In this TV clip the Reel Grrls interviewed teen girls about what they think addiction is and about different media that teens are seemingly "addicted" to. To produce this clip, Reel Grrls worked with SCAN Youth Media. The show was then broken down into three parts: Texting, Television, and Social Networks.

Interviewees were asked multiple questions about their texting habits. The girls claimed texting made communicating easier. One girl even confessed that she uses two cell phones and is on them "24/7." But, not all girls claimed that they text as much as others. Some said they do not text in school for fear of getting caught while others offered ideas on how to hide texting in school.

Interviewees were asked multiple questions about their TV viewing habits. Some girls stated that they watch TV everyday and that "it's really addicting." Others, like texting, said they don't watch TV as often.

Interviewees were asked multiple questions about their social networking habits. The two most popular networks were MySpace and Facebook. For the most part, the girls claimed they are on a social network all the time. One even stated that she is "addicted to Facebook." Online bullying was also brought into question. The girls stated that social networks make it easier for bullies to confront their victims. Said the girl, "A lot of people take advantage of that."
