Last week we spoke about divorce, what it’s like for a parent to not be present in a kid’s life at all, and how that feels. This week we are going to talk about what it’s like when a parent is present, but maybe that presence is inconsistent. Melissa is 16 years old. Her parents separated when she was barely 5. She lived mainly with her mother, and although her father was present in her life, it was never consistent. Today, she talks about how that affected her, and what she learned in the process.
Families can look very different. Some kids have two parents and some kids have one. Sometimes parents are together, or they can be divorced. Some parents may not be around often, or at all. This may make kids feel left out, excluded, or even ridiculed. Do those feelings ever change? 16 year old Taylar’s parents divorced when she was really young, and having her Dad missing from school events was super hard on her. Today, she talks about what that felt like when she was in middle school, and how she feels about it all now.
When she was younger, 14 year old Asha was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD). It’s pretty common amongst students, but when you’re first diagnosed it can feel like you are the only person in the world who has it. You may feel like it’s something you don’t want other people to find out about. How will they react? Asha had those same feelings, but in 6th grade, she bravely told her entire class that she had ADHD, and it wasn’t nearly as scary as she thought it might be. She talks to us today about understanding that what makes her different, gives her a superpower.
Listener discretion is advised, as this episode may be triggering if you have suffered from depression. 1 in 8 kids in the US have reported at least one major depressive episode in the past year. More importantly, the rates of suicide among young people has jumped nearly 60% since 2007. Today’s guest, a 17 year old teen, suffered major depression after her school crush attempted suicide. Those feelings can feel overwhelming and all consuming. Our guest speaks about the battles she faced with understanding the powerful emotions she felt, and most importantly, how she understood those emotions should not overpower her.
Happy New Year! With the start of the new year, a lot of us are heading back to school and back to our friends. Whether you’re heading to school in person or logging back in to Zoom, there are still feelings of wanting to fit in, especially if you haven’t seen your friends in a while. We’ve all wanted to feel accepted and included. Have you ever wanted that so much that you were willing to change something about yourself to get people to like you? Haerin’s been there. She knows about doing whatever it is you can, including dismissing your culture, in order to fit in. Let’s hear her story and how she learned to accept herself for who she is.
We’ve talked a lot about anxiety and stress, and for good reason! So many kids deal with all sorts of anxious feelings which take on so many different forms. It’s hard to know what exactly might set off an anxiety attack and how it will make you feel. Sometimes it can make you feel sick or weird and it can be really scary. Is this what anxiety feels like? Is it a normal feeling? Yes! Taila totally gets it. When she was graduating 8th grade, she had a panic attack, and those can be intense. She talks about what led to her panic attack and what she did to feel better.
Your support system is so important. Whether they are your family, friends, or a teacher, the adults in your life are encouraging you to get through whatever you may be struggling with. What would happen if you didn’t have that support system? When she was 13, Tatiana had to suddenly pick up and leave her home in the British Virgin Islands after a catastrophic storm, to go to school in New York. She was away from her parents, her friends, and her entire life as she knew it, was gone in an instant. Let’s hear how she dealt with being away from her parents and what she learned.
Growing up, we’re taught to stand up for what you believe in. Shouldn’t be too hard, right? But what if it goes against what all your friends are doing? What if it goes against what your teacher and your school is doing? When she was younger, Isabella was faced with a tough choice. Take part in an annual school project that went against her Native American culture, or speak up about the truth and go against her school. Today we’ll hear how she learned to stand up for what’s right and be true to who you are.
