Teen Mental Health Struggles: It’s Not Just About Social Media

Is social media truly driving the teen mental health crisis? Because if it is, we should be taking one set of steps to protect kids. But if it’s not, we’re spending a ton of energy barking up the wrong tree. Dr. Candice Odgers has been researching teen mental health and tech use for decades. Her data strongly suggests that social media is only one culprit – the other major drivers include family mental health, economic pressures, teen lifestyle, and achievement culture. On the TED stage and elsewhere she’s argued that this is why banning social media is not the answer. Join us for an eye-opening conversation that separates fear from facts.

Modern Marijuana: What You Need to Know

What you think you know about marijuana doesn’t entirely translate to today’s weed. Yes, they’ve got the same active ingredient — cannabis — but the dose is now far higher, making it essentially a new drug. Enter Linda Richter, a leading expert from the Partnership to End Addiction, to explain how the pot of generations past has changed. She breaks down the wide range of cannabis-containing products, how they’re used, their risks, and the extremely confusing legal landscape across the US. Most importantly, she guides us about how to talk about it with young people… a conversation that’s much more serious than it used to be. Show Notes: Watch the full episode on Youtube!

The Insidious Ranking Lists of Middle + High School

Kids have ranked other kids according to attractiveness, popularity, and sexual appeal for decades. But today’s tech platforms –– from social media to group chats to AI –– can amplify this old-school cruelty. Ranking lists reach many more people, with implications that can be extremely hard for kids to escape. This episode is dedicated to the hidden culture behind these lists: why they fuel humiliation and exclusion, how emerging AI tools fan their flames, what parents should watch for, and what schools and communities can do when an inevitable list emerges.
