Teen Stories: Searching for Acceptance


Listen Later

A tough part of the teen years is figuring out how you fit into the world — and with whom. Everyone wants to feel accepted, but sometimes that desire can have pitfalls. In today's show, Mark talks with two young ladies, including a 17-year-old from Texas, who explains how high school brought about unforeseen changes and peer pressures. Despite being a "good kid," she found herself exposed to new challenges and started to break the rules. She shares how she navigated bullying on social media and aggression that stemmed from internal struggles with identity and friendships.
