I'm with you on that. Children can grow up healthily while having social media, but it's not very likely. Most of the people I know with mental health/general life problems openly admit they spend most of their day online. It's just not healthy to be constantly competing to create the best caricature of yourself...

also Covid + lockdown? its pretty much unavoidable. laws should be passed 100%. I firmly don't think it does anyone good in their early stages of life (1-18 years of age).

Ohhhhh yeah. The number of people that have "realized they're trans" after going through extreme distress/depression and doing nothing but sitting on their phone for nine months is deeply concerning...

So are those who did the opposite, "trans" and "non-binary" in the before time, back to normal now. Social contagion theories are real, and they work both IRL and online. Online feeds IRL though.
