In this episode, we discuss a recent CDC study that surveyed 17,000 students in the United States, which revealed an alarming trend: the rate of teens reporting feelings of sadness or hopelessness is at a record high. Girls also reported significantly higher numbers in most categories than boys. We cover topics such as anxiety, hopelessness, depression, and social isolation, and what the Bible says regarding them.
