Parenting Today's Teens - Teen Stories: Looking for Acceptance in the Wrong Places
From The Journey On Demand · 20:18
Show by 88.3 The Journey
Ever wonder why some teens push the limits, break rules or slip into risky choices like substance use? It’s not always about rebellion — sometimes, it’s about wanting to fit in or just find relief from pain. In this episode, Mark talks with two Heartlight residents whose stories echo the same deep need to be seen and accepted. Both struggled with family misunderstandings, the challenge of changing environments and the temptation to escape through drugs. They open up about how their search for connection — and the feeling of being misunderstood at home — set them on a rough path, and how honest conversations and newfound trust have started to shift things. Listen in as these teens get real about what belonging truly means.To learn more about the Heartlight residential program, visit heartlightministries.org
