“When your parents come and are berating you for using your phone or giving you rules they don’t abide by themselves, it makes following the rules a lot harder,” said one 14-year-old. “Why should I follow it if you’re not even trying a little bit?” nyti.ms/3F8G885

What happens when girls’ self-confidence, which has been shown to drop right around this age, intersects with social media? This is a snapshot of being 13: nyti.ms/3LyY1jY

We wanted to put a face to the alarming headlines about teens and social media — in particular, girls. With their parents’ permission, they each wrote weekly diaries, shared screenshots of text messages, and recorded voice memos about their days (except when they were grounded).

Addi, London and Anna let our reporter @jessicabennett into their lives and phones for a year. At 13, they were legally able to join social media, and their phones were always close at hand. nyti.ms/3LyY1jY

“I just feel like I need my phone, you know?” “This morning I got caught with blush on and I lied and got in trouble.” “Not having social media makes me just as insecure as having it would.” Here’s what it's like to be a 13-year-old girl today. nyti.ms/3LyY1jY

This is what it's like to be a 13-year-old girl today, in a world that can't stop talking about the dire state of your future. nyti.ms/45X33yI

The pandemic exposed “work-life balance” for the lie that it is. Now, a generation of America’s mothers is teetering on the edge. This is their primal scream. nyti.ms/3jgOzSZ

Late last year, as the pandemic inched on, we set up a hotline where working moms could call in and scream, laugh, cry or vent for a solid minute. We called it The Primal Scream Line. And scream they did. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
