Questions are asked, stories are told. These are real conversations between young people on figuring out Adulting, trying to live their best lives no matter what and simply learning to thrive in the different phases of life. Young World is a cocktail of "weekly aha's", with a twist of "Oo they did that and so can I" and a dash of "let me mind my business, stay in my lane and go for what I want".
