episode 131: An Unfiltered Look at Thirteen
Being thirteen today is a pretty different experience than when we were thirteen. But there is one important similarity. Thirteen is when kids usually get their first taste of freedom. Dr. Becky is joined by journalist Jessica Bennett, teenager London, and her mother Dekeda to talk about what it's like being a thirteen-year-old girl today and what it's like to parent one in this age of phones and social media.
