The Ups & Downs of Social Media Use in Teens - S3 E2


Listen Later

Is it all drama or can anything good come from media use? What do teens wish adults knew about social media?

Our 8th grade hosts, Naomi and Zoie, take the lead in their first episode. They interview classmates Sania and Zaara, and all four offer their thoughts about social media and teenagers. The group discusses both the positive and negative aspects of social media, how to use media correctly, and recommendations to both adults and younger kids about media use.
