Kids never take a break from their crew now

Today, kids never fully escape their cliques, their crews, and the usual group of individuals they spend time with. Sure, they may travel with their families, spending weeks away from their classmates, but they aren’t really away. They’re live streaming on Facebook and posting to their Instagram story. They miss out on that total escape—a time to really explore their identities—that, for my generation, came with summer break, when we left our classmates for a while.
