The Social Dilemma at 12: Snapchat, Streaks, TikTok and The Pressure to Stay Connected

For Gen Alpha, "everything revolves around social media." So instead of talking about them, we sat down with them.In this episode, we brought together a group of 12-year olds to talk about what social media actually feels like at their age - Snapchat, streaks, TikTok, group chats, pressure, and the constant pull to stay connected. Here is what stuck with us the most: They see the downsides. They understand the risks. And they still want it. We also share what happened in our own home when Snapchat went from innocent fun to something that started changing behavior... And what we did about it.No lectures. No pretending we have it all figured out. Real conversations. With Gen Alpha. In real time.This is Between Us.
