Don’t Phone It In

Friends are difficult to make and maintain. We discuss the topic of friends and how to respond when they don’t do the best actions. As one of my steady listeners, he also gives his take on my podcast style. So, hopefully it fits his happy standard?

Have you heard of Looks Maxxing? Well I sure haven’t… but luckily my guest and I discuss what it is and how it is impacting teenagers (who might be closer than you think). There are some unbelievably intense stories and at the core of it all is this culture to be pretty.

There are so many interesting things to do in the world! Today’s guest struggles with how to split his time and do everything! Not only that, but he doesn’t feel like he’s the best at talking… Listen and learn about my guest today hopefully showing you that whatever you are going through, you aren’t alone.

The question that every high schooler is bound to have once. High school and the college system is highly competitive which puts a lot of pressure on students and makes school quite stressful. However, my guest has found the answer to that question and I hope you can find it too.

Some people don’t understand how much their words affect other people. My guest has experienced this first hand and effects have affected everything from interests, to personality, and mental health. But she’s come back stronger with the ultimate revenge of being happy.

Here is my neighbor, who has had the opportunity to experience differences between two high schools. This abrupt shift and environment isn’t always a smooth , but she has been able to quickly adapt, and even build strong friendships!

Happy 10th episode anniversary! I never thought this day would come! I attribute it mostly to my necessity to create schedules all the time (even though it’s to the point that it’s not healthy). I have also become slightly, very calculating with my time…. but oh well. What can I do?

From throwing up, cutting, bulking, and not being able to move his neck for a period of time my friend has done it all! Wrestling truly puts the body and the mind through the ringer. Despite this, he still enjoys computer science, which begs the question: what is in store for his future?

In this ever performative world, this week’s episode is about how there is a pressure to always be better or cooler. Even causing the change in who we are and our identities. But there are many lessons to be learned, from our longtime friends and even new ones as well!

btw: sound warning bc this was recorded at school for the first time

Boys… boys….boys

Crushes are fun and a nice experience but we discuss not only the good but also the bad. But beyond crushes, we talk about trying to build a relationship and what is like to compromise with your parents about going out. Sometimes we can’t always get what we want.
