WNYC has been busy capturing what the life of a 12-year-old sounds, looks, and feels like in today's society in a super-entertaining series called "Being 12."
Here's a fun look at some of the kids they met up with in New York City. (Excuse me — "mature kids.")
They talk about confidence...

They talk about dating...

They talk about fears...

...and annoying chores.

They talk about their dreams...

...that sometimes feature Beyoncé.

And so much more. Kids are the best. They're our future! They will become our teachers, bakers, pop stars, doctors, politicians — you name it. And in our super-connected and diverse world, it's going to be so fascinating to watch them grow.

Is this called the "I'm 12" shake?
