[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If you don’t have a teen daughter struggling, congratulations!   You did it!  You avoided all the things that cause girls to experience a mental health crisis.  Your prize: you get to speculate on what causes these problems for all those other girls.  Their parents, mostly the moms, for allowing Social media in their lives, for not paying enough attention, for pressuring them to get good grades.  For you, this speculation is based on research studies you read - you get to be right no matter what you think because your daughter isn’t struggling.  You win.

If your daughter is struggling - I see you.  I am you.  I’m fighting this battle alone in my house just as you are fighting it alone in yours. Sadly, there are so many of us.  The people who aren’t in this fight don’t know or see it, and their ignorance and speculation just adds to the pain.  I wish we could connect because this is excruciating.  [/quote]

Stop blaming social media. It’s not that simple. [/quote]

OMG. JUST STOP.  Seriously??!?

You are obviously quite into your Insta or TikTok; you gave it to your kids, and now you feel guilty about it because you know you can’t stop.

It has a name:  addiction.

Social media is a major - if not THE major contributor to the teen suicide crisis right now.[/quote]
