"I Just Need Time": A Teen’s Perspective | Aderinsola Adegbooye | TEDxYouth@FuntajIntlSchool

Adenrele Adegboye reflects on the intense pressures teens face from school, social media, and family, revealing how these lead to stress and self-doubt. She encourages youth to reclaim their time through mindfulness and self-care, reminding them that their worth lies not in busyness, but in living well. Adenrele Adegbooye, a 15 year old, shares what it truly feels like to grow up in a world of constant pressure—from academics and social media to family expectations. Exploring the illusion of time scarcity, the speaker shows how stress, perfectionism, and comparison affect today’s youth. With practical tools like mindfulness, time management, and self-care, this talk offers teens a new perspective: time isn’t your enemy—it’s yours to reclaim. A powerful reminder that your worth isn’t measured by how much you do, but by how well you live. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
