[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Parents need to be more concerned about social media use and unsafe tech in teens. These parents who say “it’s fine” are ignorant to the tons of research showing the devastating harms of social media to teens mental health, social skills, and cognitive functioning.

Parents can control screens more at home and on parent issued devices. School issued devices within FCPS have terrible tech controls. Students know how to access social media and banned sites on school computers. They use proxy servers. FCPS filters and tech controls are very poor quality. More money and effort should be spent on tech safety and appropriate tech use. [b]Kids also use school Gmail, Google docs, and slides to cyberbully, send nudes, sextortion, and more[/b].

Hold off on social media as long as possible. Snapchat and TikTok are the worst. Surveillance software like BARK can connect to social media accounts on Samsungs. Follow the podcast and Instagram accounts “scrolling2Death” which focuses on tech safety.[/quote]

So, how does banning SM in any way reduce the likelihood of bullying or sexting or anything else really, when the kids can still text each other?  That makes no sense to me.[/quote]
