[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There has been a nationwide explosion of teen mental health problems over the last 20 years.

I believe social media and phones are primarily behind the overwhelming majority of new teen mental health disease cases.

Do we really want to add Marijuana use to the existing crisis?   Marijuana should never have been legalized.

And before anyone states the obvious (21 is the legal minimum age to smoke Marijuana), the same is true for alcohol yet teens get that often too.[/quote]

So we should ban alcohol, phones, social media and what else?

Honestly? While "banning" isn't likely to happen, smarter people avoid these things. For a reason.

Save phones for straightforward communication purposes, none of the things you mention serve a valuable function. Alcohol and pot, along with other drugs, are for people who don't have the coping skills to deal with reality. Social media is a drug. If you don't believe me, delete your account. If you won't, listen to the excuses you make. Typical addict behavior.

My kids never had social media. They may drink/smoke someday, but they've grown up watching their parent avoid these things, intentionally, and we've had some deep chats about why. Maybe that isn't enough to completely innoculate them, but it's probably more than most kids get these days.

Unfettered access to social media is just as toxic as unfettered access to substances. Maybe even moreso; everyone knows drinking/smoking is bad for you.[/quote]

Speaking as a prior addict amirite?[/quote]
