0:00:02 > 0:00:05Around the world, many parents raise their kids on a diet of strict discipline.

0:00:05 > 0:00:10It's our responsibility as parents to be in control of the music that they listen to.

0:00:10 > 0:00:12Ther movies that they watch.

0:00:12 > 0:00:14And the friends they have.

0:00:14 > 0:00:16Rigid boundaries.

0:00:16 > 0:00:17Am I friends with my children?

0:00:17 > 0:00:21No, I'm not your friend. I'm your parent.

0:00:21 > 0:00:23And immediate consequences.

0:00:23 > 0:00:25My dad is really strict.

0:00:25 > 0:00:28If you break the rules, he can be very scary.

0:00:30 > 0:00:35But can traditional parenting change the lives of rebellious British teenagers?

0:00:35 > 0:00:39I was brought here on this earth to party.

0:00:39 > 0:00:42She can be an absolute nightmare. It's awful.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48My lifestyle is playing Xbox, getting hammered and having sex.

0:00:49 > 0:00:53You, I'm getting you. 'I went to anger management.'

0:00:53 > 0:00:56I got kicked out of anger management for being angry.

0:00:57 > 0:01:02No-one can tell me what to do, not even the Queen of England can tell me what to do.

0:01:02 > 0:01:07He's slapped me, he's poked me, he's pushed me, he's done it all.

0:01:07 > 0:01:10I am what I am. If you don't like it, then jog on.

0:01:10 > 0:01:15To find out, two teens who've never met before will leave their fraught families behind.

0:01:15 > 0:01:19- Maybe she'll come back home and be nice.- Doubt it.

0:01:19 > 0:01:21And head off to the far corners of the world

0:01:21 > 0:01:26where they will live according to strict rules imposed by new parents.

0:01:26 > 0:01:30You are not in the UK, you are in Barbados!

0:01:30 > 0:01:33They're the most awful people I've ever met in my whole life.

0:01:33 > 0:01:37If she wants to throw a hissy fit, she can have her hissy fit.

0:01:38 > 0:01:40I'm going home, bruv.

0:01:40 > 0:01:42What you going to do? What are you going to do?

0:01:42 > 0:01:46This is our rule. If you are going to cop an attitude, forget it.

0:01:46 > 0:01:49- What is the point? - The point is a matter of trust.

0:01:49 > 0:01:52If this is how they are, I'm sorry for Britain.

0:02:11 > 0:02:1718-year-old Scott Collinson is boozing his life away in one long party.

0:02:18 > 0:02:24I get up, like, two in the afternoon every day and then drink or smoke, basically.

0:02:24 > 0:02:27Drugs, sex and alcohol, that's about it.

0:02:27 > 0:02:32The only thing I tend to want to achieve in a night is not to remember it the next day.

0:02:32 > 0:02:36I don't like the way he's drinking, taking drugs and smoking.

0:02:36 > 0:02:40I just like him to be mature about what he doing.

0:02:42 > 0:02:44Scott is wasting his life.

0:02:44 > 0:02:48He's no ambition to do anything apart from go out with his mates and have fun. That's it.

0:02:48 > 0:02:52Scott's parents divorced when he was five,

0:02:52 > 0:02:56but his mother scrimped and saved to send him to a top private school.

0:02:56 > 0:03:01My mum spent so much money on my education.

0:03:01 > 0:03:05But I discovered alcohol and drugs and things that I thought are more important.

0:03:16 > 0:03:22Scott refuses to get a job and hasn't got any money. But it's never a problem.

0:03:22 > 0:03:24If my mum hasn't got money, I'll go to my dad.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26If he hasn't got money, I'll go to my nan.

0:03:26 > 0:03:29If she hasn't got money, I've got my great-nan, my grandad.

0:03:29 > 0:03:32There's always someone I can borrow money off.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34I'm a very good ponce.

0:03:34 > 0:03:40Even after years of abuse, Scott's mum is still determined to save Scott from himself.

0:03:40 > 0:03:43I'm not going to give up on him.

0:03:43 > 0:03:44I'm not giving up.

0:03:44 > 0:03:48I just want 20 quid.

0:03:48 > 0:03:51I don't want all that. Thank you.

0:03:51 > 0:03:55I wouldn't say I had a relationship as such with my mum.

0:03:55 > 0:03:58It's more she's someone I either borrow money off or argue with.

0:03:58 > 0:04:03- I'm only there to make sure you're all right.- Well, I don't need you to make sure.

0:04:03 > 0:04:07- I'm your mother.- I don't care.

0:04:07 > 0:04:10- I love you.- I don't care.

0:04:19 > 0:04:2317-year-old Billie Spencer thinks she is living the dream.

0:04:23 > 0:04:28I actually think sometimes I was brought on this earth to party.

0:04:28 > 0:04:33- I've had enough.- OK, so what does that mean? Swivel on it?

0:04:34 > 0:04:37Billie, I mean it! Enough is enough!

0:04:39 > 0:04:46- If you go on my Facebook, literally, most of the pictures are of me out my face, partying.- Turn it down!

0:04:46 > 0:04:49- Louder, Bill.- I've had enough.

0:04:52 > 0:04:56The main casualty of Billie's party lifestyle is her education.

0:04:56 > 0:04:59She scraped 13 GCSE passes,

0:04:59 > 0:05:03but is failing her A-levels and has been suspended from school three times.

0:05:03 > 0:05:06Billie, why did you do not your coursework?

0:05:06 > 0:05:08The trial papers were a B and you got a D.

0:05:08 > 0:05:13I think that report is a load of crap. They don't know what they're talking about.

0:05:13 > 0:05:17It's a waste of space talking to you. Cos that's exactly your attitude. Stinks.

0:05:17 > 0:05:19She doesn't want to do her homework.

0:05:19 > 0:05:25She'd rather think about going to a rave or where she's going to get the next bottle of wine from.

0:05:25 > 0:05:30And, despite holding down two jobs, Billie's mum never gets any help around the house.

0:05:30 > 0:05:35I'm not washing up, you're not going to get me washing up, I'm not washing up.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38Billie has never done any chores. She doesn't know how clean a bathroom.

0:05:38 > 0:05:43She don't know how to tidy up. She doesn't know how to bring the dishes downstairs.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45- I'm not washing up. - Today you are.- No, I'm not.

0:05:45 > 0:05:48My mum's role in this house is to do everything.

0:05:48 > 0:05:53She is in this house to do the cleaning, make the dinner, that is her role.

0:05:53 > 0:05:58- That's not going to change. - Billie's parents split up when she was two-years-old.

0:05:58 > 0:06:02Billie was raised by her mum and rarely speaks with her father.

0:06:02 > 0:06:06There's things with my dad that make me feel, like, why should I bother speaking to him?

0:06:06 > 0:06:09Dads should make effort but he doesn't make an effort whatsoever.

0:06:09 > 0:06:11Yeah, Billie's dad is very...

0:06:11 > 0:06:15Billie's got a lot of her dad's ways. Selfish.

0:06:17 > 0:06:21At the moment, I could kill her and she could kill me, and I don't really know what I've done wrong.

0:06:26 > 0:06:29To try and get their lives back on track, both teens have agreed

0:06:29 > 0:06:34to spend a week living with new parents on the other side of the world.

0:06:35 > 0:06:39- Good luck. Sure you got everything? - Yep, everything.- Money?

0:06:39 > 0:06:42- Yep.- Passport?- Yes... All right.

0:06:42 > 0:06:44- OK.- Bye.- Love you. Bye.

0:06:45 > 0:06:49I would like him to grow up and have responsibility.

0:06:49 > 0:06:54If he changes, then maybe we'll be able to talk like a mother and son.

0:06:54 > 0:06:56Right, listen to me. Be a good girl.

0:06:56 > 0:06:59Try your best to try to do what they say to do.

0:06:59 > 0:07:01Try not to be defiant.

0:07:01 > 0:07:05And don't be rude. Love ya. Bye, babe!

0:07:05 > 0:07:09I want her to learn to appreciate what she's got at home and how easy she's got it.

0:07:09 > 0:07:12Rather than thinking she's so hard done by all of the time.

0:07:12 > 0:07:13- Nice to meet you.- Nice to meet you.

0:07:13 > 0:07:15- My name's Billie.- I'm Scott.

0:07:15 > 0:07:17- Hello, Scott.- Where you from?

0:07:17 > 0:07:19- Croydon.- Southend.

0:07:19 > 0:07:22I really want to sunbathe.

0:07:22 > 0:07:29The British teenagers are being sent here, 5,000 miles away to Mombasa on the Kenyan Coast.

0:07:32 > 0:07:35They will be staying with the Mugazas, a hard-working Christian family

0:07:35 > 0:07:39with a traditional African approach to parenting.

0:07:39 > 0:07:43You must respect the elders. The father must be given that respect.

0:07:43 > 0:07:46The mother must be given that respect. Total. There is no way out.

0:07:46 > 0:07:48Let us pray.

0:07:48 > 0:07:52I can be very, very strict if I have to, especially when disobeyed.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55When there's disobedience, then I put my foot down.

0:07:55 > 0:08:02Dad Dickson manages a thousand employees at the city's environmental heath department.

0:08:02 > 0:08:05His wife Faith stays at home to look after the children.

0:08:05 > 0:08:10My dad is really strict. Whoa, if you break the rules, he can be very scary.

0:08:10 > 0:08:12When we were young, he used to cane us.

0:08:12 > 0:08:14I haven't ever answered my parents back.

0:08:14 > 0:08:16I haven't talked to them rudely.

0:08:16 > 0:08:17Because I have been taught not to.

0:08:17 > 0:08:19And it's... I just can't do it.

0:08:19 > 0:08:22For the Mugazas, education is the top priority.

0:08:22 > 0:08:28They spend 90% of their income on sending their kids to Mombasa's most expensive school.

0:08:28 > 0:08:33We have made a lot of sacrifices because we would have had maybe our own private house by now

0:08:33 > 0:08:36instead of paying rent or staying in such a small place.

0:08:36 > 0:08:41But we decided to put everything aside for these children to have the right education.

0:08:45 > 0:08:49After a nine-hour flight, the British teenagers arrive in Kenya.

0:08:49 > 0:08:52I'll show you what I've been through. That!

0:08:52 > 0:08:55You can get drunk on that.

0:08:55 > 0:08:57The coastal port of Mombasa,

0:08:57 > 0:09:02with a population of 700,000, is Kenya's second largest city.

0:09:04 > 0:09:08- These guys are actually working hard, ain't they?- BLEEP, yeah.

0:09:08 > 0:09:12I don't know how they can, like, push all these heavy things in this heat.

0:09:12 > 0:09:14It's a shock.

0:09:17 > 0:09:21One in four people survive on less than 60 pence a day.

0:09:21 > 0:09:25And many live in sprawling urban slums.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27This place looks dangerous.

0:09:27 > 0:09:30I haven't seen any white people yet.

0:09:30 > 0:09:35Scott, I am so scared. Just about where we're staying.

0:09:41 > 0:09:44We are not staying here.

0:09:47 > 0:09:50- All right? I'm Scott. Nice to meet you.- My name is Mugaza.

0:09:50 > 0:09:52- Nice to meet you. - Same, same here.

0:09:52 > 0:09:55- Nice to meet you. Hello. - I'm Mrs Mugaza.

0:09:55 > 0:09:58- Yeah, so feel at home.- Thank you.

0:09:58 > 0:10:01And let's see how things are going to be.

0:10:01 > 0:10:04- But we are happy to have you here. - Thank you.

0:10:04 > 0:10:10For the next eight days, Billie and Scott will live by the same rules as the Mugaza children.

0:10:10 > 0:10:12- Hi.- I'm Valerie. And you are?

0:10:12 > 0:10:14- My name's Billie.- Nice to meet you.

0:10:14 > 0:10:19And, like any other visitor, they will be expected to respect their values.

0:10:19 > 0:10:22The first thing we have to do as Christians is to pray.

0:10:22 > 0:10:25To thank God that you are here safely.

0:10:25 > 0:10:27- OK.- That's what we do. Yeah, so...

0:10:27 > 0:10:29We are going to have a short prayer.

0:10:29 > 0:10:34OK. We thank you, dear Lord for bringing us our guests today.

0:10:34 > 0:10:38We hope that we are going to be with them and they are going to be very nice to us.

0:10:38 > 0:10:44And we are hoping that everything is going to be fine and eventually we shall remain friends for ever. Amen.

0:10:44 > 0:10:49So then we'll just show you to your rooms.

0:10:49 > 0:10:52This is, er, the boys' room.

0:10:52 > 0:10:54- OK.- That's the bed.

0:10:54 > 0:10:56John and you are going to share.

0:10:56 > 0:10:58- OK.- The ladies' room.

0:11:00 > 0:11:04Choose any bed. Any one that you like. You can share with Valerie.

0:11:04 > 0:11:06- OK, thank you.- Just like home. OK?

0:11:06 > 0:11:09All right. All right.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11So this is our kitchen.

0:11:11 > 0:11:13It's small, but this is how we manage.

0:11:13 > 0:11:16So this is the washroom.

0:11:16 > 0:11:21Fewer than half of all Kenyans have access to clean running water in their homes.

0:11:21 > 0:11:26So, by Kenyan standards, the Mugazas' three-bed apartment is luxurious.

0:11:26 > 0:11:30It's a total slum, innit? I don't know why people would want to live here.

0:11:30 > 0:11:34I don't really like their bathroom and they've got rationed water.

0:11:34 > 0:11:38I call my family poor, and then you come here...

0:11:38 > 0:11:40I couldn't live comfortably here.

0:11:40 > 0:11:43No, I couldn't, either. No way.

0:11:43 > 0:11:45- Not by any standards.- No way.

0:11:45 > 0:11:48The teens aren't the only ones taken aback.

0:11:48 > 0:11:50The kids are a bit shocking, let me say.

0:11:50 > 0:11:56The first sight, especially of Scott, is quite surprising to us

0:11:56 > 0:11:59because we don't expect it from a teenager in our country.

0:11:59 > 0:12:05The tattoos are just too many and the piercings also not allowed.

0:12:05 > 0:12:11When it's the whole body somebody's putting the tattoo on that, I don't know what he's thinking of.

0:12:11 > 0:12:13I'm shocked.

0:12:13 > 0:12:17If they are removable, we will remove them.

0:12:17 > 0:12:19That's my feelings.

0:12:24 > 0:12:26Billie and Scott, please come in.

0:12:29 > 0:12:32Before they are fully welcomed into the household,

0:12:32 > 0:12:37Faith and Dickson want to make sure the teens know exactly what's expected of them.

0:12:37 > 0:12:40Have a seat. Feel comfortable.

0:12:40 > 0:12:42OK, then, we go through the family rules.

0:12:42 > 0:12:46These are family rules and they must be obeyed.

0:12:46 > 0:12:51And without obeying them, definitely there are consequences, which may not be very nice.

0:12:51 > 0:12:55So we wouldn't want to reach to that extent. OK.

0:12:55 > 0:13:02While you are living with us, disobedience will not be tolerated. We do not allow smoking anywhere.

0:13:02 > 0:13:07- I'm not sure if I can go that length without smoking, to be honest.- We will see to that.

0:13:07 > 0:13:10We will not tolerate the drinking of alcohol.

0:13:10 > 0:13:14Alcohol is bad for your body and makes you behave like an imbecile.

0:13:14 > 0:13:19- I don't really function without alcohol.- It's going to be hard not to have a drink the whole time.

0:13:19 > 0:13:21- At some point...- OK, let's continue.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24I really need to smoke and drink right now, to be honest.

0:13:24 > 0:13:26- We will see to this. - The next one...

0:13:26 > 0:13:30We do not allow piercings or tattoos.

0:13:30 > 0:13:32- Um... - This is permanent or temporary?

0:13:32 > 0:13:36- It's permanent.- And the hairstyle.

0:13:36 > 0:13:39- What about my hair?- It doesn't go well with African culture.

0:13:39 > 0:13:42Firstly, they get an impression that you are a rogue.

0:13:42 > 0:13:46Secondly, they also believe that the people who do piercing here

0:13:46 > 0:13:51in Mombasa, as it is now, are homosexuals. Would you like that?

0:13:51 > 0:13:55This is why we are telling you. It's very important to listen to us.

0:13:56 > 0:13:59If you break any of these rules, you will be punished

0:13:59 > 0:14:03by being sent to Grandma's, where you will have to do hard labour.

0:14:03 > 0:14:08Because even when John and Valerie make mistakes, they have to go to Grandma's.

0:14:08 > 0:14:12- DICKSON: You will change. - If we need a little time out, can we go outside for a bit?

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Outside here, down here?

0:14:14 > 0:14:17OK, but mark you, all the other houses are watching.

0:14:17 > 0:14:21So let me hope that you are not asking that because you want to be cheeky outside there.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24- DICKSON: You have a cigarette. You have a smoke.- I won't be cheeky.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28Cos this is one community. We live like a community here and we respect each other.

0:14:28 > 0:14:32And there are some expectations, you know, from each family.

0:14:32 > 0:14:34One thing I must, I need to stress.

0:14:34 > 0:14:36These are not coming out.

0:14:36 > 0:14:38I like... like... 100...

0:14:38 > 0:14:40Like they are not coming out at all.

0:14:40 > 0:14:42Scott, you young man. Listen to what we tell you.

0:14:42 > 0:14:46It's for your own benefit. It's not for my benefit.

0:14:46 > 0:14:51I'm a very good man and I can change to be the worst man ever.

0:14:51 > 0:14:53Yes.

0:14:57 > 0:14:59This is killing my life already.

0:14:59 > 0:15:05Despite Dickson's warning, Billie and Scott react to the rules in the only way they know how.

0:15:05 > 0:15:07I ain't going the whole week without drinking.

0:15:10 > 0:15:12Go back in pissed, stink of smoke.

0:15:12 > 0:15:15He seems scary.

0:15:15 > 0:15:17Like...

0:15:17 > 0:15:19I can't wait till he starts raising his voice.

0:15:19 > 0:15:20That'll be a funny argument.

0:15:20 > 0:15:24When he raises his voice, I'll just tell him to swivel on it and

0:15:24 > 0:15:27get out my face and walk out.

0:15:27 > 0:15:31I've got to totally hide my arm, my ears and I've got to cut my hair.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33What's wrong with my hair?

0:15:33 > 0:15:35My hair's totally fine. Apparently, I'm going to get followed around by

0:15:35 > 0:15:39a load of gays in a big group and they are going to try and rape me.

0:15:39 > 0:15:43Billie is OK. She may be hiding a few things which we are yet to discover.

0:15:43 > 0:15:47But she is not that badly off, she is a nice girl.

0:15:47 > 0:15:51But Scott... Scott is an issue. Quite shocking and...

0:15:51 > 0:15:56Because in our culture I would not expect him to answer back to tell me he is going to do this.

0:15:56 > 0:16:01He must smoke, he must drink. So...and, you know, in African culture, sometimes

0:16:01 > 0:16:05people would resort to even caning, thoroughly.

0:16:10 > 0:16:17In Kenya, homosexuality is still illegal and gay men are often ridiculed in public.

0:16:17 > 0:16:20Scott. We agreed.

0:16:20 > 0:16:22Yeah, one second.

0:16:22 > 0:16:28- OK.- Protective of his hard man image, Scott has decided to remove his earrings while in public.

0:16:30 > 0:16:34Mad. If I don't take these out, I will get followed out by a load of gays.

0:16:37 > 0:16:41To be honest this looks worse than having them in.

0:16:41 > 0:16:44It's ridiculous. It's like prison.

0:16:44 > 0:16:47But his piercings aren't the only the issue.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49The haircut right now is more of a rowdy person.

0:16:49 > 0:16:52So it's not allowed, really.

0:16:52 > 0:16:55You know, and we would become a spectacle for everyone.

0:16:55 > 0:16:56So we don't want that.

0:16:56 > 0:16:59We probably have to cover the hair with a hat.

0:16:59 > 0:17:02I'm not wearing a hat. To be honest.

0:17:02 > 0:17:04- I'd rather not go than to wear a hat.- It is very necessary.

0:17:04 > 0:17:06I'm not arguing with that.

0:17:06 > 0:17:08I'm just not wearing a hat.

0:17:08 > 0:17:10You know, the more we argue,

0:17:10 > 0:17:12the more we are wasting time.

0:17:17 > 0:17:21There's only one solution that's going to keep both parties happy.

0:17:35 > 0:17:40The haircut is not bad for England, but for Africa here, Kenya, it's really strange.

0:17:40 > 0:17:44We don't want them to mistake you for a bad person, yeah?

0:17:44 > 0:17:47This is very nice. I am so proud of you, Scott.

0:17:49 > 0:17:51I'm so proud of you, really.

0:17:51 > 0:17:56- I want my hair back.- Very nice, it's great.- I'm not happy.

0:17:56 > 0:17:57Thank you.

0:18:08 > 0:18:13It's what, just gone five o'clock, and we're up for school.

0:18:13 > 0:18:15No. This is a joke.

0:18:15 > 0:18:18Kenya has one of the highest literacy rates in Africa,

0:18:18 > 0:18:21but education is still considered a privilege.

0:18:21 > 0:18:24I hope it's like a half-decent school.

0:18:27 > 0:18:30I reckon it's going to be strict.

0:18:30 > 0:18:33Scott had an exclusive private education.

0:18:33 > 0:18:38He's confident he can handle anything Kenyan school has to throw at him.

0:18:38 > 0:18:41I'm kind of assuming I'll be the smartest kid there.

0:18:41 > 0:18:45I mean, I'm fairly certain I was in the top sort of like...

0:18:45 > 0:18:491% of the world, like nation or whatever, I don't know.

0:18:49 > 0:18:52I think I'm really, really smart.

0:18:52 > 0:18:58Education is at the heart of the Mugazas' priorities, and Faith wants to make sure the teens know it.

0:18:58 > 0:19:03Education is very, very important in your lives and for your future.

0:19:03 > 0:19:09So please take it seriously and be co-operative, because you are representing our family.

0:19:09 > 0:19:14So I don't expect Billie to start arguing with teachers, you know.

0:19:14 > 0:19:18And Scott, as well, please behave at your best.

0:19:24 > 0:19:29The teens are heading for Coral High, ten miles north of Mombasa.

0:19:32 > 0:19:34The school motto is "Think Success"

0:19:34 > 0:19:38and head teacher Rose Okemwa insists her 120 pupils achieve it.

0:19:38 > 0:19:41Parents chose to bring their children here

0:19:41 > 0:19:45because we are very, very particular about discipline.

0:19:45 > 0:19:48We believe without discipline there is nothing you can do in life.

0:19:48 > 0:19:51Coral High charges just £240 a year.

0:19:51 > 0:19:58But that's as much as an average Kenyan's annual income, so many parents struggle to afford the fees.

0:19:58 > 0:20:01In this district most of the children are disadvantaged.

0:20:01 > 0:20:05They come from families that live below the poverty line.

0:20:06 > 0:20:08Hello. Come right in, ma'am. How are you?

0:20:08 > 0:20:11Fine, how are you?

0:20:11 > 0:20:13- Welcome to Coral Junior High School. - Thank you.

0:20:13 > 0:20:16Yeah, it is a pleasure to have you here and we hope

0:20:16 > 0:20:20you are going to do everything as per the school rules of this institution.

0:20:20 > 0:20:25Those are our 30 commandments - rules.

0:20:25 > 0:20:28Are you pleased about it? It's OK with you?

0:20:28 > 0:20:30- Can't wait.- Good.

0:20:30 > 0:20:35So tomorrow when you come in I'll expect it to be up to here.

0:20:35 > 0:20:38Oh, I'm not shaving my beard off.

0:20:38 > 0:20:40Seriously, I'm not getting rid of that.

0:20:40 > 0:20:43That's a school rule, my dear.

0:20:43 > 0:20:46- I understand, but I'm not getting rid of it. - OK, we'll talk about it later.

0:20:46 > 0:20:53With lessons about to begin, Principal Okemwa wants the new pupils in uniform and in class.

0:20:53 > 0:20:56But the school doesn't have a pair of trousers large enough for Scott.

0:20:56 > 0:20:5936 inches and the legs 33.

0:20:59 > 0:21:0236? We've not had that size.

0:21:02 > 0:21:06It's OK. For now, for today we will allow him to be like that.

0:21:06 > 0:21:08Is he not wearing anything like that?

0:21:08 > 0:21:11It's because we haven't got his size, he hasn't got his size.

0:21:11 > 0:21:14Today. Tomorrow he has to wear them.

0:21:14 > 0:21:16Well, can I wear mine tomorrow then?

0:21:16 > 0:21:20I don't see it's fair as Scott being allowed to wear his shorts today and I've got to wear uniform.

0:21:20 > 0:21:24I can wear it tomorrow but if Scott's not wearing his today why should I wear mine?

0:21:24 > 0:21:26You didn't come here because of Scott, my dear.

0:21:26 > 0:21:29Come, no, I'm not having, I swear.

0:21:29 > 0:21:34- See what's happening?- I'm not wearing uniform if Scott don't.- Shall I give you half an hour to think?

0:21:34 > 0:21:38- No, I don't want half an hour to think.- If I have to take action it is going to be very bad.

0:21:38 > 0:21:40- And you are embarrassing me here. - I'm not embarrassing you.

0:21:40 > 0:21:44- You are and you're disrespecting my family.- You're not listening to me. - I have listened to you.

0:21:44 > 0:21:46- You're not seeing where I'm coming from. - You don't want to reason, that's why.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49I am listening but you're not seeing where I'm coming from.

0:21:49 > 0:21:53I think it's out of order. I'll wear uniform as soon as Scott wears uniform.

0:21:53 > 0:21:56- I don't think it's fair.- We've both come here for the same reason.

0:21:56 > 0:21:58Look here. You are responsible for your own life.

0:21:58 > 0:22:01I think this is taking the piss at the moment, to be honest.

0:22:01 > 0:22:05Fine, then we will go back home and we will see what will be done at home. Because this is not right.

0:22:05 > 0:22:07No, you need to understand where I'm coming from.

0:22:07 > 0:22:10No, I won't understand. I refuse, because this is not your school.

0:22:10 > 0:22:12This is just school rule.

0:22:12 > 0:22:15Do you know what? Just give me the trousers. Just give me the trousers.

0:22:15 > 0:22:18- You'll wear the trousers now? - Yeah, just give me the trousers. - Let's go to the office then.

0:22:18 > 0:22:20No, I'll wait here. Can you get them because I've got to get changed?

0:22:20 > 0:22:23I can't get them for you, my dear. You are younger than me. Go get your trousers.

0:22:23 > 0:22:26Tell the principal that you are ready to wear your trousers now.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32In our society here I wouldn't expect that. Even if my daughter wanted to

0:22:32 > 0:22:36complain about something she would not do it in front of the principal.

0:22:36 > 0:22:40It was not nice. But at least I'm happy that she finally accepted

0:22:40 > 0:22:44which means that she actually backed down and she decided to understand.

0:22:44 > 0:22:49We want to hear stories and experiences from Britain.

0:22:49 > 0:22:52So we need to hear from the two friends of ours.

0:22:52 > 0:22:54Scott, you're welcome.

0:22:54 > 0:23:00Before starting lessons, the teens must introduce themselves to their fellow students.

0:23:00 > 0:23:05Woo! Whoa! THEY CLAP

0:23:05 > 0:23:11Hi, everyone, I'm Scott, I'm 18, from England in the UK.

0:23:11 > 0:23:16Yeah, I went to a very good school in Britain, but I had a really low attendance.

0:23:16 > 0:23:19I came in, like, two or three times a week.

0:23:19 > 0:23:21I failed all my grades.

0:23:21 > 0:23:25I drink a lot and do a lot...

0:23:25 > 0:23:30And, erm, basically, I just like to party and I don't like to work.

0:23:30 > 0:23:32What's the worst thing you've ever done?

0:23:32 > 0:23:38I don't know. The worst thing I've done, like, steal money from my family.

0:23:38 > 0:23:44Do drugs and then smash cars up on the way home and I've been to hospital for drinking too much.

0:23:44 > 0:23:46Things like that.

0:23:46 > 0:23:49I get in to a lot of fights at home.

0:23:49 > 0:23:50Hello, my name's Billie.

0:23:50 > 0:23:55I'm from England as well. At home I usually just sit on my computer.

0:23:55 > 0:23:58Go out drinking. I've done

0:23:58 > 0:24:03a lot of drugs from ecstasy to cocaine. Everything.

0:24:03 > 0:24:08I've been in a lot of trouble with the police for fights, drinking.

0:24:08 > 0:24:13I hit a policeman before and then I got, like, arrested for it.

0:24:15 > 0:24:18I went home and my mum went mad.

0:24:18 > 0:24:22While Scott and Billie are feeling pleased with themselves,

0:24:22 > 0:24:26the bragging about their lifestyles has shocked their Kenyan classmates.

0:24:26 > 0:24:30What I heard about them was shocking because the parents, they feel

0:24:30 > 0:24:36hurt when they see their children stealing their money, taking drugs, abusing them.

0:24:36 > 0:24:38Them taking drugs like cocaine.

0:24:38 > 0:24:41It's like, wow, are you serious?

0:24:41 > 0:24:44The life in England it is not good.

0:24:44 > 0:24:47If you have been given a lot of money you will go

0:24:47 > 0:24:51and drink and do whatever you want and you will forget about education.

0:24:54 > 0:25:00Kenyan teenagers spend four years studying for a Certificate of Secondary Education.

0:25:04 > 0:25:10But it's all too easy if, like Scott, you think you're one of the world's cleverest people.

0:25:10 > 0:25:12Child work.

0:25:15 > 0:25:20It's easy, though, so I can just get on with it and carry on.

0:25:20 > 0:25:22Shouldn't really complain.

0:25:22 > 0:25:28So, mental arithmetic, let me start with Mr Scott, eh?

0:25:28 > 0:25:35If ten men can take five days to finish a job, how long would 15 men take?

0:25:35 > 0:25:39Two and a half days... No! Uh...

0:25:39 > 0:25:45The simple answer Scott's looking for is three and a third.

0:25:45 > 0:25:47Ten men can take five days.

0:25:47 > 0:25:50How long will 15 men take to finish the same job?

0:25:56 > 0:26:01I can't put it into a calculation in my head.

0:26:01 > 0:26:06- Erm.- OK, thank you, thank you, thank you, Scott.

0:26:06 > 0:26:10Literally like ten seconds after he went away I remembered how to do things.

0:26:12 > 0:26:17But it weren't really important, so I'm not too bothered.

0:26:17 > 0:26:20It's like primary school stuff.

0:26:20 > 0:26:22There's no point.

0:26:22 > 0:26:23It's boring.

0:26:23 > 0:26:26After lunch, Scott is called into

0:26:26 > 0:26:31the head teacher's office to discuss his non-regulation facial hair.

0:26:31 > 0:26:33So you are not going to do anything about your beard?

0:26:33 > 0:26:36I'm just not getting rid of it.

0:26:36 > 0:26:39- Have you seen any boy in class with beards?- No, not like mine.

0:26:41 > 0:26:43I don't want to be the same as everyone else.

0:26:43 > 0:26:45Even if I give you a BIC razor here, you cannot do it?

0:26:45 > 0:26:47I'm not changing my mind.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52- Don't want to change your mind?- No. - You are made up?- Yeah.

0:26:52 > 0:26:55Then I am not going to have you in the class. OK, just get out.

0:27:01 > 0:27:06Never in the history of this school have I had a student who says, "I cannot shave my beard".

0:27:06 > 0:27:09That kind of a child is a spoilt child completely.

0:27:09 > 0:27:14Because sometimes like this it becomes a bad influence and shows to the other students.

0:27:14 > 0:27:20So they only alternative I'm left with is to have him out of the school compound completely.

0:27:24 > 0:27:28Mrs Mugaza has been called to come and collect Scott.

0:27:28 > 0:27:30- Hello.- What's happening?

0:27:30 > 0:27:33Erm. I've been kicked out.

0:27:33 > 0:27:35- Why?- Because I won't shave.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38It's good to sometimes make compromises.

0:27:38 > 0:27:41- I don't think I should have to do any more.- For two days, Scott.

0:27:41 > 0:27:47Consider that it is also embarrassing me actually, it is embarrassing our family really, you know.

0:27:47 > 0:27:49I have made effort to come here.

0:27:49 > 0:27:53I have cut my hair and I have taken my piercings out and I've like...

0:27:53 > 0:27:55This is very embarrassing for me.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58- I don't even know how to face the principal.- It's embarrassing for me.

0:27:58 > 0:28:01Our family, Mr Mugaza is making calls all the way.

0:28:01 > 0:28:05He is supposed to be in a meeting right now but he keeps calling me asking what is happening.

0:28:05 > 0:28:07"Why has he done that?" You know?

0:28:09 > 0:28:11It's a letdown completely.

0:28:14 > 0:28:17I'm still not going to change my mind.

0:28:19 > 0:28:22After school, the teens were expecting to go to the beach.

0:28:22 > 0:28:28But Faith and Dickson want to talk to them about their behaviour in school.

0:28:28 > 0:28:31As we're going to the beach, can I have a cigarette?

0:28:31 > 0:28:36Cos I haven't had one in, like... ages and I really need to have one.

0:28:36 > 0:28:37Like really need to have one.

0:28:37 > 0:28:40And I'll be like two minutes. So...I really need one.

0:28:40 > 0:28:45I think, yesterday, you heard us state very clearly that it's not allowed here.

0:28:45 > 0:28:48- I need to have a cigarette. - Nobody is going to the beach now.

0:28:52 > 0:28:58- She's going to cancel the beach trip now because of that.- Oh, she can suck my big toe, then!

0:28:58 > 0:29:03I'll sunbathe on this bit of mud. "The beach trip will be cancelled."

0:29:03 > 0:29:06Cancel the beach trip, doesn't really bother me.

0:29:06 > 0:29:09I will come out here with my towel and I will lay down naked.

0:29:09 > 0:29:13Actually, just in case it does get to the stage where they do want to take these...

0:29:13 > 0:29:15So I've still got my stash.

0:29:15 > 0:29:19Smoking is not just a breach of the Mugazas' trust.

0:29:19 > 0:29:23Billie is only 17 so, in Kenya, she is breaking the law.

0:29:23 > 0:29:26Now, Billie, what has happened?

0:29:26 > 0:29:28I had to have a cigarette and no-one's stopping me.

0:29:28 > 0:29:31So you are taking this whole thing like a joke?

0:29:31 > 0:29:36- Because yesterday...- Yesterday, you said you had no cigarettes. - Yes.- You are cheating us.

0:29:36 > 0:29:40Yeah, all right, I might have told a little white lie.

0:29:40 > 0:29:45But like, I don't know. I'm not going to give you my cigarettes.

0:29:45 > 0:29:49I'm sorry, but if you're a minor in our country,

0:29:49 > 0:29:53you don't say what is to be done in the house. There are rules that need to be followed.

0:29:53 > 0:29:56Do you not think cancelling the whole trip is a bit over the top?

0:29:56 > 0:30:01Yesterday, you cheated me that you don't have cigarettes and you have cigarettes now.

0:30:01 > 0:30:05- You can't cancel the trip cos she... - I have. I'm giving you punishment

0:30:05 > 0:30:08and, if you not taking it, I know what to do later.

0:30:08 > 0:30:12- I think that's ridiculous. - I'm going to have a more worse punishment than that.

0:30:12 > 0:30:15Even put you in cells. I don't care about it.

0:30:15 > 0:30:18- I'm not going in any cells, I'm afraid.- You will.- I won't.

0:30:18 > 0:30:21I think that's ridiculous, to be honest. That's just stupid.

0:30:23 > 0:30:26The law does allow 18-year-old Scott to smoke,

0:30:26 > 0:30:31but it's normal for Kenyan parents to call the police during family disputes.

0:30:33 > 0:30:37I ain't having being threatened with a cell. That's ridiculous.

0:30:37 > 0:30:39They won't put you in a cell. He's not the police!

0:30:39 > 0:30:43He seems to think he's some big man. He won't put me in a cell, cos I'll leave.

0:30:43 > 0:30:48- If he puts me in a cell... - Knock him right out. - ..I'm sure I'll live a little bit.

0:30:48 > 0:30:51If he tries to put me in a cell, I'm packing my bags and leaving.

0:30:51 > 0:30:55I was shocked. I thought Billie was OK. She looked like she was adapting.

0:30:55 > 0:31:02But then, she came out with the cigarettes and, yeah, so now, it's a whole different story.

0:31:02 > 0:31:05They need to be taught that, in this world,

0:31:05 > 0:31:09they cannot be selfish, and think what you do will affect other people.

0:31:09 > 0:31:15So they have done something and they're going to pay for it. Badly.

0:31:19 > 0:31:21Do you have anything you want to tell us now?

0:31:21 > 0:31:25- Are you sorry for the smoking? - I'm not sorry for it.

0:31:25 > 0:31:29- Disobeying, disobeying our rules. - I'm not sorry for it.

0:31:29 > 0:31:33I'm not apologising, because I don't think I've done anything wrong, to be honest.

0:31:33 > 0:31:35- You did not smoke. - I've got to smoke.- I did, but...

0:31:35 > 0:31:38- So you don't care about our rules. - No, I care.

0:31:38 > 0:31:41- That's the conclusion we'll make. - Some of the rules...

0:31:41 > 0:31:45If you're saying you will do what we ask you not to do when here.

0:31:45 > 0:31:49So now, because of that, we definitely have to do something about that.

0:31:49 > 0:31:53- So we can't go to the beach cos of the cigarette?- Yes.- Oh, my God.

0:31:53 > 0:31:56- Instead we are going elsewhere. - Elsewhere like where?

0:31:56 > 0:32:01We're going to visit Grandma. Scott is going to remain here while I go with you.

0:32:01 > 0:32:05- Just me. I don't want to go. - I need to speak to you privately.

0:32:05 > 0:32:08- I don't want to go on my own. I'm not going on my own.- You will.

0:32:08 > 0:32:12- No, I'm not going there on my own! I'm not going!- I'm going with you.

0:32:12 > 0:32:15I'm not going somewhere I don't know on my BLEEP own. I'm not.

0:32:15 > 0:32:17You see, again, you're using abusive language.

0:32:17 > 0:32:20- I'm not going on my own. - You see?

0:32:20 > 0:32:22This is a very big problem here.

0:32:22 > 0:32:24A big one.

0:32:24 > 0:32:28The Mugaza children are no strangers to being punished at Grandma's.

0:32:28 > 0:32:31Valerie has some wise words of experience for Billie.

0:32:31 > 0:32:35I don't even think I've seen them like this in how many years.

0:32:35 > 0:32:39- I haven't seen them like this. You've done something wrong. - I really needed to have a fag!

0:32:39 > 0:32:42But why can't you control your urge, in a way?

0:32:42 > 0:32:46If you're stressed, take sweets, play something, run around.

0:32:46 > 0:32:49You know, like have lollipops. Be hyper. Scream.

0:32:49 > 0:32:53- I can't really just change, just... - Well, are you willing to do it?

0:32:53 > 0:32:56I am willing to do it and I will go.

0:32:56 > 0:33:00- But if it gets too much, then... - What will you do?

0:33:00 > 0:33:03- I'll walk off and I won't do it. - To where?

0:33:03 > 0:33:06- Wherever there is to walk off to. - There is nowhere to walk off to.

0:33:06 > 0:33:10OK, there is a road, but you can't walk off there. It's dangerous.

0:33:10 > 0:33:13You don't understand. This is Kenya.

0:33:21 > 0:33:24Grandma's village is 30 miles from Mombasa.

0:33:24 > 0:33:30Without any modern amenities, she's raised nine children here on her own.

0:33:33 > 0:33:37Discipline is good, because children obey their parents,

0:33:37 > 0:33:42respect the people, older people.

0:33:42 > 0:33:46Drinking and smoking, we don't allow them.

0:33:46 > 0:33:48DOG BARKS OK...

0:33:48 > 0:33:51Here we are in Mazeras.

0:33:51 > 0:33:54Grandma's place.

0:33:54 > 0:33:56In Kenya, the word of elders is law.

0:33:56 > 0:34:00- Sit down.- So what Grandma says goes.

0:34:00 > 0:34:06She decides that Billie's punishment is to perform physical labour, and stay in the village overnight.

0:34:06 > 0:34:08- Tomorrow morning?- Yes.

0:34:08 > 0:34:12- I don't really want to stay. - I know you don't want to stay.

0:34:12 > 0:34:14You have come here not because you wanted to.

0:34:14 > 0:34:16I'm not staying here.

0:34:16 > 0:34:20I've just got here and they're telling me I'm staying here.

0:34:20 > 0:34:22No, I'm not.

0:34:22 > 0:34:25I'm not staying here.

0:34:25 > 0:34:27I'm not staying here.

0:34:27 > 0:34:31- There's nothing to be worried about. - I haven't got anything against you.

0:34:31 > 0:34:34It's not... I've just got here. I haven't got any of my stuff.

0:34:34 > 0:34:37I don't feel comfortable just staying here.

0:34:37 > 0:34:41- We are not bad people here.- No, I know, I'm not saying you're bad.

0:34:41 > 0:34:44I know you're not saying that. But I'm telling you,

0:34:44 > 0:34:48- don't be worried.- At home, Billie always gets her own way.

0:34:48 > 0:34:52But despite the tears, Faith is determined not to back down.

0:34:52 > 0:34:56You see, for me, it is wrong for me to go back and start asking her,

0:34:56 > 0:35:00"Oh, we are sorry, why are you crying?" because, in our culture,

0:35:00 > 0:35:04when you're instilling something, you have to make sure it is instilled.

0:35:04 > 0:35:06You don't go back again on your word.

0:35:08 > 0:35:10After talking to Grandma,

0:35:10 > 0:35:14Billie agrees to stay and pound maize,

0:35:14 > 0:35:16the staple food of the village.

0:35:33 > 0:35:38This is good work. Almost done.

0:35:40 > 0:35:42You see it's changing.

0:35:44 > 0:35:46She's a good girl.

0:35:50 > 0:35:55Grandma was born in 1920 and still pounds maize every day.

0:35:55 > 0:35:58Her humble approach to life has touched Billie.

0:36:12 > 0:36:15She's so nice. It makes me upset.

0:36:15 > 0:36:20The fact she's really nice and she talks about her life and done it all on her own and stuff.

0:36:20 > 0:36:27It's hard work, like you think... they have to do that every day.

0:36:28 > 0:36:33Not a lot really makes me cry, but...

0:36:33 > 0:36:39when you see things like this, it makes you realise what we've got.

0:36:41 > 0:36:47After four hours solid effort, Billie has earned Faith's forgiveness.

0:36:47 > 0:36:49Let me tell you that I'm very proud of you.

0:36:49 > 0:36:52I am because you took that initiative.

0:36:52 > 0:36:57You came and pounded the maize, which is a very hard task. You've never done it in your life.

0:36:57 > 0:37:03So I do understand why you can feel quite upset, it's tiring also, but just take it as part of life.

0:37:03 > 0:37:09Growing up. It's an experience. So don't think these people don't like me or they hate me.

0:37:09 > 0:37:14No, we like you, just like Valerie, the way I love my daughter is the way I love you now.

0:37:22 > 0:37:27Back in the city, Scott is about to find out what his punishment is.

0:37:27 > 0:37:30Lazy people.

0:37:30 > 0:37:36Mr Scott, wake up. Today, you will follow me to work.

0:37:42 > 0:37:47As a part of his job, Dickson manages the city's rubbish collection department.

0:37:47 > 0:37:55He's arranged for Scott to spend the day on the bins with his operations manager, Mr Sadiq.

0:37:55 > 0:38:01I just wanted to brief Scott that this is Mr Sadiq.

0:38:01 > 0:38:05So you are now today are going to be a rubbish man.

0:38:05 > 0:38:10Since dropping out of college, work-shy Scott has never held down a job.

0:38:10 > 0:38:14Dickson thinks it's about time he learnt the value of hard work.

0:38:14 > 0:38:20He's never done anything before. Just sitting idle, drinking, boozing.

0:38:20 > 0:38:24He's lazy. That's the only thing you put it. He's lazy.

0:38:24 > 0:38:29Mr Sadiq wants Scott to join a team of eight men clearing up a busy market square.

0:38:32 > 0:38:35- I'm not touching that. - You'll get used to it.

0:38:35 > 0:38:38I'm not getting used to anything. I'm not going near that, I promise.

0:38:38 > 0:38:40It stinks!

0:38:42 > 0:38:47Can't breathe! The whole street's just full of rubbish.

0:38:47 > 0:38:50I'm not going near any of this.

0:38:50 > 0:38:54It's disgusting. It's minging. I thought Southend was a shithole.

0:38:54 > 0:38:58But Southend's like the Hilton compared to this place.

0:38:58 > 0:39:02Almost half of all Kenyans are out of work.

0:39:02 > 0:39:07And with no welfare state, a job can be the difference between life and death.

0:39:09 > 0:39:10He doesn't want to work,

0:39:10 > 0:39:15even if it means to earn a living.

0:39:15 > 0:39:20So we must try to take him away from that attitude.

0:39:20 > 0:39:23He must have an attitude change.

0:39:25 > 0:39:29Appalled by Scott's behaviour, Mr Sadiq marches him

0:39:29 > 0:39:32back to the pound to explain himself to Dickson.

0:39:32 > 0:39:35The smell just made me really ill.

0:39:35 > 0:39:39I couldn't touch the rubbish. It made me feel sick, to be honest.

0:39:39 > 0:39:43- Unhygienic.- The way it looks, you just want an easy life.

0:39:43 > 0:39:46You sleep. You get money. How do you get money like that?

0:39:46 > 0:39:49- Stealing? - No. I borrow from my family.

0:39:49 > 0:39:51That's nonsense. Really.

0:39:51 > 0:39:54Look at me coming to work.

0:39:54 > 0:39:59I'm not here to wait for my mama to give me money to buy my things.

0:39:59 > 0:40:02This is very simple. Scott, decide for yourself.

0:40:02 > 0:40:06Decide for your life. This is it.

0:40:06 > 0:40:10What kind of boy is this? He's useless.

0:40:10 > 0:40:13I've never been to Britain, but I'm surprised, I'm shocked.

0:40:13 > 0:40:16If this is how they are, I'm sorry for Britain.

0:40:16 > 0:40:20Dickson could have given Scott's shift to one of the locals

0:40:20 > 0:40:22who come to the pound every day desperate for work.

0:40:22 > 0:40:26He wants Scott to realise what it would have meant to one of them.

0:40:26 > 0:40:29The situation by now is very bad.

0:40:29 > 0:40:34You know, because we all, people who don't have job

0:40:34 > 0:40:38and we have no way to look after our families.

0:40:38 > 0:40:40In fact, we come here only,

0:40:40 > 0:40:44because there is not any other job outside this place.

0:40:44 > 0:40:47But now we have nothing to do.

0:40:47 > 0:40:51So, Scott, you can understand that he wants the job,

0:40:51 > 0:40:56so that he could feed the family, he could look after the family.

0:40:56 > 0:41:00And here you are... refusing the job.

0:41:02 > 0:41:06Is that fair? Scott, is that fair, really?

0:41:06 > 0:41:08No, it's not fair.

0:41:08 > 0:41:09It's not fair.

0:41:12 > 0:41:15I feel horrible. I've taken his job

0:41:15 > 0:41:18and now, he's got no money to feed his family or whatever.

0:41:18 > 0:41:22So, if they don't eat tonight, it's my fault.

0:41:28 > 0:41:31It makes you feel like absolute shit.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47Their punishment is over and the school have agreed

0:41:47 > 0:41:51to accept the teens back, despite Scott's facial hair.

0:41:51 > 0:41:55I'd like you to construct a sentence using "will" and "have".

0:41:55 > 0:41:57I will have my dinner later.

0:41:57 > 0:42:00I want a sentence that looks this way.

0:42:00 > 0:42:04For Billie, it's a chance to hear about the lives of her classmates.

0:42:04 > 0:42:07My dad is...he's a drunkard.

0:42:07 > 0:42:11But the way I see him behaving with my mum,

0:42:11 > 0:42:16- I totally don't like it.- Yeah. - Cos he gets drunk, beats up my mum.

0:42:16 > 0:42:22Then I say, if getting married is like this, better living single.

0:42:22 > 0:42:27And education helps you a lot. Like here in Kenya,

0:42:27 > 0:42:30without education, there's nowhere you can go.

0:42:30 > 0:42:34Nowhere at all. Life at home with your mother, how is it?

0:42:34 > 0:42:37Me and my mum argue a lot.

0:42:37 > 0:42:42About money and getting drunk and things like that.

0:42:42 > 0:42:48But yeah, we can get on sometimes, but there's not a man in the house.

0:42:48 > 0:42:53There's no dad so if there was a man there maybe it would be a bit more... A bit more strict.

0:42:53 > 0:42:59'They really appreciate school and schoolwork and sort of getting on with things out here.'

0:42:59 > 0:43:04A lot of my mates just have ambitions to become a footballer's wife.

0:43:04 > 0:43:06It's not the same out here.

0:43:06 > 0:43:09They really know what they want to be,

0:43:09 > 0:43:13and I don't know, they want to do it for good sort of reasons.

0:43:13 > 0:43:19I want to improve the modern technology of the aeroplanes.

0:43:19 > 0:43:24I want to be the first person to make the fastest aeroplane ever seen in the world.

0:43:24 > 0:43:27I would get a scholarship in a good university...

0:43:27 > 0:43:33In English, pupils have been asked to read out speeches they've written about their ambitions in life.

0:43:33 > 0:43:36Yes, Scott, tell us what you want to be after ten years.

0:43:36 > 0:43:38I don't really want to read it, if that's OK.

0:43:38 > 0:43:39Go on, Scott.

0:43:39 > 0:43:45After all his showing off on the first day, Scott's confidence appears to have deserted him.

0:43:45 > 0:43:51- You want to be...- No, no, no, I don't want my speech read out.

0:43:51 > 0:43:53- Why?- Because it's embarrassing.

0:43:53 > 0:43:57No, read. We're waiting for you.

0:43:57 > 0:44:01You'll have to wait all day.

0:44:01 > 0:44:07'He shakes as if he's going to faint, like something like that.'

0:44:07 > 0:44:12Billie is like the boy and Scott is like the girl.

0:44:12 > 0:44:15'He was shaking, he was sweating.'

0:44:15 > 0:44:17He could only look down.

0:44:17 > 0:44:23Scott's cocky front is crumbling as he struggles to be honest about his real feelings.

0:44:23 > 0:44:25I answered the question.

0:44:25 > 0:44:27I don't want to read the speech out.

0:44:37 > 0:44:42After school, Mr Mugaza decides to give Scott a second chance to prove himself at work.

0:44:42 > 0:44:47His own upbringing was in stark contrast to the average British teenager.

0:44:47 > 0:44:54You know we had a really hard life, a really hard life. We were a family of about nine...

0:44:55 > 0:45:01..and my father died when you were very young.

0:45:01 > 0:45:03At your age I was doing everything for myself,

0:45:03 > 0:45:09even getting some casual labour that I really worked hard for, because my mother could not afford it.

0:45:09 > 0:45:16We are proud of that, and I say that because I know you can do it.

0:45:16 > 0:45:19'I respect him quite a lot to be honest, he's done really well.'

0:45:19 > 0:45:24He's worked solidly for, like, his whole life, even when he was young.

0:45:24 > 0:45:26Yeah, he deserves full respect to be honest.

0:45:26 > 0:45:33I just want to prove I can actually work without them just looking at me like some sort of failure.

0:45:38 > 0:45:40OK, we are going to that heap.

0:45:40 > 0:45:44Mr Sadiq puts Scott to work clearing piles of rubbish off the streets.

0:45:53 > 0:45:58I've been working about ten minutes. Knackered!

0:45:59 > 0:46:02I haven't done a full day's work for about a year.

0:46:02 > 0:46:06I haven't done half a day's work for about a year, so...

0:46:06 > 0:46:09There's dust everywhere.

0:46:09 > 0:46:13'Ah, Mr Scott is doing tremendously now.'

0:46:13 > 0:46:19Today he has proved that he can perform,

0:46:19 > 0:46:22and he's doing it skilfully.

0:46:22 > 0:46:26Congratulations for that change of heart.

0:46:26 > 0:46:27Always have a change of heart,

0:46:27 > 0:46:31always think that you can do good, you can do perfect,

0:46:31 > 0:46:35and that will give you a drive to do any job on earth here.

0:46:35 > 0:46:39After seeing the people here and that, and working and that,

0:46:39 > 0:46:44I really feel I should get a job and work and earn my own living

0:46:44 > 0:46:47instead of sponging off people,

0:46:47 > 0:46:51because I think I'll get more of an achievement out of that,

0:46:51 > 0:46:53the fact that I can earn my own money

0:46:53 > 0:46:56rather than having to borrow and take from people.

0:47:04 > 0:47:06One of you will pray today.

0:47:06 > 0:47:08Who's praying?

0:47:08 > 0:47:10I don't know really how to start it. I'll just try.

0:47:10 > 0:47:16Oh, God. Thank you for blessing us with this food today.

0:47:16 > 0:47:20- Amen.- Amen.

0:47:20 > 0:47:24It's a try!

0:47:24 > 0:47:25How was your day today?

0:47:34 > 0:47:37It's Scott and Billie's last day at Coral High,

0:47:37 > 0:47:42and Principal Okemwa has entered them into the school poetry competition.

0:47:44 > 0:47:46My family are very special to me.

0:47:46 > 0:47:48I love and care for my family.

0:47:48 > 0:47:51One day I hope to have my own family and be happy.

0:47:51 > 0:47:54Family should have love, happiness, and respect.

0:47:54 > 0:47:57A family should trust one another and care for one another.

0:47:57 > 0:48:00APPLAUSE

0:48:03 > 0:48:07Scott's never read a poem out in public before,

0:48:07 > 0:48:11but with his confidence boosted, he has an opportunity to show he's matured.

0:48:11 > 0:48:15'I find it difficult to talk about emotions in front of people,'

0:48:15 > 0:48:20especially when you're trying to portray an arrogant, sort of blokey image.

0:48:20 > 0:48:26And then you're reading out like emotional poems, or just anything about yourself.

0:48:26 > 0:48:28'I find it difficult.'

0:48:28 > 0:48:32Last but not least, it's Scott.

0:48:32 > 0:48:35Big clap for him.

0:48:35 > 0:48:39APPLAUSE

0:48:39 > 0:48:41It's not very good, by the way.

0:48:44 > 0:48:47What my family means to me.

0:48:47 > 0:48:51I don't see much of my family, but they still mean the world to me.

0:48:51 > 0:48:56Sometimes I think I drive them crazy, because I take their money because I'm lazy.

0:48:56 > 0:48:59I spend it on alcohol that makes me sick,

0:48:59 > 0:49:01and they all think that I'm a dick.

0:49:01 > 0:49:05Then we argue for a while, but in the end we always smile.

0:49:05 > 0:49:08There's nothing for me that they wouldn't do,

0:49:08 > 0:49:10and I feel the same way about them too.

0:49:10 > 0:49:13APPLAUSE

0:49:18 > 0:49:20That's great, yeah.

0:49:22 > 0:49:25APPLAUSE

0:49:26 > 0:49:30It was great. I think that the two students did perfectly well,

0:49:30 > 0:49:33but the best of the best was Scott's.

0:49:33 > 0:49:36Because there was all that we needed in a poem.

0:49:36 > 0:49:38THEY CHANT AND CLAP

0:49:39 > 0:49:43'I think people have the wrong idea about me.

0:49:45 > 0:49:48'I don't think I got a lot of sympathy as a kid, or attention.

0:49:48 > 0:49:52'So I crave it in a different way.'

0:49:52 > 0:49:55I make myself all arrogant and cocky and confident,

0:49:55 > 0:49:57and draw all the attention to me.

0:49:59 > 0:50:02I get stupid haircuts, and piercings,

0:50:02 > 0:50:07and I like to be the person that the attention is drawn on.

0:50:10 > 0:50:13I like to think I'm something special, when maybe I'm not.

0:50:15 > 0:50:19If I want to be something special, I've got to try a lot harder.

0:50:22 > 0:50:24- Hello.- How are you?

0:50:24 > 0:50:26I'm all right, thank you. You all right?

0:50:26 > 0:50:33Back home, Billie and Scott are eager to show off their achievements to the Mugazas.

0:50:33 > 0:50:35I've seen what you've done.

0:50:35 > 0:50:37This is very good, don't you think?

0:50:37 > 0:50:41- Yeah.- We're so proud of you, we are really very happy.

0:50:41 > 0:50:45I hope you guys are proud of yourselves too for achieving such...

0:50:45 > 0:50:47Such results in such a short time.

0:50:47 > 0:50:51I want to go back to school and sort of like focus on my work.

0:50:51 > 0:50:56Try and get my A-levels, so I can go to university.

0:50:56 > 0:51:00- Good.- Thank you.

0:51:00 > 0:51:06They gave us like a plant to plant in the ground for like memory.

0:51:06 > 0:51:09We have a tree in Africa dedicated to us!

0:51:09 > 0:51:13We're going to need to plant a Mugaza tree in England.

0:51:16 > 0:51:17If only you could carry one.

0:51:17 > 0:51:21- Thank you.- Congratulations.- We'll send you pictures of it as it grows.

0:51:22 > 0:51:26It was very hectic in the beginning, but now I feel very proud,

0:51:26 > 0:51:31because they have achieved so much in just a week. And you can see how good they are.

0:51:31 > 0:51:35'So now I know I have four kids, not only two. Yes!'

0:51:43 > 0:51:48The time has come for the British teens to leave Kenya and return to their families back home.

0:51:48 > 0:51:53Thank you very much. I'll miss you.

0:51:53 > 0:51:56- Hopefully we'll see you again. - All the best.

0:51:56 > 0:51:58Thank you.

0:51:58 > 0:52:01You'll make me all teary now.

0:52:03 > 0:52:05You've seen how my kids are really going to miss you.

0:52:05 > 0:52:08It's not going to be easy. It's been a hard battle,

0:52:08 > 0:52:13and we fought and we won together, so please let's keep in touch.

0:52:13 > 0:52:16Very, very proud of you. I just want to see achievements in you.

0:52:16 > 0:52:18- Thank you very much. - You're a great family.

0:52:18 > 0:52:23Thank you. You've learned what you've learned here.

0:52:23 > 0:52:27You've seen what you've seen here. Please, don't let us down.

0:52:27 > 0:52:31- Bye, everyone.- Bye bye, see you.

0:52:31 > 0:52:34'I'm always going to remember this week in Kenya, always.'

0:52:34 > 0:52:38'Although I've argued with Mrs Mugaza a lot,'

0:52:38 > 0:52:43I've realised that everything she was doing in the week was for my own good, and to help me.

0:52:43 > 0:52:50It's made me realise I can do things for myself, and that I need to show a bit more respect at home.

0:52:50 > 0:52:55'This experience was completely different to what I thought it would be. I expected a holiday,'

0:52:55 > 0:53:00and to just give some random Kenyan parents a bit of attitude, and then go and enjoy myself.

0:53:00 > 0:53:03'But I've widened my perspective on my entire life.'

0:53:03 > 0:53:07I've seen things in myself I don't like, and I want to change them.

0:53:07 > 0:53:10So that's something for the future.

0:53:15 > 0:53:20I hope Billie comes back from Kenya with a different attitude to life, basically.

0:53:20 > 0:53:24And realises that you just don't get anywhere if you don't try.

0:53:24 > 0:53:28You've got to help yourself, and you've got to get on with it.

0:53:28 > 0:53:32Hopefully, going on this trip, she will have learned something.

0:53:32 > 0:53:35You know? We'll see, though, won't we?

0:53:43 > 0:53:45- Hiya!- How are you?

0:53:45 > 0:53:47- You have a nice time?- Yeah. - Look at the colour of you!

0:53:47 > 0:53:50- Look at you, how come you're so brown?- I'm so happy to be home.

0:53:50 > 0:53:54Do you want a cup of tea?

0:53:54 > 0:53:56Er, yes, please.

0:53:57 > 0:54:01- How come you've learned to make tea? - I learnt to do a lot in Africa.

0:54:01 > 0:54:04- Here you go, Mum. There's your tea. - Thank you, my darling.

0:54:04 > 0:54:09- I can't believe you've made me a cup of tea.- That's all right. Any time.

0:54:09 > 0:54:12She went out of the door as a child, and she's come back as an adult,

0:54:12 > 0:54:14With some manners and everything. It's great!

0:54:14 > 0:54:18It's really made me realise out there that

0:54:18 > 0:54:22I've got to show you some more respect, and be nice.

0:54:22 > 0:54:25And try and get on with my school work more.

0:54:25 > 0:54:30And spend more time on my education and less on just going out partying and stuff.

0:54:30 > 0:54:33So I'm definitely going to try.

0:54:33 > 0:54:35I'm really sorry, Mum, for before.

0:54:47 > 0:54:51Before Scott went away I was worried about his behaviour.

0:54:51 > 0:54:57I hope this experience will change him to be completely different person.

0:55:02 > 0:55:04- Hello, son.- All right, Mum?

0:55:06 > 0:55:10- I missed you.- I've got some certificates from school, Mum.

0:55:10 > 0:55:14Oooh! Well done.

0:55:14 > 0:55:20I think it's only fair I apologise for being such a knob for the last few years.

0:55:20 > 0:55:24And stop all my drinking and arguing

0:55:24 > 0:55:26and moaning and complaining and poncing money.

0:55:26 > 0:55:30I AM going to stop that now, and really just

0:55:30 > 0:55:34try hard at looking for a job and doing well with my life.

0:55:34 > 0:55:36I'm so pleased your attitude changed.

0:55:36 > 0:55:40Things are going to look better now for both of us.

0:55:46 > 0:55:48- I love you, Mum.- 'I feel so proud.'

0:55:48 > 0:55:54I almost lost him for like two years, but now I'm really pleased I have my son back.

0:55:54 > 0:55:57Next time on The World's Strictest Parents.

0:55:57 > 0:56:01People say my attitude stinks. I love my attitude.

0:56:01 > 0:56:06Gangsta girl Shevda Hussein and posh boy slacker Andrew Harwood...

0:56:06 > 0:56:08This is a reflection of how messy your life is.

0:56:08 > 0:56:11Yeah, it's my room! It's just a mess!

0:56:11 > 0:56:13..get new parents in Texas.

0:56:13 > 0:56:16Trust is the ace, for us.

0:56:16 > 0:56:19- When you are ready to talk like an adult...- Piss off. Go!

0:56:19 > 0:56:22I don't like you, I'm not coming back in your house. That's that, innit?

0:56:22 > 0:56:25Why are you taking their side? You're meant to be on my side.

0:56:25 > 0:56:27- I'm not taking their side. - Yeah, you are.
