The Institute for Family Studies has published a list of legal and policy recommendations to protect teens from the dangers of social media. Among the recommendations are age-verification laws, parental consent requirements, and shutting down social media platforms at night for teens.

An ex-transgender 17-year-old girl is urging states across the U.S. to make it more difficult for minors to undergo hormone therapy and surgery, arguing that children and teens should not be able to make such life-altering decisions.

It's not easy finding a movie that will be loved by mom and dad – and that also will be appreciated by their teenage daughter or son.

It's even harder to find ones that meet that criterion while having a positive message, a few biblical lessons and that have stood the test of time.

But we think we've found a few. Mind you, not every teenager will be crazy about all the titles on our list. Most teenagers, though, will enjoy a least a few of them.

In fact, these seven movies are so good – having set records and won awards – that every Christian teenager should check them out.

Here, then, are seven classic movies every Christian teenager should watch:

Behavior modification can treat symptoms, but not the underlying despair. In a Pew Research Center study released last November, only 15 percent of Americans mentioned faith as a “source of meaning”; outside of the U.S., the percentage drops to 5 percent.

According to The New York Times, some teens are choosing to keep their masks on, even after pandemic mandates end. The reason isn’t because they fear Covid. It’s due to anxiety.

According to a recent survey, 1 in 6 young Americans in Generation Z identify as something 'other than heterosexual'.

Every available metric of social and mental health suggests that today’s kids are more depressed, more anxious, and feel more lonely and isolated than any generation before them. The last thing young people need is adults telling them that “no-strings-attached” sex is a good idea. Or even possible.

More than one in 10 evangelical teenagers in the United States are homeschooled and an additional six percent are in private school, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, most high school students in the United States are not having sex.

Many members of Generation Z are choosing justice over the gospel, but they don’t have to. They can choose both.
