What is the influence of drugs on teenage life? How do middle school students perceive vaping, alcohol, and marijuana use?
This week our hosts Lauren and Rhys have another conversation about drug use, focusing on media influence on teenagers, legalization, and other perceptions surrounding the topic. This week's guests, Aarushi and Nick, help process things with their own thoughts, and the four 8th graders leave younger listeners with some basic recommendations for handling the decisions that lay ahead.
