We are the first generation where social media is pretty much all we have ever known. We have been on social media as late as 3rd grade. There have been few memorable moments when social media was not creating a virtual world within our lives. And the social pressures did not lessen by entering this new world. Now, with our eyes constantly viewing everyone's lives more than ever before, comparison and judging have never been easier. Today Jennasea and Stephanie discuss the role social media has had in their lives, and more specifically how it can easily overtake someone's life and mental health. Leave us a message!

When the adults are acting like children, the children sometimes have to step up to make change. Internationally, the subject of climate change, global warming, and the negative human impacts on the Earth are ignored. The scientists who are proving the facts are not being taken seriously by politicians and big business. The political authority is dominated by those who will die before climate change really takes place and as a result, the severity of the future of our planet is being jeopardized. We are the voters of tomorrow, and our voices should be heard. Join us today as we discuss the international youth climate strike that has taken the globe by storm. And, hear from some of the teens that will not be silenced until the earth's cries for help are silenced as well.
