#505: Living With...

This program addresses the most critical issues and problems concerning school, friends and family that challenge young people who are coping with serious and/or chronic conditions. Teens speak frankly from their experiences, sharing their concerns and advice with insight and humor. A boy describes his ways of dealing with Crohns; a girl copes with Juvenile Diabetes; and other teens who are in treatment for asthma, cancer and sickle cell anemia tell us about their conditions and dispel misconceptions. They all stress that they want to be treated as normal teenagers.
