About this listen
In this episode, Kristi challenges the idea that all teens are lonely in today’s digital world. While research highlights serious concerns about youth isolation and the role of social media, it’s just as important to recognize the nuance: not every teen is struggling. Some are finding meaningful connections online, building resilience, and even thriving.
We’ll explore:
Why the media focuses on extreme loneliness.
The risks of using “all-encompassing” language about kids.
Real stories of teens who are finding support and identity through online communities.
How parents and professionals can hold both truths—that loneliness is real for many, but not universal.
This conversation is about balance, hope, and better ways to support our kids in a digital age.
