Description

To mark Men’s Mental Health Awareness Week, Jodie Yettram sits down with five sixth-form students to talk about what it’s really like growing up as a teenage boy in today’s world.

From gym culture and body image to pornography, politics, online radicalisation and the rise of far-right influencers, the boys speak openly about what they’re seeing, what worries them, and what gives them hope.
