Ahhhh. So it's not social media?

That said, social media aside, I wouldn't want to be a teen today. Too much fear. Too much gloom & doom. Too much adults preaching "Don't do Y and/or Z (and not offering "do this instead" alternatives).

And parents are looked down upon for not overseeing their kid's every move. So yeah, the parents live in fear as well.

This level of fear is not healthy.

We've removed agency and replaced it with a void. Is it any wonder teens are struggling?
