Hey! I’m Abhishek, and I’m a teen, so I get it. I know what it’s like to doubt yourself, wonder if you’re good enough, or feel the weight of others’ expectations. There are days when it feels like no one truly understands, and opening up just seems too hard.
That’s exactly why I started Shine on Youth. I wanted to create a space where teens can feel supported, inspired, and know it’s absolutely okay to be themselves. We all deserve to feel confident and powerful, no matter what society says. It’s time we stop letting comparison and judgment control our happiness and sense of worth.
If you’re struggling, or if you want to be part of something that lifts others up and sparks positive change, we’ve got your back. Together, we’ll make sure that no teen ever feels alone in their journey. The world is waiting for you to shine—let’s do this, together!
