Nevin Scully performs a brief original music piece and then speaks candidly about the painful experience of being young, medicated without consent, and not being heard when asking for help.

[01:02:15] All right, yeah, that’s like a little snippet of my life.

[01:02:30] Just being young and kind of being forced on, like, medication, Adderall, and stuff like that.

[01:02:37] Just, like, asking people for help.

[01:02:39] Like, I don’t feel good.

[01:02:41] Something’s wrong, and they just not listen.

[01:02:45] Right?

[01:02:47] And I get emotional thinking about it, talking about it.

[01:02:51] And again, I wanted to come up here and perform and all that, but I’m just a little anxious about it.
