Hello! We are back for season 2 of WTF is Up with Gen Z! For today we are podcasting from our respective homes during quarantine discussing our first reactions to the coronavirus (COOVID-19)— the virus that has forced people far and wide to truly enter the digital era like never before.

Woweee what a topic. Texting. Such a prominent source of communication in the modern age. 

So what is texting? What are those lols and lihs? What is punctuation in texting? Oh, wait... that doesn't exist. 

In this episode of WTF is Up with Generation Z, we discuss all things relating to the text: the language, conveying emotion, platforms for texting, etc.

Also, did I mention we talk about Joe a lot? Who's Joe you may ask? Joe Mama!!! 

Following up with episode 8 where we talk about teen relationships, today we interview Owen, who is a teenager (wow so shocking) who has been in multiple relationships. Today we discuss with Owen his experience with relationships and his opinions on dating as a teenager and the impacts that technology has had on his relationships. Hear about flirting, first dates, and the guys view through lots of laughs and a strange interruption to the episode... 

Keep in mind what you hear today are theories... and nothing more. Today we’re talking theories. Conspiracy theories.

 In honor of Halloween, listen in as we talk about various scary but possibly very real conspiracies.

Relationship or relationshit? 

We've all seen those teen movies full of love, bad acting, and cringy romance, but what really is the truth in the age of texting, facetime calls, DMs and snaps? Today we explore just what dating has come to in 2019 in comparison to other generations, expectations, and more. We also discuss how relationships are even built in a time where face to face means sending weird pictures back and forth over a cell phone. 

You may remember Aaron from our previous episode about grades and class rank, but today is not about Aaron. Today we hear from the other major candidate for valedictorian of our class. Alex is also floating around the 1 or 2 positions for class rank, balancing varsity sports, music, and a heavy load of school with 6 AP classes. Hear from Alex as he expresses his opinions on racial stereotypes, parental pressures, and plans beyond high school. 

When the adults are acting like children, the children sometimes have to step up to make change. Internationally, the subject of climate change, global warming, and the negative human impacts on the Earth are ignored. The scientists who are proving the facts are not being taken seriously by politicians and big business. The political authority is dominated by those who will die before climate change really takes place and as a result, the severity of the future of our planet is being jeopardized. We are the voters of tomorrow, and our voices should be heard. Join us today as we discuss the international youth climate strike that has taken the globe by storm. And, hear from some of the teens that will not be silenced until the earth's cries for help are silenced as well. 

Aaron is new to the public school life, but has already made his mark within his class. With high academic success, Aaron is floating around position one or two for class rank and wants to end his high school career on top. Listen in as we discuss his main competition for first, routines for astounding grades, and balancing school with extracurriculars and a job. 

Want to hear from Aaron's class rank competitor? Listen in to our episode in 2 weeks where we interview the other possible number 1.

It's that time of year again! Back to school! 

As rising Juniors, join us as we talk about our first week impressions of junior year, first day outfits, school renovations, school supplies, and more. 

Peace... Ahhh that goal everyone says they want as they go from stressful day to the next. We all want peace, but we all seem lost trying to find it. Highschooler Alex is a certified reiki practitioner who has achieved a sense of peace through a connection with himself and the energy around him. Using meditation, chakra stones, and more, Alex is able to balance being a full-time high school student, run his own Reiki studio, and work a part-time job. How does he do it while staying sane? Stay tuned to find out.

In a world where connection seems to be at our fingertips, there will always be a disconnect between people who speak different languages. Learning someone's vernacular language can provide a deeper understanding of one another and build a bridge of connection.  Today, Jennasea and Stephanie discuss why they are learning new languages, the methods they use to learn, and the importance of people learning more than just English.

WTF is up with Gen Z is the podcast where hosts Jennasea and Stephanie explore what life is like for teenagers in the digital era. Interviewing teenagers from all different aspects of life, Jennasea and Stephanie find out the pros and cons of life consumed by technology.
