A TEENAGER sitting their GCSEs will probably claim a cell phone than live with their father.

Every session starts with gathering reflection where the young men's share how they feel and doing as such has lifted a weight from Louis' shoulders.

He said: "I'm truly happy I did it on the grounds that else I would've been in a similar place I was before – unsocial and in my usual range of familiarity constantly.
