[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So basically, Haidt’s cohort did a shitty job raising their kids but he wants to blame it on the children instead ofntakignnreaponsibilitybfienti.  Classic boomer. [/quote]

Boomers are grandparents. You are looking to blame Gen x and millennials. [/quote]

Haidt turns 60 this year[/quote]

So born in 1963...cusp boomer but definitely a boomer.[/quote]

That was my point.[/quote]

Did you actually read his article?

It was not anti youth but citing the obvious …

Mother of 15 yo who has been poisoned by social media victim culture and gender identity confusion …[/quote]

NP.  I agree with the author and with you, PP.

I feel people are resisting the article’s main points because they do not want to accept them; they wish it were not so.

But it is.[/quote]

I wonder whether they are reading it at all … They are taking the author’s comment that internet age of adulthood should start at 16 literally and twisting obvious concerns about the negative impact of social media on our youth into a inter-generational blame game.

The stats speak for themselves - our youth are suffering intense mental illness problems/ eating disorders/ self harm and substance abuse. The wait list for teen psychiatrists is very long. Mental health facilities for teens are a booming business. They are insanely expensive and insurance routinely refuses to cover residential treatment comprised of evidence based approaches even when the need is clearly there. Ask me how I know.
