À propos de cet audio
How is media shaping the way young people see themselves and the world?
In this episode of Detroit Youth Rising, Bobbi, president of the Detroit Phoenix Center Youth Action Board, sits down with Christina and Kassidy to unpack the influence of movies, TV, and—most of all—social media. They share how youth are portrayed online, the pressures that come with constant exposure, and what they'd like to see change in the way their generation is represented.
The conversation dives into the mental health impacts of media, from comparison and misinformation to the addictive pull of scrolling. Christina and Kassidy speak openly about the positives—like connecting across distances and finding useful tools—and the negatives, such as unrealistic portrayals, harmful content, and the loss of face-to-face connection. They also reflect on what happens when young people take breaks from their phones and rediscover life offline.
Through their candid stories, Christina and Kassidy highlight the double-edged role of media in their lives. They reveal both the opportunities it offers and the harm it can cause, challenging listeners to think more critically about how technology is used—and how it could be reshaped to better serve today's youth.
