Zainab sits down with her fellow high school grads to unpack the wild, hilarious, and sometimes overwhelming experience of growing up online. From TikTok trends to toxic group chats, curated feeds to doom scrolling, this episode dives into the real impact social media has had on Gen Z teens — mentally, emotionally, and socially. They get honest about comparison, confidence, cancel culture, influencer pressure, and how social media shaped their friendships and identities during high school.
