17 + SEARCHING: Stories of Hope for Struggling Teens
Twenty-eight 17 year olds from around the world. Each one doing everything they think they're supposed to do. Each one struggling with anxiety, depression, loneliness, identity, purpose. And the overwhelming question: What am I supposed to do with my life?
From Seoul to São Paulo, Lagos to London, these teens face climate anxiety, mental health challenges, AI uncertainty, social media pressure, and the deep fear that everyone else has it figured out-except them.
If you've ever felt lost despite trying your best, if you're searching for meaning when everyone expects you to have all the answers, if you need reassurance that you're not alone in feeling overwhelmed-these stories are for you.
Real struggles. Global perspectives. Inspiring journeys of self-discovery that remind you: it's okay not to have it all figured out yet.
You're not alone. You're just searching. And that's exactly where you're supposed to be.
