I know they almost need as much sleep as younger children, but that's why I make my teens go to bed early. It's not that hard if you take the phones away.
Amen sister. No screens at all after 9pm in our house. If they need to finish their homework maybe but next time they need to budget time earlier in the day. Or get up earlier in the morning to finish.
I did this at the advice of our pediatrician, FWIW.
We do the exact same thing. It seems like some people are simply against parenting their children.
You actually just sound incredibly privileged, entitled, and childish. So many parents work nights and aren’t there to ensure their kids don’t use screens. Also, as someone else pointed out, they can occupy themselves with things other than phones (but apparently your kids aren’t creative enough and just go to bed when they have no screen time, so I’d look in the mirror before coming for other parents)
