Title: Behind the Screens: Growing Up in the Social Media Age

This is an interview podcast. 

1. The Intro:

*Sounds of multiple notifications sound*

The first thing that I do when I wake up is check my phone, specifically TikTok or Instagram. As someone who wears glasses before even putting them on when I wake up, I squint to view the content on my phone. Laughter *adds in laughing sounds* comes from my voice as I watch a funny video. This is my routine every morning when I wake up. Yes, I can try to blame it on my siblings taking so long in the bathroom, which is why I use my phone to pass time, but that is not always the case. In this podcast, I will be interviewing Britney Morris, my sister, to hear her views on the negative effect of social media on teenagers. She is currently 21 and spends a lot of time on social media. The main reason I chose her is because she grew up in an era when social media became a big thing. She was a teenager during this time and witnessed early on the effects of social media on young girls.

7. Can you tell me about how something on social media did not make you happy?
8. Is it challenging to disconnect from social media? How does that affect your daily life?
9. What is your favorite social media platform, and why? 
10. Tell me about the strategies you use to maintain a balance between social media and your life.

III. The Outro

As we wrap up our chat with Britney Morris, one thing is clear: social media is a big part of our daily lives since it affects how we view things! Thanks, Britney, for sharing your thoughts with me. And to all of my listeners, take a moment to think about how social media fits into your life. It is a significant part of our daily lives, but it is essential to find a balance. Maybe try taking a short break from social media and see how it goes. The special moments do not always happen online. Until next time, this is Brianna Morris, signing off.
