SGDQ: What Do 11 Years Old Do All Day?

Why do some kids feel more connected on FaceTime than IRL? Since when did recess get cancelled? Do 11-year-olds drink coffee? Fall in love? What even is Roblox — and are Pokémon cards really worth the money?

Eleven is a wild age: you’re old enough to want independence and privacy, but still young enough to be brutally honest about how the world works. So Nayeema goes straight to the source, sitting down with 11-year-olds Sophie and Dilan for an episode that’s equal parts hilarious, wholesome and illuminating. Together they unpack group-chat politics, friend group pressure, what they wish school actually taught them, and the weird stuff kids are texting about right now.

Also: Sophie and Dilan reveal why they care about… taxes?! (Yes, really.)
