"Story time" TikToks have become a positive outlet for news sharing and community building for students who have experienced school shootings. But at what point do they go from helpful to desensitizing? Teen Vogue spoke with experts on how social media shapes the way we process traumatic events:
Two students were killed and nine others were injured in a shooting by an unknown suspect on the Brown University campus on Dec. 13, 2025. In a personal essay for Teen Vogue, Brown University senior Angela Lian reflects on the community that has come together in the shooting's aftermath.
On Dec. 10, a new law that was passed by the Australian government last November went into effect, restricting the use of social media for those under 16.

#OpEd: This week, The White House TikTok account posted a pro-ICE video with Sabrina Carpenter's 'Juno' playing over it. It’s the latest example of the Trump admin's proclivity for pop music on social media. But why are artists like Carpenter the chosen soundtrack? And is the tactic working?
If a brand isn’t backing up its positive climate and labor initiatives with actions that will actually drive change, it's misdirecting consumers.
How beauty and wellness influencers are part of a misinformation ecosystem pushing traditional values on girls.

A letter from the Teen Vogue team regarding the recent changes at our publication.
As of today, @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social is holding a double-digit lead over disgraced former governor Andrew Cuomo in most polling around the race to become NYC’s mayor. In an interview with Teen Vogue, Mamdani credited the power of in-person community for bringing young people into his campaign.
NEW 🚨 @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social made time to catch up with @teenvogue.com in advance of Tuesday's elections 🗳️
we talked about the campaign's base of energized young people, and why politics isn't just about the ballot box — it's about "a sense of belonging in the city that you call home."
Across the Hudson River, Ali is described as Zohran Mamdani's twin flame: a progressive Muslim running against a disgraced former governor—in his case, Jim McGreevy—churning out campaign memes on Instagram and TikTok. Also like Mamdani, Ali's seen support from progressive politicians across the US.
In 2017, Mussab Ali was elected to Jersey City’s Board of Ed at 20, becoming school board president 3 years later. Now 28, equipped with organizing and nonprofit experience, he’s running on affordable housing, fast and free buses, and stopping corrupt practices like pay-to-play in local politics.
welcome to @teenvogue.com new series Challengers: talking to candidates either challenging an incumbent candidate who isn't meeting the moment—or challenging the political system's expectations of what a candidate can look like
up first @mussabali.bsky.social, 28, who might be Jersey City's Zohran
I very much like the idea of this series. Teen Vogue is really out here meeting the moment.

via @wired.com: Today’s high schoolers face an uncertain road ahead. Evolving factors like AI and the Trump admin are changing what most professions could look like in the next 10 years, let alone 50. Now, students interested in STEM are asking: What can my career look like, and how do I get there?
Online censorship is one of the many levers of state power right-wingers have been pulling to try and snuff out queer and trans existence. But instead of fighting back, some Democrats are helping them at the controls. Read the full #OpEd from @fightforthefuture.org
Welcome to the Take, Teen Vogue’s politics newsletter, where we’ll keep you up-to-date on the organizers, politicians, and agents of change trying to save our world — or at least shift things for the better. I’m politics editor Lex McMenamin, and starting today, I’ll be explaining how we’re seeing current events, and sharing our coverage. On Saturday, an estimated 5 to 6 million people joined a No Kings rally in their area, likely becoming the largest recorded single-day action in the United States. But what does one day have to do with all the rest, if you're not sure how to sustain your resistance beyond an event? "Protest is a tactic; it is not a strategy on its own, and it should never be intended to stand on its own outside of a broader strategy," Indivisible’s Leah Greenberg, co-organizer of No Kings, told me the day before the rallies. So we’re sharing some key ways you can get involved in your community today, if you’re not sure where to start. Til the weekend! Lex

Evelyn Parts, who goes by Evie, was banned from competing with her college's varsity cross country and track team because she is a transgender woman.
Now, she's taking action. On August 14, she filed a federal lawsuit against the NCAA and Swarthmore College. Read the full story:
there are lessons from No Kings' scale that serve us all.
if this is the sum of your protest experience, what's next for you?
if you are someone plugged into movement and direct action outside electoral politics, can this be an opportunity for you to radicalize someone and bring new resources in?
