tbh: by, about, and for teenagers

About tbh: by, about, and for teenagers

How are teens and teachers using or abusing ChatGPT at school? How can youth empower themselves mentally to become effective and optimistic climate activists? How did one Bay Area high school cope with the fentanyl-lacing death of a senior? Why are teenagers so passionate about demonstrating and protesting but not voting, and what can we do to change that? San Francisco Bay Area teens tell their stories on these subjects, and more, on KALW Public Media’s award-winning tbh podcast.
