Screenagers Under the Influence: Addressing Vaping, Drugs, and Alcohol in the Digital Age is the third documentary in the Screenagers series, exploring how the tech revolution has reshaped adolescence and its relationship with substance use. The film debunks myths and offers practical strategies for parents and schools—from setting limits and supporting teen mental health to creating healthier home environments. It also highlights the many ways young people are using their own wisdom and strength to help each other navigate this complicated terrain.
Unlike most documentaries that focus on severe addiction, Screenagers Under the Influence addresses the more common scenarios teens actually face—including being flooded by images of vaping, drugs, and alcohol across social media, movies, and TV. Like its predecessors, the film weaves cutting-edge science with personal stories to create an experience that's both informative and engaging for teens and adults alike.
