Teens often take prescription drugs to deal with anxiety, depression, get more sleep, improve energy, focus at school, or lose weight. Medications are generally safe and designed to help us when prescribed by a doctor. However, some teens continue to use prescription drugs even when they no longer need it. This week, we discuss both the positives and negatives of taking prescription drugs and share our perspective on this critical issue.

What is empathy? Empathy is modeled and learned through experiences. No one can claim to understand how someone is feeling without having gone through the same experience themselves. But how do we build empathy in young people? Why is this important? This week, we're taking a look at historical empathy. By teaching historical empathy, we can help young people connect with the past and to better understand people's emotional experiences and circumstances during a specific event or crisis.

The coronavirus pandemic is causing a lot of turmoil throughout the world. Here in the U.S., we are witnessing a severely broken education system and health care system. Recently, companies like Boeing and the airline industry, cruise lines, casinos (gamblers), hotels, and the oil/gas industry are asking for federal bailouts. It's clear the U.S. government prioritizes large corporations and Wall Street rather than people. Why not put money into our public education system so that young people can thrive? Why not humanity first? This week on TruthLinesVoice®, we respond to the crisis that's affecting us, too.

The political world is known for being a dishonest one. Everyone knows that politicians manipulate others to get votes, and dishonesty is often necessary in times of crisis to prevent extreme panic. But how did politics become so filled with lies, particularly in the United States? This week on TruthLinesVoice®, we take a look back at the history of corrupt politics in America and what’s happening in the present.

Remember your very first childhood friend? The two of you were in the same classroom, you played together at recess, and you admired each other’s lunch boxes. Your tastes in similar things brought you closer together—no drama to deal with, no expectations. Then something changed as you both got older. What just happened? This week on TruthLinesVoice®, we talk about how we can grow in our relationships and pursue our individuality at the same time even when life gets in the way.
