Of the hundreds who responded, three girls from three states — Addi, Anna and London — became the subjects. They kept diaries, sent text messages and recorded voice memos about their days. Perhaps most important, they let a Times reporter see what was on their phones — the videos they watched, as well as the direct messages and texts they exchanged. The result is a vivid, multimedia look at what it’s like to be 13 today, at a time of dire headlines about what social media is doing to teenage brains. One piece of advice from the series: Instead of banning teenagers from social media, try talking about it with them. Teenagers want adults to listen to them, and to create an open environment for discussing both the benefits and the drawbacks of life online. With that in mind, we invite teenagers and adults alike to contribute to what we hope will be an interesting and lively intergenerational conversation — by exploring [these issues](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnC6J0P0T-aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMC8xMi9sZWFybmluZy8xMy1jb252ZXJzYXRpb24tc3RhcnRlcnMtaW5zcGlyZWQtYnktYmVpbmctMTMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9sbl8yMDIzMTAxMyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDUwODcmbmw9dGhlLWxlYXJuaW5nLW5ldHdvcmsmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0NzIzNCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZR10HSlluMIeSVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD) at your dinner table, in your classroom or with family or friends, and by commenting on [our special writing prompt](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRnC6J0P0T-aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMy8xMC8xMi9sZWFybmluZy8xMy1jb252ZXJzYXRpb24tc3RhcnRlcnMtaW5zcGlyZWQtYnktYmVpbmctMTMuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD01NSZlbWM9ZWRpdF9sbl8yMDIzMTAxMyZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0xMDUwODcmbmw9dGhlLWxlYXJuaW5nLW5ldHdvcmsmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE0NzIzNCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZR10HSlluMIeSVIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD).
