Teenagers now average nearly five hours per day on social media — but it’s not always great for their mental health. Plus: We'll hear from a new teacher in Kansas about what she’s hoping from her first year on the job.

Going back to school can be exciting, but data shows it also coincides with a surge in mental health problems in teens. And as rates of depression and anxiety rise, Kansas health care professionals are increasingly focusing on the role social media plays. Rose Conlon of the Kansas News Service reports from Derby.

Another school year is underway in Kansas. And for some teachers, this will be their first time welcoming students and taking charge of a classroom. Suzanne Perez of the Kansas News Service talked with a first-year teacher in Wichita who’s feeling a little bit like the kindergartners in her class.
