The Breakdown - The Biology of a Teenager

A study on teen use of pornography shows that 54% of young adults ages 12-17 seek out porn at various regularities. One survey showed one in ten visitors to hardcore porn sites are under ten.
Is it ok that so many of today’s teens are looking at porn? Is it ok that little kids are looking at porn? Does porn effect rape culture or does it prevent rape by satisfying sexual desires? Is any kind of porn moral?

This episode of the breakdown examines these critical questions about the biological effects of viewing porn as well as the moral through an interview with an expert, Dr Christy Kane as well as a discussion about statistics surrounding the issue and an analysis of the evidence.

Our podcast is about biohacking and the details of it. In the podcast Rafi and Asher will be talking about biohacking, does it work, is it safe, and should you do it. Also, we will be giving some examples of real biohackers. The podcast will also include our opinions and how we think biohacking will look like in the future. Hopefully, this podcast will lighten up your understanding of biohacking!

My name is Zoe, and I’m a 9th grader at Waterloo High School in Austin. I’ve prepared a really important topic today一 teen depression and suicide. It is a huge issue that needs to be brought to light. As we have started the digital age, depression rates among teens are skyrocketing, and the number of teens committing suicide today is increasing. Why is this? We’ll also cover the questions; “What is depression?” “How is it caused?” “How does it affect the brain?” “What can be done about it?” And many other questions you might have about this topic. I’ll be joined in the studio by Dr. Christina Swan. Thank you for listening!

We’d appreciate you rating us on iTunes greatly.

Part two ends with the spiritual: what are the thoughts following casual sex? How does marital abstinence (waiting for marriage) change the way sex is viewed? How does it affect future sexual relationships? How does sex affect you mentally? How does pornography play a role in your view of sex? How should you address the topic with your children/close relations?

My recording was about how a teenager like myself can improve our diet in many steps
and ways. One suggesting a gluten-free diet to limit our wheat intake. Another to tell how
much of each food group a teenager should be having, such as proteins, vegetables, grains and
fruits. In addition I explain a small section on the effects of caffeine. Relating to caffeine, I
also explained why sodas are bad for you and how you can deal with the love for them. Overall I hope you enjoy it and if you didn't know some things about a good diet, and I hope you receive good information about it when you listen to it.
