Teen Stories: No Regrets?

MARK GREGSTON
About this episode

When teens get caught up in having fun or trying to fit in, there's a good chance they won't think through their decisions very well. But when the consequences of their actions finally catch up to them, how will they feel about their choices? In this episode, Mark chats with two young ladies who reflect on mistakes they made in high school. In Gracie's case, nothing was going to stop her from having fun ... until she got caught stealing thousands of dollars from her parents. Tune in for these honest and insightful interviews!

If YOUR teen is going through changes right now, check out Mark's book, "What's Happening To My Teen?" at bit.ly/3zbI5hW
