Kids explain... "squad goals"

You all know what 'squad goals' means right? You might use it as a caption on a pic of you and your best friends having the best time. But do your parents know what you're talking about?

If someone in your class would like to hang out with you, just give them a chance and you might discover that they can be great friends too! Being 'squad goals' online also means being kind, supportive and always standing up for your friends.
