What causes self-conscious emotions in teens?
This week's hosts, Connor and Sparsh, talk with classmates Grace and Amanda. The 8th graders examine self-consciousness, focusing on the stress of embarrassment and what affects internal self-talk throughout middle school. Specifics include perceptions of ourselves, grades in school, lying or showing off, social image, popularity, and how environment can alter personality.
