Presented by Jenni Murray. Is being a tall girl a blessing or a curse? Plus the Anti Porn Men Project, and Romani life in the 1950s.

Presented by Jenni Murray. How easy is it being a girl entering your teens and the tallest in the class? Is being a tall girl a blessing or a curse? The Anti-Porn Men Project which launched this week is the brainchild of two young men who've grown up in the internet era with extreme pornographic images only a mouse click away. Maggie Smith-Bendell talks about growing up as a Romani gypsy in the 1940s and 1950s and the the case of Iranian woman, Farah Ghaemi, who for the past three years has been fighting a removal order from the Home Office.
