North Springs High School Students Push Back Against Adults Who Won't Listen

In this podcast at North Springs High School, teens describe feeling unheard and unseen when adults dismiss their opinions, which can cause sadness, shutting down, and a changed self-image. These interviews suggest adults may belittle teens due to power, generational mindset, trauma, or assumptions that age equals knowledge, with consequences including low self-esteem, behavioral issues, and mental health struggles; students also urge teachers and parents to allow breaks and mental health days.
