    For the same reason we don’t expose children to potentially addictive substances, we should not expose them to potentially addictive social media.

    Each parent should se their own rules but sometimes folks don’t do that and we end up with a lot of adults who can’t take care of themselves cuz no one ever showed them how

      Comparing subjecting kids’ bodies to physically addictive chemicals is a poor comparison to the idea of communicating with others online through a digital identity.

        Ideas and actions can become just as addictive mentally. It’s the main reason kids aren’t allowed to gamble.

        Please stop trying to argue from a place of intellectual dishonesty

          Ideas and actions are fundamentally different than physically giving someone an addictive chemical!?

          What?

            This has been interesting, but, you not understanding the facts of addiction show the breadth of your ignorance on the topic
