It's absolutely ridiculous that so many young teenagers are all over these apps these days. I swear, parents these days gives their kids a cellphone before they've gone through puberty. Used responsibly, these platforms/apps like most things probably aren't all that bad. It all comes down to how they're used. But many young teenagers today definitely don't have a healthy relationship with these things.

Blaming it on parents is dumb as ****. People are how people are and unless you're proposing we use eugenics or social conditioning to fix how people interact with social media then blaming it on parents is actively ignoring the issue of the companies in charge of this media cause you don't want to deal with a much more basic problem of capitalism and it's unfettered control of our lives.
