Teen Stories: Shedding the Mask

Many teens wrestle with the challenge of fitting in — sometimes at the cost of losing themselves. On today's show, Mark sits down with two Heartlight residents who share their stories of wearing masks to please others while chasing popularity. Both young women reveal how their struggles led to broken trust with family, poor choices and a sense of disconnection from who they truly are. Now, through honest conversations and counseling at Heartlight, they're learning how to embrace their authentic selves and feel more confident.
