Great book about this came out in March. It’s called “The Anxious Generation” and goes into great detail about it
Gooning and brain rot being on here is crazy
It's gooning
It's gooning
My auto correct doesn’t recognize the word but that’s what I’d typed lol
Exactly, teaching moderation, safety etc
Most kids do not yet possess the cognitive function to practice moderation and safety at that age.
That’s why kids often opt for eating candy for dinner even if you teach them it’s not healthy.
That part of their brain to practice restraint is not yet fully baked.
parents just need to parent better. yes, it is very much a systemic issue at its core, but you can’t blame bad behavior solely on that. in an ever evolving world, you gotta learn how to adapt and teach your children right from wrong
learning does not stop at the classroom
remember a tweet saying kids dont really have a lot of websites geared towards them anymore like miniclip or cartoon network w games n s***.
also a lot of kids like imitating adults; so when they see nothing but the adults around them on social media
Generation is cooked
This pic is why I asked her this past Saturday when I saw her lol
She yelled at me for telling her she has skibidi L rizz too
she said mewing has been the worst but I dont even know what that one means
you should be teaching your kids how to use tech and ai the year before they start schooling

Completely agree.
Theyre not able to learn the behaviours right away, but it's still up to parents to police those activities.
As a youngin I was muccccch too addicted to vidya games at a very early age (pre google fyi) and rather than let me run rampant, my parents opted to limit it to weekends, taught me moderation early, and taught me it was somethin that was done on free time, not stealing time from other activities.
PArents also have the power to set up aps on their kids devices that limit the screentime, and shut off after a certain amount.
Will always be ways around those, but this discourse of bannig kids/ restricting what these companies can do simply becuase some parents are bad is ludicruous.
Some of the same bad parents would make a second account to let their kid use if anything like this became policy.
At 16 it's too early still IMO
Bro we were on MySpace at like 12 and AIM even earlier lol
I feel like this isn't the answer lol
I had internet access by the time I was like 8 years old, but I was taught common sense on how to use it and were also given strict time limits as to when I was able to use it
Like most problems we're seeing in America's youth, parents need to parent more
Well said per usual bother
On a related note kids these days are increasingly depressed and suicidal just from being exposed to the idea more online. Go on r/depression and you’ll see so many 12 yr olds saying “This bad thing happened at school I’m going to k*ll myself” it’s sad
Completely agree.

For sure parents often times are addicted to social media themselves these days
Hard to set an example for their kids then, let alone have an active role in raising them
you niggas always try to substitute s*** for people being s***ty parents.
Again most people SHOULD NOT have kids
Just ban social media
Bro we were on MySpace at like 12 and AIM even earlier lol
It had less dumb s*** than nowadays
