About this listen

Why are teenagers more connected than ever—yet emotionally distant?

Why do so many parents feel shut out, confused, or powerless?

"They're Here, But Somehow Absent" is a thoughtful exploration of teen mental health in today’s overwhelming, digital-first world. Drawing on real-life observations and psychological insight, this audiobook helps parents better understand what modern teenagers are going through—and how to truly be there for them.

From constant screen exposure and social media pressure to anxiety and emotional overload, many adolescents struggle silently. This audiobook explains how the digital age affects teenage mental health and why these challenges are becoming more common.

Written for parents, caregivers, and educators, this audiobook offers clarity, empathy, and perspective—without judgment or quick-fix solutions.

If you are looking for a deeper understanding of parenting teenagers, emotional presence, and growing up in a world that never slows down, this audiobook will help you see what is really happening beneath the surface.
