Lucy has decided to discuss the sensitive subject of fitting in, and more importantly making decisions for you. The transition from 16-21 has so many changes and options for a young person, there can be so many decisions to make, and the fear of making the wrong one can be overwhelming. Acting as two older sisters who have been through it already, we try to impart some wisdom from what we have learnt. We also find out something new about Lucy!
