Teenagehood today looks very different than it used to. Kids are home more and growing up in a world that’s far more supervised and a lot less rebellious. What happened to the sneaking out, the secrets, and the harmless mistakes that turned into life lessons (and great stories)? We grew up making questionable choices, pushing boundaries, and learning the hard way—and somehow, we turned out just fine. These days, even a small act of rebellion can earn a kid a harsh label. But aren’t teenagers supposed to mess up a little? In this episode, we’re reflecting on how much has changed and what today’s teens are missing out on.
