The teenage years are full of ups and downs as our kids try to figure out who they are and how they fit into the world. But when self-doubt and feelings of inadequacy creep into the picture, it can lead them into a spiral. In today's interviews with Heartlight teens, Mark Gregson sits down with two young men, including a 16-year-old who opens up about his struggles with anxiety, depression and a feeling of never being good enough. Tune in to hear how he's developing healthy coping skills at the boarding school!
