Kids These Days

A lot has happened since we started making this podcast nearly a year ago. So we’re asking: what have we learned? And what advice can we give to ourselves..and each other...as we navigate all of it.

We live in a college town where many of us feel a lot of pressure to get all As and go to the perfect school. We look at how this quest to be perfect affects the way we think of ourselves.

We know there can be serious consequences to vaping. So why do so many teens continue to do it? In this episode, we share three stories of addiction, each with a different ending.

We use our phones all the time, but we never talk about how we use them. This episode, we look at the unspoken rules and expectations of social media, and how they can impact our relationships. Plus how tracking and other types of surveillance affect our behavior.

Part of being a teen is realizing that things are not as simple as they seem. That there’s a darker side to the world that maybe we’re just seeing for the first time. It’s also a time when -- some of us, hopefully -- figure out ways to navigate that.
