This illustration shows the national trend of more high schoolers opting to take a gap year before college. This educational break can be spent traveling, doing mission work or completing apprenticeships. Experts, like research analyst Julia Rodgers, say that gap years provide a much-needed mental break that motivates students to complete their degree in four years; therefore, helping students to save money on tuition costs. But critics point out that gap years are merely an excuse to postpone school work. Illustration by Mei Wai Lee.

This editorial cartoon shows how todays youth are being consumed by the demands of social media. With all eyes on them and their eyes on what is going on in the world, teens find that this connectivity can be suffocating. The toxicity of cyberbulling and phishing overwhelm teens, who are not prepared to handle the consequences. Add this to a mix of other factors, like lack of social interactions and stressful current events, and it makes sense why a recent study shows that almost 50% of teens report feeling sad and hopeless. Editorial Cartoon By Journey Flores.
