Teen Voices: Refugee Stories and Teenage Realities
“I think the best part of being a teenager is that it's a time that you can experience life by yourself without nobody else telling you. So you experience hard times and good times by yourself without people being behind your back, because as a teenager, your mentality goes off a bit. You're actually trying to be your own self, trying to build your own self for the future.”
Imagine moving to a new country as a teenager, leaving behind everything familiar. In this episode of Youth and Loud, you'll hear from Long, Dang Jay, Dang T, Neil, and Augustan, all from the Edmund Rice Community and Refugee Services. They open up about their families' journeys as refugees and the unique challenges they face as teens in Australia.
They talk about the struggles their parents went through, the importance of being kind, and how to stay balanced in an online world. They also dive into the ups and downs of teenage life—peer pressure, finding true friends, and building a future on your own terms. One guest highlights the essence of being a teenager: it's about shaping your own path and experiencing life firsthand.
If you're seeking genuine stories and practical advice for navigating the teenage years, this episode is a must-listen.
