On the Line - daily life flag of the United Kingdom
Gwen and friend

"My best friends are Naomi and Eleanor. Joanna and Amanda are other good friends of mine. I hang out with some of the boys at school, but I don’t have a boyfriend. I used to have a boyfriend but he never spoke to me so I dumped him.
shopping for clothes

"I like window shopping and buying clothes. I go to town shopping with my friends and we always try on the worst outfit! Eleanor lives in the house next-door-but-one to us, and I get on really well with her family. Sometimes I go there for supper when my dad takes my sister swimming. After supper we sit in Eleanor’s bedroom and put on make-up. I also like pop music - singers like "Emilia", and bands like "Honey" and "The Cartoons".

"I want to go to Law School and then be a solicitor when I am older. I like to have my say and I’d like to be in a law court. Or maybe I’ll be a barrister because they make lots of money. I don’t want to get married or have children. I’d like to get a flat with a friend, either here or in London. But it’s difficult to get a flat in London because they’re expensive."
