What happens when teens stop scrolling and start reflecting?

On this episode of Speak Your Truth with Pri on Alive 90.5FM, Pri sits down with Davina Raj, a thoughtful Year 11 student, to unpack how social media is shaping young lives — both online and offline.

Sparked by a real-life conversation with a youth who reminded us that “not everything online is real — some of it’s glorified,” this show explores the power, pressure, and potential of social media for today’s youth.

Together, Pri and Davina dive into:

• The difference between real life and highlight reels

• Social media’s impact on confidence, comparison, and connection

• Mental health, digital habits, and “scroll stress”

• How teens can use social platforms with purpose — not pressure

• Why face-to-face conversations still matter (yes, even when they’re awkward!)

Plus, listeners are invited to try the Taro Tea Challenge — a simple offline moment that could change how we connect.

This is an honest, hopeful conversation for teens, parents, educators, and anyone navigating life between the scroll and the soul.
