"Away" by Mollie Gates
Mollie, CO
"Away" is written against the idea that teens struggling with mental health are solved by prescription pills. The song finds flaws in that message, not only by saying that using medication is a pacifier to make teens stop "crying", but also, that only speaking out, finding help, and talking about it can be the solution. Finding Hope is creating teen activists by helping teens go out to find ways in supporting each other as we go through these hardships, all-the-while telling the world that there is a conversation that needs to be had, and that we are ready for it.
