Review of What We Wish We Could Tell Our Parents

Curie Youth Radio's vox pop on what teenagers wish they could tell their parents is a surprising look into the sometimes strained, sometimes strong relationships between parent and child.
All of the soundbytes included were excellent. There was a great variety in voices and perspective, though the segment leaned towards the negative more than the positive. Though, in light of that, we may actually stop and ask ourselves whether the darkest parts of our lives are the same things that we hide from others, including our parents. The order of the voices was excellent.
My favorite parts of the segment included a boy's comment on why he did not have a girlfriend. Many of the short remarks or comments made by the teenagers here indicate larger, more universal issues that all listeners will be able to connect to.
Excellent sound, transition and selection of voices. Great work!
