'I'd love a normal life, but being a 17-year-old carer means sacrifices'

A 17-year-old girl takes care of her family. She is a carer. This is not easy for her. She wants a normal life. But she has to make sacrifices. She cannot do many things that other teenagers do. Young carers have many problems. They face big disadvantages. They have less time for school and friends. They must help their families every day. This can be very hard for young people. They want to enjoy their youth, but they have many responsibilities.
