[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No one said social media is the sole cause of teen girl suicide.

Social media is a major cause - maybe the predominant cause - of teen girl suicide today.[/quote]

[b]You don’t know what you are talking about.[/b]

The causes are extremely individual.  Is social media toxic? Very.  But it’s oversimplifying things to say it’s the predominant cause.  And you are likely beating that drum to make yourself feel like you are adequately protecting your kids and therefore it won’t happen to them (you).  [/quote]

By all means, keep your head buried in the sand.

Allowing early smartphone and social media adoption is the primary issue here.  Not the [b]ONLY[/b] issue but these are the single easiest aspects that you as a parent can have direct say/control over and not toeing the line here is an incredible disservice to your child and don't be surprised with the regret and guilt you'll be saddle with because you didn't think is was that big of a deal or it was "too hard" to keep say no.

There are so many reasons for it.  You don’t get it and overly simplify it.  Even if we got rid of social media the same abuse and bullying would exist as well as genetic mental health issues. [/quote]
