Some of the teens who smile and laugh all the time are also the ones who are struggling the most on the inside. Behind the happy, bubbly exterior, these teens desperately hope someone will see what's going on in their hearts. In this episode, Mark Gregston chats with two Heartlight residents, including a young lady who is known around campus for being fun and outgoing, but on the inside, she struggles with anxiety and self-esteem issues. Tune in to hear her insightful interview!
