We sit down with two 18-year-old students from Jeppe Boys High School who are leading their school’s mental health club and challenging the culture of silence around what boys go through.

We talk openly about the pressure to perform, the weight of academic expectations, bullying, and how stress shows up in an all-boys environment. The conversation also explores real-life challenges like social pressure around alcohol, drugs, gambling, and why so many young men struggle to ask for help when things feel overwhelming.

This isn’t about having all the answers. It’s about starting honest conversations, supporting each other, and changing how mental health is talked about among young men.

If you’re a student, parent, or educator, or anyone who wants to better understand the mental pressures facing teenage boys today, this is a conversation worth listening to️.
