The Impact of Popularity in Teenage Life - S2 E8

Popularity... What a loaded word.

This week's 8th grade hosts, Salil and Shauna, discuss the concepts of popularity and social health in middle school life. They interview classmates Dhruv and Nina and all four talk through the positive and negative impact of popularity, how it matters in school and later in life, and recommendations for younger students looking ahead to middle and high school.
