Teenagers are stereotyped as naive and very self-centered. Because of this many teen activists and speech givers are laughed at and publicly humiliated by older generations. In this podcast, we discuss examples of this form of ageism, conduct interviews with two individuals with a 30-year age gap, and propose solutions to shattering the false narrative that teens are incapable of being wise and selfless.
