Sixteen
Insight tracked down the teenagers we first met at thirteen to ask what had changed as they approached sweet sixteen. Underage drinking and teen sex were discussed, with guest Bronte Fox garnering both criticism and praise for recounting her experiences with alcohol. Dubbo boy Hayden Coggan inspired many after he shared his story of how his life changed when his mother passed away.
