I'd like to welcome to the programme two of these teenagers, Alice and Daniel, who are 17 years old, and who both look after members of their family.
Hello, Alice, hello Daniel.
Alice and Daniel Hi.

Presenter
Who do you look after?

Alice
- I look after my mum. She has ME – it's an illness which means that she feels tired all the time and she can't walk very well. And I also look after my younger brother and sister. He's six and she's four.
Daniel
- I look after my mum too. She had a bad car accident seven years ago and she can't walk. I also look after my little sister.

Presenter
- You both do a lot of housework. What exactly do you do?

Alice
- On a normal day I get up early and I clean the house and I do the ironing. After school I sometimes take my mum to the shops in her wheelchair. In the evening my dad makes the dinner — I'm not very good at cooking! But I make sure my brother and sister eat their dinner and then I put them to bed.

Daniel
- My day's quite similar. I clean the house and iron but I also do the cooking and the shopping. My dad left home four years ago so we're on our own. I take my sister to school and make sure that my mum is OK. I need to give her massages every evening.

Presenter
- How do you feel about the way you live?

- I don't really mind looking after my mum. She's ill and she needs my help. But sometimes I feel a bit sad when I can't go out because there are things to do in the house. And I sometimes get angry with my school friends. They don't really understand the problems I have at home. All they think about are clothes, boys, and going out.

Daniel
- I enjoy what I do because I'm helping my mum and I'm helping my sister at the same time. Of course it's true that I can't go out much, because I need to spend most of my time at home. I sometimes go out with my friends but I don't like leaving my mum on her own. I always make sure that I have my mobile. If my mum needs anything, she calls me and I go back home. It's not a problem for me. It's just part of my life.

Presenter
- You're both doing a great job, thanks very much for coming on the programme...
