Features Unit for BBC National and Local Radio, we have prepared Video Nation shorts on teenagers. You can find out about Asiyla and her mum, Ruby and also Lisa-Marie Smith. The survey provides the biggest snapshot of British teenagers' attitudes and of their parents and carers bringing them up. Over 6,000 parents and 16,000 teen responses were collated from the online survey, accessed through web sites like this one. Over half of teenagers are in agreement that they get a bad press and only 13 per cent agree that society values them!
