Emma Bullock - who helps to look after her brother David - is among 2,600 carers aged under 15For many teenagers, summer holidays are synonymous with sleeping in, relaxing and getting a well-deserved break.
But during the summer break, Emma said she takes on a lot more as both her and her brothers are off school, and much needed days out can be dependent on their moods. "It's definitely good because you kind of forget about all the stuff that's going on at home and it's just a good way to hang out with your friends and just to have a good time," she said.Kirsty is preparing to go off to university later this year
