This week on The Learning Network, we asked teenagers to tell us about their favorite musical artists and to weigh in on this year's Grammy Awards. We also asked them if they enjoy long walks around their communities and to share how often they treat themselves to something special.

Thank you to all those who joined the conversation this week, including teenagers from North Hollywood, Calif.; Lubbock High School in Texas; and New York City.
Please note: Student comments have been lightly edited for length, but otherwise appear as they were originally submitted.

Inspired by the Grammy Awards, which took place earlier this month, we asked students to weigh on the results, and more.

They told us about their favorite artists of the year, shared what they loved and loathed about the Grammys, explained what they think makes a great song and debated whether music awards shows still matter today. Here are some of their responses:

My Favorite artist this year has to be Lil Nas X. I think everything he does is incredible. His outfits, his performances, his songs, and how he promotes his new albums and songs on social media. I think it's also very cool to have a queer man create rap music, a part of the music industry that really only has successful straight men. Although Lil Nas X has definitely has caused many people to go on rants on Facebook or Twitter, I think it's important for artists to not play it safe. Not everyone is going to agree with their Art and Lil Nas X knows this and does not let it affect him.

- Vivienne, Glenbard West High School

There have been really good artists that I have listened to this year. However, if I had to choose a favorite it would be Lin-Manuel Miranda and Doja Cat.

Lin-Manuel Miranda is one of my favorites because of all the songs he made or helped make and what he plays in. He made three songs in my favorite movie, "Encanto". He also played the lead role in my favorite musical so far, Hamilton.

I chose Doja Cat because I love her style of music. She makes sure to bring the emotions through while also rapping. There are also good songs for every single one of my different moods.

- Bria, Julia R. Masterman in Philadelphia, PA

During this year so far, my favorite artist at the moment is MF DOOM. Basically, MF DOOM is an old rapper who has sadly passed away due to COVID but left a great legacy to his fans. He was known for his beats and was big in the underground scene, not to mention his hit song "DOOMSDAY" and his album "MADVILLANY" which was himself and Madlib who is a great producer in the industry. Doom has made such an impact on me due to the fact that his songs are always chill but with a lot of rhyming and "spitting bars" which is something I like.

- Saul, California

My favorite artist this year, along with every other year of my life is Taylor Swift. Although I do have other favorite artists, I love Taylor Swift because I grew up listening to her music so I have a bunch of memories connected to her songs. I think my absolutely favorite thing about her music is her lyrics. I am able to connect to her songs and understand what she is saying without her actually needing to say it and they are able to tell stories and describe things in such a creative and beautiful way that I do not hear in other artist's music.

I watched the Grammys this year. I try to watch them every year, I love music and performances. Watching the Grammys has become a tradition in my house, so of course I had to watch as much as I could before I went to bed. I think the performances were great, I loved all of them. I think Silk Sonic and Billie Eilish's performances stood out to me, the songs Silk Sonic performed were really great, and you can't go wrong with Happier Than Ever. Billie's set was really cool, I loved the house and the rain. Overall, the performances were great and from what I saw, there wasn't one I disliked.

- Willa, J.R. Masterman in Philadelphia, PA

I have been an Olivia Rodrigo fan for the past 3 years, so obviously this year at the Grammys I was rooting for her. Not only did she have one of the biggest albums this year, but the relatability in all of her songs, her raw vocals, and the pure talent that she possesses puts her over the top for me. I loved that her performance at the Grammys was sung live, and she didn't need an epic dance break, or an extravagant set. Her voice alone carried her through a performance that justified her win for pop solo performance for her hit song "drivers license."

Although it was exciting to watch Olivia Rodrigo win the best new artist award, I couldn't help but feel disappointed when my favorite band-Glass Animals- wasn't announced as winner. I was lucky enough after a year of waiting to see their concert in mid March: only further cementing my love for the band and their music. Unfortunately, us Glass Animal fans were met with a disappointing reality earlier in the evening when the band announced they wouldn't be able to attend the awards due to a Covid out break, despite the band already being in Vegas. Aside from the disappointment that night, spirits were lifted when seeing Silk Sonic win a much deserved Grammy with their hypnotic music from the past.

Olivia Rodrigo's big win at the Grammy's was inspiring and well deserved. The young, up and coming artist remains humble and grateful for all of her achievements, and is a huge source of inspiration and comfort for many young girls. However, one grievance of this year's Grammy Awards is Taylor Swift walking home empty handed. It is hard to believe that the awards matter when Swift, whose song All Too Well was one of the biggest songs of 2021, once again was snubbed by the Recording Academy.

I do believe that the Grammys have issues when it comes to music that Artists of color have released. A few years back Tyler, The Creator won the Grammy for Best Rap Album with his project "Igor". What bothers me is that Igor is not a rap album, it is far from one. He blends so many genres on Igor and it is disrespectful that he was put in the Rap Album category. He even criticized the Grammys over this issue.

- Nick, Glenbard West High School

When I listen to music, I usually pay attention to the lyrics because I listen to a lot of good lyricists like J. Cole, Kanye West, Lauryn Hill, Kendrick Lamar, 2Pac, SZA, and many other artists. I love songs that have deeper lyrics or lyrics than I can relate to. I'm also really big on music so whenever I find a song with deep lyrics then I automatically love the song.

When evaluating music, I don't really listen to the lyrics, but the quality of the music itself. If it can stick in my head or make me feel a certain way every time I listen to it, it's good music. Along with the music, I also listen to the instruments used. I tend to like music with piano more than other instruments, which leads me to like songs like "Rocket Man". Sometimes, I also like rock and roll, but it depends on the factors I listed above.

When I listen to a song, I want it to be clean, have a nice beat, and make me feel good. The questions that I ask myself about songs are if it is well put together, does it send a good message, and is it a song that I would want to play on repeat...What I find that all of these songs have in common is that they make me feel invincible, and they give me a great feeling.

We all have those songs that we wish we could turn back time and hear if it for the first time again. And that's because those songs are ones that we could relate to, that make us feel something and reflect. In my eyes, that is what makes a strong piece of music.

The Grammys recognize the musicians for their outstanding work in the music industry. I feel that the Grammys are very important and that musicians deserve the chance to be awarded the Grammy award for how hard they've worked and how much their music is enjoyed by other people. I feel that the awards are chosen carefully since the Grammys are determined by the artists', musicians', songwriters', and producers' peers. I feel that it's fair for everyone and whomever wins is well deserving.

- Madison, Loveland High

I don't think that Grammy Awards matter because it just depends on the music that you listen to and like. The Grammys is overrated in my opinion. I don't think that they represent the best music. I think that rating music is like rating art, it can be subjective. One person might think that the song is bad and others might think it is good. It is subjective because music taste is different for each and every person.

Each year there is an endless supply of music from artists new and old and it becomes increasingly impossible to listen to everything. So the Grammys become a sort of popularity contest in which only a handful of the same artists are nominated and only a few new talents entering the group. There is a whole ocean of unrecognized talent out there that not many people have heard of but deserve the same amount of praise mainstream artists do.

- Mycah, Metro Heights Academy

As a passionate music fan who has listened to thousands of albums in my lifetime, I am eager to find the most inventive yet enjoyable music. That is why I view the Grammys as underwhelming. Their main issue is that they encapsulate uproar due to popularity rather than delving into the outstanding records that change music. A valid example is 1991, one of the greatest years in music history when alternative rock took the world by storm. But records such as Loveless by My Bloody Valentine, Ten by Pearl Jam, or Nevermind by Nirvana, the titans that we remember today for lasting impacts that are hard to overstate, had no awards, for album of the year went to "Unforgettable... With Love" by Natalie Cole, a record that, among music fans and historians alike, is forgettable. This is not the only year that this occurred because almost every year that a record wins it fails to stand the test of time.

In " This Pair Walked Every Inch of Peoria," Mitch Smith writes about two women who, over the course of 170 walks together during the pandemic, walked about 1,247 miles, covering every street in their town.

So we asked students to share their experiences of talking long walks. Many wrote about starting a habit of walking during the pandemic, and the benefits they've found, including discovering little-seen corners of the places in which they live.

Taking long walks is my therapy. I clung to this habit at the beginning of the pandemic and have stuck with it ever since. Although I have allowed less time to engage in the walks I commonly took during the peak of the pandemic, I still make time for them a couple of times a week. Usually, with the company of my dog Leo, we follow our usual path down the green and leafy streets of my neighborhood. We go over the bridge and feel the afternoon breeze on our faces and through our hair. After about a mile, we reach our secret spot: the makeup spot. Here is where I make up scenarios or reflect on my life as a whole. If I was bored, stressed, sad, angry, or just needed an excuse to escape my house, I would find myself here. Often with my headphones in and playing my favorite songs, I relax on the rocks that lay with the perfect ratio of half in the bay and half dry. I would often stay here for up to an hour at most before I continue walking. Walking with friends is also enjoyable for me, but I wouldn't take it over my walks with Leo. I take my walks as a time to get away from reality, and Leo is the best at helping me do so.

- Scarlett, Miami Country Day School

Throughout my life, my father took me for a walk in the park for one hour every morning because it is good for my health and reduces my anxiety. I enjoy taking a long walk in the forest or walking around in the community. I like both walking alone and with friends having time for pleasure; it is an easy way to experience nature, get a good breath of fresh air and take a break from overthinking the future ... While walking along with friends, we tease each other, talk about work and education, take photos, and give suggestions on difficulties, so it is an ineffable pleasure and has many benefits for me, decreasing stress and focusing on myself to understand my emotions.

Especially in times of stress, walking can not only calm you down, but allow you to put your mind on nature. During the pandemic I also explored parts of my area that I had never been before. It surprised me how therapeutic it was to listen to nature, or my music, and get out of my house after being stuck inside for so long. I tried to be active and new and creative ways, and walking was one of them. I never thought my friends and I would take up walking, but it became a daily occurrence. We enjoyed therapeutic conversations and getting exercise in. It became a break in days full of nothingness. As life went back to normal, I started to go on walks less and go back to my normal sports practices, and school routines. While the weather is getting nicer I want to make it a priority to go on walks more, and enjoy the simple things around my neighborhood.

- Carolyn, Glenbard West High School

I love long walks. During quarantine I started to go on long walks because I had nothing better to do with my day and needed to get outside ... Beyond that long walks gave me a chance to reset my mental head space and take time to myself to enjoy my own company. When it's warm out I love to take my dog on long walks- enjoying the sunshine and getting to listen to my music. I think long walks are a very good way for people to give them an active meditation while getting to enjoy nature.

- Kendell, Meyer

I love enjoying long walks when the weather is nice. I feel relaxed and fresh when I walk by myself or with someone. Music and taking long walks is very therapeutic when you're having a bad day or just want to calm yourself down.

- Marisol, NM

When I was living in the Dominican Republic I had no reason to take a walk and explore but there were a few occasions that I explored the neighborhood a bit. Now that I live in New York I had to explore and go to many places by myself. I learned to take the train and metro because I need to move. That allowed me to know many interesting places because I can go almost anywhere. Also I have a scooter that I use to go to work, in my way to work I can explore the neighborhood and see the changes of stations, when it was fall I saw a super beautiful tree that had red and yellow leaves, in the halloween season i was able to see the houses decorated with pumpkins and more, even in Christmas I saw beautiful decorations.

- Gabriel-SW, New York

When the weather's nice, I like to take a walk with my best friend: my dog, Oliver ... I don't live in the kind of neighborhood where people talk to each other and everyone knows everyone, so it's on our walks that I notice things about the people that live on my street. The people three houses down just bought a Tesla. The house across from me, five houses down, has a German Shepherd who is almost always outside. We walk to the stop sign at the end of the road (that most people ignore) and loop back to our house. Something about the wind lightly blowing through my hair (and my dog's fur) is comforting, and I wish those walks could last forever.

- Elizabeth, Pittsburgh, PA

I would take up the challenge to walk "every road, avenue, terrace, boulevard and cul-de-sac" in my community because I feel that through walking in isolation, I noticed the simple joys that I overlook in the hustle of daily life. As I walked alone during the pandemic, I grew a sense of the "nakedness" of my town; without anyone in the streets, I was able to appreciate the bones of my community and its undisturbed beauty. I was shocked that by even doing something as simple as walking, I was able to intertwine myself with nature and my community to better understand where I come from and how that has affected my identity. Through walking, I was given a better sense of belonging and a spiritual-like connection to the nature and landmarks of my town. Similar to the article, although I was able to gain appreciation, I also gained a sense of the burdens in my community. For example, I walked by the hill that is home to the memorial of my friend who was killed in a car accident in 2020 and re-lived that pain. Although exploring my community incited mixed emotions, it provided me with an obligation to my community, leading to me being involved in protecting and advocating in my community as the pandemic comes to an end.

When the pandemic hit I was not satisfied with how I looked so I made a promise to myself to try to hit cardio every day to hopefully lose weight. Even though my main goal was to lose weight I slowly started liking taking long walks because it distracted me from all the problems that were happening in my life during that time and was a good way to relax and just, in general, think about life. After 3 months or so I was able to lose a lot of weight and pack some lean muscle satisfied with my results I soon started to have a hobby of working out.

Many people spend the majority of their day cooped up inside sitting at a desk, away from sunshine and fresh air. Their joints get achy from so little movement, the fluorescent lighting of offices and schools does not provide sufficient vitamin D, and their eyes get strained from focusing on screens all day. It is understandable to just want to go home and relax but it feels so much better to pass a little time outside. Pop in some headphones, listen to your favorite music, and enjoy the sights of your neighborhood. Stretch out your achy back, take in the fresh air and sunshine, for 30 minutes and suddenly you feel much better. Blood flow increases, vitamin-d increases and blood sugar decreases. Scientific research has actually shown that walking every day is a mood enhancer and an energy booster, so though it may sound counterintuitive, at the end of an exhausting day taking a walk may actually give you the boost you need.

Self-care is a common form of "treat culture." Credit... Jiayi Li

In the pandemic era, "treat culture" has gained traction as many people have come to appreciate and depend on small comforts. In " Yes, You Do Deserve a Little Treat," Julia Carmel writes about the practice of "making time for simple joys" - from daily relaxation rituals to little rewards.

The article prompted us to ask students what they think about treats. They discussed how treating oneself can be an important act of self-care, whether it is possible to do it too much, and how to find self-rewards that don't cost money.

I think treating yourself is a big part in helping your stress. It could even be as little as taking a ten minute break in between homework or even buying yourself your favorite drink or food. I feel like its very important to treat yourself frequently even if it's the smallest thing. I love to have spa nights or buy myself Starbucks at the end of a long work shift or school day. I also like going for drives with my friends it just helps me forget all the stress I have.

- Abigail, Norwood

When I'm under stress or am usually not in the right state of mind I usually tend to treat myself to things I don't really do on the usual. After a hard and complicated day I put my favorite playlist, get the bathtub ready for a nice warm bath, and any materials needed to relax. After all of that I go to the store and buy any snacks I have been crazing and treat myself to any special deals the store has.

- Esmeralda, New Mexico

Hot baths. Candles. Eating heaps of chocolate cake. Face masks. Shopping. Bath bombs. to Taylor Swift. Meditation. This list only represents half of my many forms of self-care that I practice regularly. I definitely don't shy away from treating myself and I will never change my routine. Not only does it make my skin glow, but it also makes my mental health glow. Typically when I get overwhelmed, whether it stems from school, sports or relationships, nothing improves my mind like a brain break. Life has ups and certainly its downs and recognizing that is important. Taking the time to relax and time to unwind only prepares yourself for the future. I think that the act of treating yourself has a negative connotation. It can be seen as selfish and unnecessary. However, I believe that if you are not being kind to yourself and do not reach that feeling of contentment, it is impossible to help others. I know that if I want to be a positive attribute in someone's life, then I must take the time to be the best version of myself, which depends on self-care.

- Brooke, Glen Ellyn, Illinois

In the sea of deadlines, stress, and discomfort that the last couple of years has brought the world, treating and taking care of yourself is essential for mental health. Even though that doesn't sound like a hard task to most people. But the thought of the stress-inducing things in everyday life has a way of pulling people back in and then not giving people enough time to even recharge and prepare for the next workload. So I'd say that taking care of yourself is a skill that not all possess. Although the last couple of years has been not ideal for a lot of people as far as taking care of themselves, it's also paved a way for a lot more people to get the relaxation they need whilst also holding down these stress inducers. Me included. I used to be a C student with lots of anxiety directed towards sports, school, and home life. But the pandemic gave me a breather and space to clear my head as well as a new challenge to face and adjust my life to, and even though my stress has not completely vanished I've learned to manage it by giving myself time for my own tiny wins.

I think that treating yourself to something nice once in a while is great for mental health and your general well being, but people should limit the extent to how much they treat themselves. I'm sure that most people have heard somewhere at some point that the feeling of happiness and comfortability generally comes from dopamine being released from the brain. However, people might not understand the full context that comes with it. Having too much of dopamine too frequently might leave you constantly looking for things to help you reach that point once again, which may lead to unnecessary spending, carelessness, lack of attentiveness, and so on. By limiting how much you treat yourself, you keep your mind from always wanting more, even though that's basically how our brains are engineered, it can still be worked against.

I feel like taking a day or time out of your day to do something for yourself is important to decrease the amount of stress you have. But if you constantly think only about treating yourself, [y]ou're not going to get anything worthwhile done. The point is to get what you need to do finished first then relax.

- Jack, Norwood High School

Many think that limiting the amount of times you treat yourself is a form of motivation to get through life, as it gives you something to look forward to. I beg to differ, because I feel like I treat myself when I can instead of when I should. Assigning special treatments to specific problems that you can only receive after solving those issues seems a bit unhealthy. If you were to be faced with a problem that is not easy to resolve, you begin to lose faith in ever receiving that treat. Life is hard. We all deserve good in life without having to prove ourselves.

- Lena, Glenbard West High School

Students perish every day into the same 8 classrooms: testing, speaking, writing, and sometimes even sleeping. So, when we decide to treat ourselves, we like to "go all out." However, there is one crucial thing hindering these desires: money and the sad truth is that students don't have a lot of it. Rather than treating ourselves with glamorous and expensive Louis Vuitton bags like Madison Butler, we have developed the ability to find cheap treats that supply us with the same dopamine rush as an expensive one! For those of you seeking an inexpensive treat, here's my go-to and cheap personal favorite treat- playing basketball at a local park. Firstly, it's completely free; plus, it gives you the chance to engage in some physical activity. For those that don't enjoy sports as much, I would recommend going to a local museum or simply watching your favorite show on Netflix.

[I] always find myself wondering where the line stands between treating yourself and doing damage to your bank account. For example, trips to Starbucks for overpriced drinks with some friends after school have recently become the norm. Does this count as treating myself? Or is this just another purchase I make that could be going somewhere else? My answer to these questions changes daily. However, on the off chance that I do purposely decide to flatter myself, I appreciate clean sheets, a comfy bathrobe, some tea by my side, and a book in hand on a rainy Sunday evening. Music (specifically Taylor Swift's folklore album and Gracie Abrams' This Is What It Feels Like ep) calms me down and makes me happy...
