How can adults support teens in a digital world?
It’s really hard to be a human – and even harder to be a teenager. Navigating physical, mental, and emotional changes, while also balancing growing expectations and relationships, is particularly difficult in a tech-centric world. Adults have a responsibility to hear teen voices and respond with empathy.
Adults have always worried about teenagers, with growing concern regarding newfangled technology. Kyra Kyles shared a “doom reporting” headline she’d seen earlier – “Digital Fentanyl” – offering negativity without solution. What adults should do, the panelists agreed, is work with teenagers, not speak for them; give them agency and explain ramifications of their digital behaviors; act as allies; and recognize the importance of connection.
Katya Hancock shared statistics painting today’s teens as the “loneliest generation in history”: 50% feel they don’t belong, 25% feel very lonely all or most of the time. Hancock announced a new biannual $1 million commitment and open funding call for orgs working on teen well-being in a tech-driven world.
