Roblox is a game.  It’s social media not games that are causing the problems.  Instagram with girls as young as 12 years old filtering their faces and editing their bodies to create curves that aren’t there.  Lonely teens looking at pictures of parties on Instagram they aren’t invited to. Snapchat screenshots sent to the whole school. The newest apps are more focused on dating for teens, meeting new people and meeting up.

My kids play video games, Mario Kart, Roblox.  My son, 15,  is happiest with a close friend, a girlfriend or alone.  He hates crowds and parties so I’m fine with his love of video games. He’s not on instagram or TikTok or any of them.

What’s more concerning are the social Apps that involve meeting strangers.   I’m trying to prepare my preteen daughter on what is appropriate and what isn’t.  What’s fake and what’s real.  What’s dangerous.   What’s inappropriate for age.  [/quote]
