Quaren-teenager "It's NOT ok!"
It's Not ok! Our teenagers are just as important as our first responders and essential workers. Their is a shared suffering that our teenagers are trying to deal with and they should not have to do it alone. Teen suicide and depression is on the rise. Adults have learned to cope and expect teens to do the same without the tools necessary. Paul Bunch from River Rock Film Studio in Hollywood, California shares the story of his son and his latest project "Alone." Paul recounts hearing his son tell him "It's not ok" and realizing as a father and an artist he had to do something.
Paul interviewed teenagers and what he found out will get your attention and make you realize we are neglecting our youth. Paul's project is a call to action. A wake up call to adults. We need to talk to our young men and women and let them know we are their advocates and we are suffering with them.
In the shared experience we can produce solutions that heal.
