Surgeon General says 13 is ‘too early’ to join social media
We occasionally "grounded" our teenaged daughters from their devices for various reasons. This primarily cut them off from social media. After a week away from it, even they acknowledged how much healthier and happier they were (mentally/emotionally). A few days after device usage resumed, those things tanked. We pointed it out a few times. They saw it, too, even brought it up themselves. But of course they continued using the stuff. It reminds me of the vast hordes of young people vaping who wouldn't be caught dead hitting a cigarette, apparently aware that this is idiotic but doing it anyway.<p>It's fun times to be a human.
