How are young people handling current influences on life? This week's 8th graders, Ayla, Alexis, John, and Roshann bring in classmates Keara and Tori. The group of teens take on the topic of pop culture and outside influences on middle school life. They talk social media, clothing, sports, peer pressure, online comments, judgmental classmates, maintaining a healthy identity, effects on social image, and more! What did the students miss? What are your thoughts on the impact of pop culture and other related influences on teenage life?
