[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kids are far more aware these days, thanks to social media. Early on, young kids are becoming aware of the climate-crisis, white-supremacy, all the transphobia, and maga through platforms like TikTok and Discord. It’s not “darkness,” OP . It’s a good thing.[/quote] Can we be friends! This op [/quote] Being aware of these things is not the same thing as what OP was describing. I do have a friend whose teenager constantly catastrophizes over climate change -- like severe anxiety/depression over it -- and it is definitely not a good thing as it is interfering with her life. (That said, in that case it's entirely possible that it's not really about the climate change, but they're in the process of trying to get to the bottom of whether the climate change catastrophizing is a symptom or a cause of the depression/anxiety.) Also, I actually don't think it's a "good" thing for any 10 year old to be on TikTok and Discord.[/quote]
