Bridging the Gap

Project Description:

Hi there! My name is Lexi Marico Frost, of the graduating class of 2025. My Girl Scout Gold award is focused around bringing attention to the stressors of the modern teenage/high school environment, with an emphasis around encouraging parent empathy and understanding. 

As part of my project, I surveyed parents’ and teenagers’ high school experiences, compiling responses in the 5 minute video below. These anonymous reflections are a reminder that we have much more in common than we realize—by recognizing this, we can address teen issues together. 

Also included below is a recording of a presentation I gave to our LCHS PTSA, which goes into detail on our current academic environment and the struggles that many teenagers face—and strategies of approach for parents/guardians to connect with their students and address this.
