0:04.2	If you are a parent with a teenage child or young adult or you are a grandparent concerned with the mental health or behavior of a grandchild,
0:12.9	I encourage you to stay tuned because the life of a teenager can be tough.
0:19.2	It has been especially tough this last year with the COVID-19
