From the first spot to the first sexual encounter, teenage girls have never been short of advice, whether from parents or peers.

So how has the nature of that advice changed and how much did they heed, or even need it?
Rachel Schofield visits a new exhibition at The Women's Library, Grow Up: Advice and The Teenage Girl.
Carol Tulloch, curator and Kathy Milcoy, historical consultant at the exhibition join Jenni to look back at how we were told to behave from the 1880s to the present day.
Exhibition: Grow Up! Advice & The Teenage Girl, at The Women's Library, London Metropolitan University, Old Castle Street, London E1, Tel. 020 7320 2222, opens 6 February until 26 April 2003, admission free
