Behind every “reckless” or withdrawn teen is a journey they’re struggling to navigate. In today’s episode, Mark sits down with two Heartlight residents who open up about the hidden battles fueling their choices. One young man, Will, shares how his struggle with depression drove him towards rebellion and poor decisions, impacting his home life and especially his bond with his younger sister. Depression and anxiety were at the heart of his behavior — not a desire to hurt others, but a desperate attempt to escape pain. Tune in to hear these honest reflections!
