As Jamie is interviewed by psychologist Briony (Erin Doherty), we see him slowly reveal that he's not an innocent kid, but warped by misogyny and a twisted sense of entitlement. The episode was captivating in its acting, but it stayed with you: from Jamie's sudden switch from vulnerability to manipulation, to the moment the camera zooms in on Briony's face as she registers who Jamie really is. Horrifying.

As the headlights swept across the driveway, I saw her standing there - stiff and stern, her body rigid with rage. One hand clutched our dog's leash, the other gripped a glass of water and was trembling slightly - not from fear, but from fury held barely in check. Her jaw was so tight, it looked like it might snap. Brightly lit by the car lights, she hurled the water in my face before I could even say hello.

I'm listening to Saves the Day's Stay What You Are on the car CD-player, on the way to play Soul Caliber and hold hands with my boyfriend after school ... It's cold, and you can still hear the dull thud of the music from the goth club in the basement under the sushi bar, and I'm wearing a cheap polyester corset, and I think I'm about to be kissed

My sister and I went on a joint diet. She stopped and I didn't. I'm 18. And I'm dragged from school to the hospital. And I'm made to look at myself. [MUSIC PLAYING] I weigh 56 pounds. Do you find you're too skinny? Yes, I am too skinny. But what does it matter? I had turned my body into a project, a revolt against nature Mother nature, my mother. A revolt against womanhood, adulthood. My biggest enemy? Time.

It was an incredible opportunity to photograph and immerse myself in often overlooked communities of children and teens in Chicago. Since I was in my teens and photographing my own family, childhood and adolescence has been a focus of my work. Girl Ascending, my 2010 monograph, explored the social lives and coming-of-age rituals of my daughter, Emma, her friends and teammates.

"That stage of life is all about figuring out who you are, which means emotions run high and identity can feel more fragile," said Kristin Anderson, licensed clinical social worker, founder of Madison Square Psychotherapy . "Because teens are still developing emotion regulation skills, small misunderstandings can escalate quickly in ways that are less common in adult relationships."

Adolescence can be characterized as a period of development, experimentation, and discovery. However, for the majority of teenagers, it is also a period with added stress. School pressures, social media influence, shifting friendships, and identity exploration can become a heavy load on adolescents. While some stresses involved are inevitable when growing up, too much stress that isn't dealt with properly can become harmful and lead to anxiety, burnout, or illness in the long run.

Netflix's breakout drama Adolescence has triumphed at this year's Emmys, winning six awards. The series, which became the streamer's second most-watched show ever, won for limited series, directing and writing and also picked up three acting awards. Owen Cooper became the youngest ever winner of the award for best supporting actor in a limited series. In his speech, the 15-year-old called the experience just so surreal.

Looking back, most parents and adult children are going to have some regrets about their adolescent time together. They may regret what they did (commission) or didn't do (omission)-mistakes made or opportunities missed. Commission regrets might be: "I wish I hadn't lied to them about so much and grown so far away." Dishonesty costs intimacy, creating distance from distrust. Or: "We held onto her too tight when we should have done more letting go!" Their need to control delayed important youthful learning from life experience.

The stakes can feel enormous. Peer influence is real and powerful, and it shifts dramatically during the teenage years. When children are young, they spend most of their time in smaller, more supervised worlds-at home with family and at school with teachers who keep a close eye on them. But as kids move into adolescence and gain more independence, friends start mattering more, filling the space previously held by parents and teachers

Teen friendships are essential for emotional development, providing a sense of belonging and healing uniquely different from adult support.

Teenagers experience significant transformations in their skin, becoming oilier and more prone to breakouts due to hormonal changes during puberty.

Despite its low promotion, the British drama 'Adolescence' achieved significant attention on Netflix, captivating viewers with its unique storytelling and deep themes.

IndieWire Honors will celebrate the creators behind outstanding TV work this season, culminating in a ceremony on June 5 to recognize remarkable artistic contributions.

You should consider all aspects of safety on the internet, like personal data and financial security.

The awkward longing, the spots, the insecurity: it's enough to cringe yourself into oblivion. For John Patrick McHugh, however, it is a rich seam to squeeze not only for humour, but for a nuanced examination of burgeoning masculinity.
