In the new Brat Camp series, seven rude, spoilt and lazy teenagers from cosy homes in Britain are tracked as they get the shock of their lives in the US. Their parents, who have had enough of their offensive behaviour, have sent them to Turn-About Ranch, in Utah canyon country, a tough camp for troubled teens.

This website reveals the stories behind the teenagers' troubles in The brat files and gives you a chance to hear from one of the no-nonsense, real cowboys who cares for the residents of Turn-About Ranch. There's a Chill-out zone (with downloadable pdfs) for teenagers to learn to cool it or for parents to learn to have a calm karma.

If that's not enough for you, compare yourself to the famous names who have made the journey from adversity to adventure, triumphing over seemingly impossible odds to become adventurers. And if you reckon you're pretty cool or tough, check out the real you on our Brat-O-Meter. It will reveal your inner self. Are you spoilt rotten or a hippy, happy or a goody-two-shoes, brutal or beautiful inside. Plus watch out for loads of links for you to find out more.
