The paradox of being a teen in 2026. In this episode we deep dive teen culture, specifically: where do all the teens go when there's no teen media, but social media is banned? How do policy-makers treat teenagers? Are teenagers really 'growing up too fast'? Finally, we finish with a commentary on systemic racism embedded within Australian government structures, and how this influences the way we perceived teen crime.

Let's dive in!
