The challenges of being a teenage musician are the same now as they have been for decades – most venues have little interest in performers whose members and friends are too young to buy drinks, events tend to be run by adult professionals who are less than entertained by youthful passion that might outsize talent, lots of teens just don’t have the money to afford professional equipment and spaces. So lots of shows for young bands tend to be in fly by night style – at backyard parties and such – which might be fun, but aren’t the most sustainable or safe model.

Surgeon General Issues New Advisory About Effects Social Media Use Has on Youth Mental Health6/21/2024
Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy Urges Action to Ensure Social Media Environments are Healthy and Safe, as Previously-Advised National Youth Mental Health Crisis Continues
Today, United States Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy released a new Surgeon General’s Advisory on Social Media and Youth Mental Health - PDF. While social media may offer some benefits, there are ample indicators that social media can also pose a risk of harm to the mental health and well-being of children and adolescents. Social media use by young people is nearly universal, with up to 95% of young people ages 13-17 reporting using a social media platform and more than a third saying they use social media “almost constantly.” Read More CLAIM: Using the new 988 mental health hotline “will automatically route your geolocation information to local authorities.”
AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The hotline does not currently have the capability to detect the exact location of a caller, nor does it “automatically” share such information with authorities. Federal officials held a recent forum to discuss the possibility of adding geolocation capabilities to 988 in the future to connect callers with nearby crisis centers and for rare cases of responding to imminent risk. THE FACTS: The country’s first nationwide three-digit mental health crisis hotline went live on Saturday, as The Associated Press reported. The hotline is designed to connect callers with trained mental health counselors. Read More Be honest. Don’t judge. Tell us how to be safe. Share your experiences.
