  • 17- Do Likes Equal Self Love? | The Pros and Cons of Social Media
    We are the first generation where social media is pretty much all we have ever known. We have been on social media as late as 3rd grade. There have been few memorable moments when social media was not creating a virtual world within our lives. And the social pressures did not lessen by entering this new world. Now, with our eyes constantly viewing everyone's lives more than ever before, comparison and judging have never been easier. Today Jennasea and Stephanie discuss the role social media has had in their lives, and more specifically how it can easily overtake someone's life and mental health.

    Exercising during quarantine is definitely something we all aimed to achieve, but whether or not we have done this is subject to question. Today we are joined by top varsity runners Jack and Max who along with two other running friends have created a system to stay in shape despite their missed outdoor track season. They have also created an instagram account to track their journey while also being strangely comedic along the way. Tune in to also hear the Jack's secret diet before a race.

About WTF is Up with Gen Z

From the publisher's feed

No one really talks about what it's actually like being a teenager. Every teenager is different and manages the life of being kind of still a child and kind of an adult differently. Join us as we interview different teens in our community and explore what it truly is like to be a teen while also being teens ourselves.
