Dear lord, read the article for once. There’s a mental health epidemic going on among teenagers and an all time high in children’s anxiety. It has nothing to do with “have our same childhood” crap.
You lot can’t be trusted to actually pay attention to what kids are doing on their phones. And to the comment above yours, this is the first generation raised entirely on phones and they are the worst with technology, they’re basically tech illiterate. They can be glued to a device all day but that doesn’t mean they know how it works or how to use it effectively.
Honestly the worse offender is social media. Most adults are addicted and mentally distraught by the likes of Facebook, tiktok, Instagram, et al. Now imagine a child who is still in development, with far less cognitive recourses and maturity being exposed to that.
Social media isn’t like reading a book, it’s like a magazine. It’s mainly meant for quick consumption, and rarely teaches anything. Imagine a kid who only read magazines and never books. That’s one stunted kid.
