Teens aren't getting enough sleep! And a two-decade study suggests it's getting worse. Scientists found that the number of high schoolers getting insufficient sleep — less than seven hours a night — has increased from 69% to 77%. The throughline? There wasn't one. Teens had bad sleep habits across most demographics, including race, gender and grade level. The findings were published this week in the journal JAMA.Interested in more science behind recent headlines?

I'll be honest: I have a hard time with the idea of kids on social media. And still… the reality is: Teens (and preteens) are being pulled into this world, and parents are left trying to make sense of it. So, we sat down with Meta to find the safest way to protect our kids in these social media times.In this conversation, Kristin interviews Tara Hopkins (Global Director of Public Policy at Instagram/Meta — and a mom of two teens) and asks the questions parents actually have about Teen Accounts, content exposure, messaging, time limits, AI, and what “safety” really means in a world of short-form dopamine loops.Full disclosure, this episode isn't going to leave you saying, “social media is perfect.” But, if you've already given your child Instagram, if you're curious what limits you can place for your kid begging for social media, or you know someone in the thick of it, you'll walk away knowing *exactly* what you can, and can't do, to protect your kid online, which is exactly what I hoped.This is an information-forward, real-world conversation for parents who want to understand:• What Instagram Teen Accounts actually are and what happens inside them• What protections are in place for teens (and where parents can take a step further) • How Meta approaches sensitive content and teen safety• How time limits, sleep settings, and parental permissions work• Where AI fits into all of thisMy hope is simple: more clarity, less spiraling. Whether you're firmly in the “no social media” camp, already navigating it with your teen, or you can feel the pressure creeping in… this episode gives you a clearer picture of what's being built, how to use parameters that already exist, and what questions still deserve answers.Disclaimer: you have to be 13+ to use Meta platformsFor access to more helpful tools and expert guidance, parents can visit https://familycenter.meta.com.● Instagram Teen Accounts —now inspired by 13+ movie ratings—are designed to give parents peace of mind that their teens are safer with the right protections in place.

Strangest Things Teens Have Done by Maine's Coast 93.1

Tara exposes the human cost of U.S. foreign policy in Iran, tracing how Barack Obama's $56 billion deal indirectly supported a regime that executed teenage girls for resisting sexual abuse. Using the story of Antifa Rajabi Salah, Tara unpacks the brutal reality of Iran's theocratic justice system, the empowerment of the IRGC, and why sanctions relief often props up oppression. She highlights the moral stakes of foreign aid, human rights, and why Trump's recent military actions are not just strategic—they're a reckoning. Episode Summary: In this episode, Tara dives into the grim realities of Iran under theocratic rule and examines the consequences of U.S. foreign policy decisions. She tells the harrowing story of Antifa Rajabi Salah, a young girl who was sexually abused from age thirteen and executed at sixteen for reporting her abuser—a member of the IRGC. Tara explains how Barack Obama's 2015 decision to release $56 billion in frozen assets to Iran empowered the same regime responsible for such atrocities. The funds bolstered nuclear and missile programs and kept human rights violators in power. Tara contrasts this with Trump's decisive military actions against Iran today, framing them as a necessary response to decades of sanctioned evil. This episode is a stark reminder of the human lives behind geopolitical decisions and why moral clarity matters in foreign policy. Key Topics Covered: The tragic story of Antifa Rajabi Salah and teenage executions in Iran The IRGC's role in oppression and sexual violence Barack Obama's $56 billion Iran deal and its consequences Sanctions relief and its impact on human rights abuses Why U.S. military actions today are part of addressing decades of state-backed violence The moral stakes of foreign policy, feminism, and human rights

Pastor Dan Burrell and StudentLIFE Pastor Trae Woodard talk about the vitality of knowing and responding to the influences that are in teenagers' lives today. 

Nearly 80% of high school students report getting less than the recommended amount of sleep. Is it puberty, caffeine, busy schedules, or digital distraction? In this episode of Facing the Dark, Wayne and Dr. Kathy explore the causes and dangers of teen sleep deprivation and how Psalm 127 reframes sleep as a gift from God.

The study will examine a dietary supplement and mindfulness-based cognitive therapy.

The Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court heard oral arguments about whether it must strike down the law that limits handgun licenses to people 21 and up, a challenge that came about after the U.S. Supreme Court restricted how much say local authorities have in determining whether someone should have a license to carry a gun.

In a world that tells every parent of young children, “Just you wait until they're teens. Then you'll really know how bad parenting can be,” RuthAnn Zimmerman and I are here to call hog wash. Yes, teens are a unique challenge and need to be treated with kindness and discernment. Yes, teen struggles can  feel much bigger and scarier than toddler meltdowns. But teenagers also can be delightful, funny, and thoughtful. In this show, we debunk the myth that the teen stage has to be miserable and talk about some strategies we've employed to not just survive but thrive through it. I know you'll be encouraged to reframe your mindset about teenagers to one of hope rather than dread.

"We want the ones who's stealing the cars. We want the ones who's robbing. We want the ones who's failing with their schoolwork." That's what staff members at Teen Empowerment (TE) say about connecting with local young people. The nonprofit works alongside teens to foster peace, equity, and justice in the community. As reported by WXXI's Noelle Evans and Max Schulte, the center recently opened a new location at the corner of Magee and Dewey avenues — an area on Rochester's north side that has been the site of numerous deaths by gun violence in recent years. TE leaders say it an opportunity to offer young people a different pathway forward. This hour, we sit down with some of the teens and a Teen Empowerment leader to discuss their work, their goals, and what the new hub means for their mission.

What does faithful discipleship look like when a teen struggles with ADHD, dyslexia, autism, anxiety, or other hidden disabilities?In this episode of the Key Ministry Podcast, Dr. Steve Grcevich is joined by Dr. Brian Barrineau, Pastor of Family Ministries at Fruit Cove Baptist Church, for a practical and deeply encouraging conversation about discipling teens with learning differences.Hidden disabilities are often misunderstood. They aren't always visible. They don't always come with clear labels. And yet, they profoundly shape how teens experience church, school, relationships, and their own identity.Together, Steve and Brian explore how churches and families can move beyond fear and into faithful, intentional inclusion.This episode will help you think more clearly about:• Why hidden disabilities require intentional discipleship pathways• The overlap between neurodivergence and mental health struggles• How Deuteronomy 6 applies to families raising neurodivergent teens• What churches can do when volunteers feel intimidated or unprepared• Why belonging matters more than perfection in ministry• When pastoral care should involve professional mental health supportDr. Barrineau brings a unique perspective as a former high school teacher, pastor, researcher, and parent of a child with learning differences. His insights bridge the classroom and the church — helping leaders and families navigate both environments with wisdom.One of the most powerful reminders from this conversation:“If that family feels seen, known, and loved, the rest can be figured out.”Churches don't have to get everything right to begin. But they do have to communicate welcome.If you're a church leader, youth pastor, volunteer, or parent seeking to disciple a teen with hidden disabilities, this episode offers both theological grounding and practical encouragement.Resources Mentioned• Deuteronomy 6• Individual Spiritual Plans• IEPs and 504 Plans• Child Find early intervention services• Theory of Mind researchAbout Our GuestDr. Brian Barrineau serves as Pastor of Family Ministries at Fruit Cove Baptist Church in St. Johns, Florida. He holds a doctorate in education and is passionate about equipping churches to disciple students with learning differences in ways that are both biblically faithful and developmentally wise.

When food starts to feel tense, restrictive, or obsessive at home, it can send a parent into panic fast.In observation of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, Dr. Becky sits down with Dr. Erin Parks, Chief Clinical Officer at Equip Health, to talk about eating disorders and disordered eating in kids and teens—what the early signs look like, what's happening emotionally underneath, and how parents can respond without escalating shame or control struggles.Eating disorders affect an estimated 30 million Americans in their lifetime. They are common. They are serious. And they are not caused by “bad parenting.” In this episode, we cover: Early warning signs of eating disorders in kids and teens (including boys) When “healthy eating” becomes rigid or concerning The role of perfectionism and control How diet culture shows up in family language What shame sounds like inside a teen's head How to hold boundaries around health without turning food into a power struggle When it's time to seek professional help Disordered eating behaviors are not about vanity or defiance—they're often attempts to regulate overwhelming feelings.
