The death of the tween...

Описание: Hi! I'm Lil' Lo, I'm half of ‪@letmestayfocused‬ and I make video essays !

In this one, we dive into the quiet disappearance of tween culture and why it matters more than we think. From the impact of the pandemic to shifting media trends and social media pushing kids into adult spaces way too fast, today’s tweens are losing the time and space to just… be kids.

We talk about the decline of age-appropriate shows, stores, and hangout spots, how “cringe culture” discourages self-expression, and why so many tweens are skipping straight from childhood to adulthood. This isn’t about nostalgia...it’s about healthy development, identity, and giving kids the room they need to grow at their own pace.

If you’ve noticed something feels off about modern childhood, you’re not alone. Let’s talk about what we’ve lost, why it happened, and what tweens actually need right now.
