Did you go through an 'awkward phase'? Usually between about 10 and 16, it might have involved questionable make up, clothes we thought were cool, and a stack of photos we wish we could bury.

But young Gen Z kids seem to be skipping this phase altogether thanks to social media, and we're not sure that's a good thing.

Plus, we discuss a feature on Tinder that asks people if they're sure before sending an abusive message, and Lucy and Em want to know if this is just protecting the wrong people, and we break down an anonymous confession from someone wondering if they're shallow after a date didn't meet basic hygiene standards.
