In this episode of Point of View, we will be speaking to guests from On Point, New Beginnings, and CBI Counseling Center.  They will each share valuable insight on the issues children and adolescents face in today’s society such as anxiety, cyber-bullying, texting, and “sexting”.  Many of these issues focus on the tremendous rise in technology seen recently and how it has taken peer pressure to another level.

Our guests will also discuss small steps adults should take to become more aware of what is going on in the lives of children and adolescents. Some of the solutions suggested in this episode are: more adult supervision, additional structure, family values, and most importantly listening to what children have to say.
