CNN —Sydney Sweeney is tapping into the ring as she prepares for a new film role that will stand out as compared to her previous body of work. The actress and producer shared an update on her Instagram page on Wednesday, revealing how production is going on a still-untitled biopic about famed boxer Christy Martin. Following her 2012 retirement from boxing, Martin founded an organization called Christy’s Champs, which supports victims of domestic abuse. “Christy’s story shines a light on her incredible rise to the top while showing the struggles of fame behind the curtains,” Sweeney told Deadline in May about taking on the role. “I feel compelled to tell a story about a woman who faced so much adversity and didn’t allow it to defeat her.

The US and Canada drive 70% of Netflix's revenue growth and are crucial for its future ad expansion. AdvertisementBy now, it's become a common refrain in Hollywood: Netflix has won the streaming wars. Amazon threw a wrench into Netflix's advertising ambitions by steamrolling into the market earlier this year. With subscriber growth potential limited in the US because Netflix is already quite saturated in the market, Netflix needs to ramp up ad revenue. While Netflix's ad tier growth is steadily adding inventory, those tech deals will take a couple of years to ramp up.

A new Pew study says nearly 70% of adults agree that schools should ban phones during class. But the broader topic of social media and its effects on teen mental health is still being debated. The US Surgeon General recently suggested social media should come with a warning label for teens. AdvertisementResearch on social media and teen mental health isn't always clearOn the other hand, the argument that social media and phone use are causing a mental health crisis for teens is not as clearly a slam-dunk case.

A 19-year-old man was arrested on suspicion of killing his father at a popular waterfall in Southern California, authorities said. Deputies responded to a call about an assault with a deadly weapon, according to a Saturday statement from the sheriff’s department. In a Sunday statement, the sheriff’s department said the man involved in the vehicle collision was the 19-year-old son of the victim. The case will be passed on to prosecutors with the Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office for potential charges, according to the sheriff's department. Stoddard Canyon Falls was featured in a Los Angeles Times’ article last year as a hidden gem after it gained popularity on TikTok.

Almost half of young women have at least a bachelor’s degree compared to 37% of young men. That compares to 2008, when Barack Obama won the votes of 66% of young men. One of the biggest financial pressure points for young men has been higher rents, which are up around 20% since 2020. Young men are more likely to be financially dependent on their parents compared to young women, with 74% of women describing themselves as mostly financially independent compared to 62% of young men, according to a Pew survey.

At the same time, the brand's popularity may have peaked and is "on the way out," teens said in the firm's annual survey. While Stanley's multi-colored insulated cups still have considerable caché, upper-income teens told Piper Sander that the products could soon see the same fate as skinny jeans. Upper-income male teens surveyed ranked Stanley cups as their fifth-most fashion trend on the way out. Keith told Business Insider the survey's fashion trend question is open-ended, meaning that respondents are not prompted by a list of options. "They really kind of struck gold with these larger, thick cups, with the handle and a straw," Keith told BI.

But, Banks said, “I just kept putting pressure on them.” With the help of an advocate, Banks asked authorities to issue an Ebony Alert, California’s new notification system to inform the public about missing Black youths. Two hours after issuing the Ebony Alert, officers pinged the teen’s phone, allowing them to geolocate the device. She said she has helped a dozen families, including Banks’, demand an Ebony Alert for their missing children. Similar to an Amber Alert, Ebony Alerts are permitted to be displayed on highway signs and billboards. Because officers determine whether to issue the alert, Lee said the cases of missing Black youth are often not met with the same level of urgency.

Some 81% of teens ages 13 through 17 feel pressure that leaves them feeling badly about their game plans, achievements, appearances, social lives, friendships and/or how informed they are about issues, the survey found. Social media makes the pressure worse for most teens, but some said social media can also help lessen it. The survey, which was conducted in fall 2023, found that 27% of teens said they were burned out. (The survey of 1,545 teens ages 13 to 17 had a margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points.)

New York CNN —A bipartisan group of 14 attorneys general from across the country filed lawsuits on Tuesday against TikTok, alleging that the platform has “addicted” young people and harmed their mental health. And last month, 42 state attorneys general called on US Surgeon General Vivek Murthy to require labels on social media apps warning of their potential harm to young users. It also alleges that TikTok “challenges,” viral trends where users try to replicate videos created by others, can encourage dangerous behavior among young users. TikTok previously cooperated with New York authorities to remove subway surfing content, the New York Times reported in January. The lawsuit seeks financial penalties against TikTok, including a requirement that the platform repay any profits it received from ads directed to New York teens or pre-teens.
