0:00

you ever wonder what's on the mind of

0:02

a teen? Like actually wonder what's

0:04

on the mind of a teen? I

0:06

do. Sometimes I know that can be a little

0:08

scary, especially as a parent on the go,

0:11

lucky for all of you, I

0:13

found two teens who were willing to talk to me longer

0:15

than five minutes We

0:43

have Glenn and Isabella

0:45

from their teen up podcasts

0:48

straight out of Taiwan,

0:51

welcome to the show.

0:53

Thank you. Thank you for having us here.

0:56

I just want to say, I like to do my flower segment early.

0:59

I've listened to their podcasts. The two of them

1:01

are very well informed, very well-spoken

1:03

great ideas very very

1:05

great chemistry that they have during

1:07

their talks. And it's very intriguing and interesting.

1:09

I'm going to ask the scary questions to the teens,

1:12

to see if the teens can give us parents some answers

1:14

and some guidance to help you guys out along the way.

1:16

So do you think social media

1:19

helps make or maintain friendships?

1:22

Why or why not? And there is no

1:24

wrong and I wanted to let you know, there is no right

1:26

or wrong answer. Just, I love

1:28

to hear perspective.

1:29

Yeah. I'll go first. So I think

1:32

social media, it

1:34

does help make friends like right

1:36

now, I'm a senior and I'm going to college

1:38

soon and I'm going

1:40

to college in America. So I'm making

1:43

a lot of friends through social media with

1:45

my college friends. But I don't

1:47

think that these friendships are

1:50

honestly like verry true

1:53

or very deep because I'm

1:55

talking to a lot of different people on social

1:58

media and I don't, I honestly

2:00

don't remember like what they look like

2:02

or what we talked about. So

2:04

I think on that part, it's great to connect

2:06

with people from all over the world like

2:09

that, but does it make

2:11

like good and deep friendships?

2:13

I think Actual meetups, like person

2:16

to person is, would be better. And

2:18

the part about maintaining friendships.

2:22

I think it does help. If we don't

2:24

have social media, I don't think that we would

2:26

like right now we would call anyone

2:29

to, do like a meetup or anything. Social

2:31

media is there to help us know like

2:33

how's other people's life doing. And

2:36

we could, like for Instagram example,

2:38

we could reply to someone's stories.

2:40

And I think that is super helpful when you want

2:42

to maintain a friendship. Even if it's like a

2:45

elementary. Schoolfriend it's

2:47

been a long time. You haven't talked, but through

2:49

replying like stories, I think that is not

2:52

very awkward and it is a great way to

2:54

catch up with each other

2:57

Same as Isabella. I'm going to the us for

2:59

college this fall, and

3:02

I'm also like meeting a lot of people on. Internet

3:05

through Instagram or Snapchat,

3:07

just like talking to other people.

3:09

And I have to say I have

3:11

met some very interesting

3:13

people that some people who I

3:16

really click with, but I think

3:18

the main thing about social media

3:20

for me is that social media

3:22

is for making friends that you will

3:25

have a real life

3:27

interaction with instead of just

3:29

like the whole friendship only exists

3:32

on social media or online. And

3:34

I think it's very important that friendships or

3:37

relationships in general, like with people

3:40

need to exist in the physical

3:42

world, because there are a lot of

3:44

things that you cannot substitute

3:47

online like eye contact or some.

3:50

body language or stuff like that. And

3:52

I think they, they are very important in

3:55

terms of making friends or having

3:57

a conversation with other people. And as

3:59

far as maintaining friendships, I

4:01

would say it definitely helps. But

4:03

if this is where I have a different opinion

4:06

from Isabella it's like Isabella was

4:08

saying that how you can still connect

4:10

with. Of in the past, like

4:12

elementary school something like that. But

4:15

for me, I think those people if

4:17

you will not meet them anymore,

4:20

say you'll only meet

4:22

them. Maybe in five years,

4:25

I don't really see a point of connecting

4:28

with them or knowing what's happening in their

4:30

life because they're not

4:32

in your life anymore. Keeping

4:35

up this type of relationship or like this

4:37

type of friendship, I think it's very

4:39

time consuming and it doesn't really make

4:41

sense to me at least. Cause you

4:43

will not have a real

4:46

world like meetup or something like

4:48

that.

4:49

Thank you to both of you very strong answers.

4:51

And I'm going to play in the

4:53

middle, as a teacher, right? I'm like the moderator right

4:56

in the middle. I agree with you both the importance

4:58

of eye contact, body language

5:00

using social media as a way to

5:02

start the connection. But not allow that to be

5:04

the only connection is what I'm hearing from

5:06

both of you. And also. sometimes

5:09

you have some people in your life that you just want to check up

5:11

on to see how they're doing and how things

5:13

are going. For example us older people

5:16

use Facebook, right?

5:19

And we have some high school friends that we may have lost

5:21

touch with. We reconnect and it's nice

5:23

to see what they're doing in their lives and things like that.

5:26

On the flip side, I do agree with Glenn

5:29

there's a limit to how much of

5:31

that you should be doing. You

5:33

can check in, it shouldn't be no

5:36

on your phone. Like looking oh, what are they doing now?

5:38

What's the next move? What's the next move. What's the next move? And

5:40

I think even though we

5:43

need to check in on them, see how they're doing. I

5:45

think there should be a time

5:47

of okay, I still have to continue with my life.

5:49

They can't be my life when. Everyone else is doing

5:51

so I do both answers. I love both answers

5:53

and I actually have some students who feel the same way as

5:55

well. What I want to ask you is what has been the most

5:57

challenging part of your life? Like after

5:59

the pandemic as a team what's been the most challenging

6:02

problem?

6:02

pandemic We, yeah, we do have it.

6:05

Here in Taiwan. Like we

6:07

experienced like the seriousness

6:09

of the pandemic around last year

6:12

where we went online for

6:14

a little bit. And then during the summer we couldn't

6:16

really go out and

6:19

right now, actually it's getting also

6:21

a little bit serious, like next week

6:23

we're doing online school. I think most

6:26

challenging part of my life right

6:28

now. I wouldn't say about like

6:30

maintaining friendships. I think like

6:32

online school for me is really hard for me

6:35

to focus, but I don't

6:37

think that really matters now because we're ending our

6:39

senior year soon next week as the last

6:41

week. So

6:43

I have senioritis just say it. I have seen, yeah, it is.

6:45

Yes. Yes. I

6:48

think the pandemic, like I like going

6:50

out sometimes I don't go out like very

6:52

often, but I don't like how I have to

6:55

actually think about where I'm going, because

6:57

there might be too many people or

6:59

I can't go on public transportations

7:01

and stuff like that. Yeah.

7:02

For me the pandemic, I

7:04

know it's like a very privileged thing to say.

7:07

It has never been like a very

7:09

challenging part of our life. And

7:12

I think that's because we were very lucky that our country

7:14

controlled it. Great. But as

7:17

for now, what I'm thinking a lot

7:19

is what's going to happen this fall or in

7:21

the future. And

7:24

it's not necessarily like the most challenging

7:26

part of my life, like

7:28

right now, because it's not happening

7:30

yet. It's just not the sense of not

7:33

being sure what's going to happen in the future because

7:35

we are both moving to a new country

7:38

and we do not know anyone there

7:40

and everything's going to be different and

7:42

starting a new life at the same time.

7:44

And just learning to be an adult at

7:48

the same time. Like it's nerve wracking.

7:51

Yeah, I think that's like the most challenging

7:54

part for me

7:56

now.

7:58

I agree.

7:58

Yeah. You know what

8:00

I appreciate that both of you stated

8:02

that, it wasn't really you didn't really feel

8:05

it as much because you felt like your country

8:07

handle it correctly. And I appreciate that because

8:09

over here, I'm gonna be honest it was a mess. What

8:12

do you think makes your generation unique I

8:15

want to hear your take on it unique

8:18

from let's say my generation or

8:20

know, or even a group, like a few years younger

8:22

than you what makes your generation you need?

8:24

I would like to add this is like how tick-tock.

8:27

Oh, my gosh, Tik TOK. Yes. Take talk makes

8:29

it feel like Denzy is just like

8:32

a lot of mental health issues

8:34

children or kids, but I

8:36

think it's not like it's a bad thing.

8:38

Because like

8:41

for our generation, our parents are more,

8:43

I would say more hardcore, at least

8:45

from my parents. Oh, a lot of people,

8:47

my parents' age in Taiwan,

8:50

they had to build their

8:52

own business or start from

8:54

a very low status in society.

8:57

And they had to work their own way

8:59

up in society. So there are definitely

9:01

going to be a little bit more hardcore on their

9:03

children. Like my parents always

9:06

tell me to. Work

9:08

hard and don't be lazy and make sure

9:10

that I do the work that I'm supposed

9:12

to. And don't take the easy route or

9:15

anything like that. But I think this

9:17

kind of, it does

9:20

make. Our generation a little

9:22

bit, feeling a little bit misunderstood

9:25

because our parents don't know what we're going through.

9:27

And they would sometimes say that our

9:29

generation has it easier than they did.

9:31

I do think that is true, but

9:34

a lot of mental health issues, I

9:36

think. I said

9:38

to be like, have stemmed from technology,

9:41

because of, like cyber bullying or stuff

9:43

like that. And too much time spent

9:45

on Tik TOK, for sure. Tik TOK is a very

9:48

toxic platform, but it also could

9:50

be very fun at the same time. Yeah, I

9:52

think all of these added together

9:54

it makes us who we are.

9:56

For me, I'm also thinking about like the internet

9:59

in general. I think for

10:01

us, we don't really have

10:03

the internet when we are super young, maybe

10:05

before we were 12 or something

10:07

like that the internet just grows exponentially

10:10

after that. In the recent

10:12

years, like Instagram popped up

10:14

and then we have like tik tok and

10:17

YouTube also grew a ton because

10:20

you, it used to be just like a platform

10:22

where people share videos.

10:25

So like maybe my dad would like, show me a funny

10:27

video or something like that. And

10:29

now YouTube, they're like a lot of YouTubers,

10:32

people making contents, like what, like

10:34

us. And I think we

10:36

didn't have that when we were. Younger,

10:39

but for people who are younger than us,

10:42

they have this since

10:45

probably since they have memory and

10:48

I'm not sure, what that's going to do to them

10:50

because they're using tik tok since

10:53

they have like memory, since they can actually

10:55

choose something for themselves. And I think

10:57

where we're at right now is Interesting

11:00

intersection where we when

11:02

we were like very young, we did not have

11:04

an Instagram or like YouTube,

11:07

but now we're in like

11:09

our twenties and

11:12

not now, but like when we're in our twenties,

11:15

we will have all of these technologies

11:17

and this is what I think makes us

11:19

different, like from other generations, because

11:22

we. Grew up,

11:24

with the internet we grew up as

11:26

the internet grew. So I think that's

11:28

like the most interesting

11:31

thing

11:31

How do you feel after

11:33

consuming information in seven

11:36

seconds and then right after

11:39

consuming another piece of information in seven seconds

11:41

without really having time to process it,

11:43

it's just there.

11:45

So for me, because I'm

11:47

a little different and I acknowledge that.

11:51

I don't really use any social media.

11:54

I actually quit Instagram last year

11:56

because I think it's taking too much of my time.

11:59

I'm basically on it all the time. And

12:01

then during the time when

12:04

we locked down, which is like may last

12:06

year, I was on Tik TOK

12:08

all the time. Like it's at the point

12:11

where I think it's scary, cause I would

12:13

just lay on my bed and then

12:15

open tik tok and before

12:18

I even noticed an hour has

12:20

gone by and it's like a super scary,

12:23

I would just spend the whole afternoon looking

12:25

at Tik Tok so I

12:28

just deleted the app. And I

12:31

think for what you're saying, how do we feel

12:33

after consuming an information

12:36

after seven seconds and then, and that

12:38

next thing just come. I think

12:40

it, it really doesn't leave time

12:42

for people to think about things. And

12:45

I wouldn't like me personally,

12:47

I would prefer to learn things or

12:50

consume information

12:52

in longer forms, say

12:55

movies or books. That's what

12:57

I prefer for it now. And

12:59

I think social media and their

13:02

algorithms, like they're really toxic.

13:04

But they sometimes

13:06

they're also really fun. So for me,

13:08

it's like, when I want to use it,

13:10

I would like download the app and use it for

13:12

a day and then delete it. Yeah, I know I can

13:15

contain it. So it's not. My

13:17

whole week away.

13:19

For me I don't know. I actually

13:21

stopped using, TIk Tok for about

13:24

a week. Like I don't, I'm not on it

13:26

very often right now. But I was

13:28

on it like all the time and.

13:31

I think the seven second thing

13:34

it's it has shortened,

13:36

like my attention span,

13:39

for sure. I have realized

13:41

I could not stay as focused in class

13:44

or I can't even finish one

13:46

YouTube video. the YouTube video has

13:48

to be about five minutes for me to finish

13:50

it. If it's more than 20 minutes, I would

13:52

have to like open it and then watch it for three

13:54

minutes and then stop and then come back

13:56

to it. After a while. I don't, I, yeah,

13:58

I think that is a bad thing. And

14:00

I honestly don't remember much of

14:03

what I watched on Tik TOK.

14:05

Yeah, I think it's very toxic and

14:07

I should definitely cut my time on

14:10

Tik TOK. But

14:13

sometimes it's just a fun, like

14:15

I send a lot of like funny tik tok

14:17

to my friend and it's just like for a good laugh.

14:20

And I think that is a very

14:22

good thing because I could

14:24

just, I could also talk about

14:26

it with my friends and some of the Tik Tok that

14:28

I watch are like informational. They,

14:30

would tell me some facts, like

14:33

for the day or something. And it would

14:35

just be a fun facts for our friends

14:37

too. But I think that's the

14:39

only good part that I've been from

14:41

it really, otherwise,

14:43

I don't like how it shortened my

14:46

attention span for sure.

14:48

Wait I want to add something. So one

14:51

thing good about tik tok that

14:54

I recently noticed is

14:56

that there are some very good musicians on

14:58

Tik TOK, and I think we should

15:00

give, take talk that It lets a lot of

15:03

really talented people to be discovered. And

15:06

I think that's a good thing.

15:07

Yeah, I agree. This one. I super agree.

subscribed today. The star

16:02

fleet leadership.

16:06

What is something you wish adults understood

16:08

about kids or teens today?

16:10

I think for me is that they

16:12

adults need to know that we

16:14

are B can do more than

16:16

they think. I think like in general, Maybe

16:20

it's like a culture thing, because I think in

16:22

our culture they tend to set a

16:24

path for everyone to go

16:26

through instead of letting us explore

16:29

our own path. It's not, it does not necessarily

16:31

apply to my parents very

16:34

likely. But I think. The way

16:36

our school works it's

16:38

that they set a path where everyone,

16:40

and they did not give us any freedom

16:42

to explore different things.

16:45

And I think that's very, that's

16:48

a very sad thing because.

16:53

One thing that I think is very important

16:55

is to, as far as to learn responsibility,

16:58

and I think what the school,

17:01

or like the whole system is doing

17:03

is not letting us to learn responsibility

17:05

enough because they are doing

17:08

everything for us. They're planning out our time.

17:10

I think it's very important to just let

17:12

us know the consequences. Let us know that

17:15

actions leads to consequences and

17:17

we need to. Be able to handle the consequences

17:19

ourselves or think

17:21

before we act. And I

17:23

think that's like the that's,

17:26

that should be like the biggest lesson

17:28

the school teach us, or

17:31

just because it's very important in

17:33

life and it applies to any

17:36

stage in life, in my opinion.

17:40

Yeah, I agree with what Glenn says.

17:42

And I also want to add that this is a little

17:44

bit like towards my parents. I think

17:47

it's to give

17:49

us time,

17:51

like sometimes. We

17:53

can't rush the things that

17:56

we want to do, or we can't rush

17:58

we need to take time to maybe understand

18:00

a situation or take

18:02

the time to understand how to do something.

18:05

I think it's also a cultural thing how

18:07

parents are a little bit. Controlling

18:10

sometimes. I think they should just

18:12

give us the time to understand it ourselves

18:15

and try to also,

18:18

yeah. Give us the freedom to do ourselves

18:20

instead of telling us to do what,

18:22

like right now, or you

18:25

should. Or sometimes

18:27

they would say why are you so afraid of

18:29

this situation? It's nothing to be afraid

18:31

of. Just go do it. But sometimes

18:34

it's really important for us to take

18:36

in like the surrounding and understanding

18:39

there what situation we're put

18:41

in order to process anything.

18:43

Instead of just pushing us and cramming

18:45

information into us, My mom is

18:47

a little bit like, it's not a totally

18:50

bad thing. It's yeah she's just a little bit

18:52

controlling sometimes and

18:55

I think, be

18:57

able to see, give me the freedom and time to

18:59

do the things that I want. But it's

19:01

not like I'm saying she stops

19:03

me from anything that I want. It's just, it has,

19:05

I have to go through a lot of persuasion,

19:07

a lot of conversations to be

19:09

able to reach the point that

19:12

we both are in agreement.

19:14

And I think that

19:16

also. Maybe, yeah, maybe

19:19

it's also a cultural thing. Like they're a little bit

19:21

like more traditional. It's hard

19:23

for them to sometimes accept

19:26

our point of views or

19:28

they would think that we're not mature enough

19:30

because of the, like the

19:32

way we act or the way we think. They

19:36

have to understand that where we're

19:38

also like growing up and

19:42

it's sometimes okay.

19:44

To let go and let us try things out.

19:48

So what I'm understanding

19:50

is that your mom does

19:53

give you pushback, but the she also allows you

19:55

space. Half conversation,

19:57

they have a little sense of persuasion. She allows

19:59

you the space to to help her with her

20:02

understanding of you. And then there are at times

20:04

that it works and then sometimes it does. Yeah.

20:06

But at least, yeah. At least she gives you that space,

20:08

which is very important. Very important because this

20:11

culture is over here. That, it's

20:13

what I say, this is what you're doing. And then that's it.

20:15

There's no conversation. There's no persuasion.

20:18

In that process you've worked on, you've

20:20

worked on your communication skills, right? You've

20:23

worked on problem solving. And you've also worked

20:25

on the audit persuasion, which is something that, is

20:27

key. I made it, it sounds funny, but it's key,

20:29

right? Sometimes you just have to, you

20:33

have to help people see your side,

20:35

just for understanding, just for a fresh perspective.

20:38

That's something I think we do not enough

20:40

of it's always this is my side

20:42

and this it. And I

20:44

don't care what you have to think about. Okay. What you got to say,

20:46

but it leaves no room for conversation and nobody

20:48

can grow from that. Her giving you that is

20:51

I love to hear things like that. So thank you. Sorry.

20:53

My teacher brain came on.

20:55

No, it's

20:57

okay. Glenn, what you got from me?

20:58

It's going to be sound a bit weird. I think

21:02

for me, okay. With anything.

21:04

Cause my, at

21:07

least like at this point in my life,

21:09

I'm just thinking that everything will work out

21:11

for the best and that

21:13

I'm, I don't mean to offend anyone I'm not

21:16

religious or anything, but I feel like it's

21:18

not like necessarily God, but like the world

21:20

works in its own mysterious way

21:22

that whatever comes next, I'll just deal

21:24

with. So I wouldn't

21:27

say anything bad

21:29

about my parents, because I think it

21:31

is what it is. And I can't really change,

21:34

obviously I can't change my parents.

21:36

So I can't say, oh, I'm

21:39

done. I want a different parent. No,

21:41

I can't do that. So I

21:43

guess it's just it's just like how you do

21:46

things with anyone actually just like conversation

21:49

and.

21:50

And I can't change who you are, but I can

21:52

gain my outlook of you. Yeah.

21:55

Yeah. It sounds like you, you're a person

21:57

who rides the wave. We call them the

22:00

Carmen. You ride the wave, what's going on.

22:02

You handle things as they come along. You never really

22:04

up or down just stay as even as possible.

22:06

And that's what that sounds like. Am I getting it right

22:08

here?

22:09

Yeah. Yeah,

22:10

definitely. It's not weird. You're not

22:12

weird. It doesn't sound weird. It's

22:14

your perspective. And that's awesome

22:17

to have seen the positive

22:20

outlook on things, knowing

22:22

and accepting that things will change and

22:24

that you will eventually grow from it and have to

22:26

move on. There's nothing wrong with that at all. So

22:30

your take is just as great as Isabella

22:33

all no, that let's see here. Let's see what

22:35

what is something that bothers you about school?

22:37

I was just asked that anything that bother you about school,

22:40

like teachers, what teachers can do

22:43

their perspective, their take, how they handle certain

22:45

situations.

22:49

I think, school is almost done. Yeah.

22:55

I guess teachers our teachers

22:57

could, I

23:00

don't know, like I,

23:04

okay. When students don't

23:06

do the things that teachers

23:09

expect them to do, I

23:12

don't think it is necessarily

23:15

the best way to just get. Because

23:18

if we don't know what, where your

23:20

expectation is set, we,

23:23

how are we supposed to do

23:25

things the way that you expect us to do?

23:27

So I think if it's better to

23:30

communicate or like

23:32

what the teacher is expecting from students

23:34

or for students to ask more questions

23:36

about what they are, they

23:39

want us to.

23:43

Yeah, that's a priority, right? That's more important.

23:45

So how can I live up to

23:47

your expectations if I don't know your expectations,

23:49

you expect me to do something and be a certain

23:51

way, but you tell me. Yeah.

23:55

Yeah. And it's,

23:57

it's that, I'm a teacher, I'm an adult.

23:59

You're a kid you're just supposed to listen to what I say.

24:01

And then that's okay. But

24:03

how would, what is it supposed to look like? You

24:06

want me to figure it out? So I love

24:08

that Glenn.

24:10

I am actually going to say the exact same thing

24:12

that Isabella just said. I think teachers

24:15

should also learn how to communicate

24:17

with students because some

24:19

teachers, at least for

24:21

us, they just assume,

24:25

or like they think that we should just listen to

24:27

them no matter what. And

24:30

that is just wrong because, we're still

24:32

people and we still need our own

24:34

opinions and our own ways of doing things.

24:36

Yeah, I think conversation is key.

24:39

Oh, and wait on, add something.

24:41

One thing that I find that

24:45

teachers probably shouldn't do as often

24:47

is to bring in their emotions. From

24:50

other classes or from their own

24:52

personal life. I it's like

24:54

they walk into the classroom and they're mad

24:56

already and we don't know why.

24:59

And yeah.

25:01

I don't think that is a great relationship

25:04

between the teachers and the students, for sure.

25:07

Yeah, I'm going to, I'm going to be perfectly

25:09

honest with you. I fall victim to that. This is

25:11

right the human side. I feel that sometimes

25:14

I teach PE. So if a

25:16

class before me gave me a hard time, I've already

25:18

had this little thing

25:21

with me. So when the next class comes in,

25:23

it's, on them extra,

25:25

and sometimes it doesn't require that. And that's something I

25:27

know I need to work. Just finding that downtime

25:29

in between classes to just take a deep breath,

25:32

even though we have a one minute break

25:34

between classes. So as one class is leaving

25:36

the other classes rolling in and as

25:39

a teacher, I'm telling you like the human side

25:41

of, trying to recollect our thoughts while something

25:43

else is popping up can be difficult. And

25:46

I know, like I said, I speak

25:48

for experience personally. That's something I

25:50

need to work. Because I've had

25:52

cases come in and they're like, what

25:55

happened? Oh, you had the

25:57

class before us. Okay. But co okay,

25:59

go drink some water and come back. I'll

26:05

take the water, because it also

26:07

the human side, they know that I'm not

26:10

that person all the time. So obviously

26:12

something happens. It's the recognition it's

26:14

recognizing right. Having that. The

26:17

communication back and forth, that acknowledgement

26:19

of self between teacher

26:22

and student, that we should all have.

26:24

My kids would come in and make a joke and I'm like, all right, whatever

26:26

we get out of here. But but it's, building

26:28

that relationship because now what

26:31

I've done is I left the door open for them to

26:33

come to me with something. They feel more comfortable sharing,

26:35

some of the issues and things going on. If

26:38

I'm a little bit more open with my emotions

26:40

and okay. As opposed to being

26:43

dictator teacher. So I believe what

26:45

you guys are talking about is very important.

26:47

And thank you for bringing that up. And hopefully more

26:49

of my teacher friends are listening to this to

26:53

get that. So what projects

26:56

are outside ventures that you have going

26:58

on outside of school?

27:00

Mainly for us is yes,

27:18

27:20
