At this year’s town hall, we’ll dive into some of the hottest topics affecting teens today:
📱 The Impact of Social Media on Youth
How does social media shape the way we think and feel about ourselves and others? Is constant scrolling affecting your mental health?
Let’s talk about the role of social media in our daily lives and how we can strike a healthy balance.
🗣️ The Lost Art of Communication
Has social media and texting replaced face-to-face conversations?
We’ll discuss how we can reclaim meaningful communication in a world dominated by screens.
🎒 New School Policy: Cell Phone Pouches
How do you feel about the new school policy requiring cell phones to be kept in pouches during class? Does the lack of immediate phone access make you feel more focused—or more anxious?
We’ll explore the pros and cons of this new policy and how it affects your day-to-day life.
📊 Phone Usage & Mental Health: How Much is Too Much?
How much time do you spend on your phone each day? Between social media, videos, and games, it can add up quickly.
We’ll discuss the link between screen time and mental health, and whether constant phone usage is contributing to stress, anxiety, or distraction.
This is your chance to speak up and share your experiences! How do you balance being connected online with your mental health? We want to hear your voice! Don’t miss this opportunity to engage in thought-provoking conversations with your peers and meet new friends. RSVP today and bring your friends for a night of food, fun, and open discussion!
