Social media is not the same as it was 10 years ago.
The level of which kids compare themselves to other kids took an exponential leap to a near hive mind level.
Constantly comparing themselves to the instagram people with fake lives, rich kids, or extremely beautiful people is mentally damaging them.
My daughter asked me for plastic surgery, and I was dumbfounded.
So I went check her internet logs, and she's been watching rich kids of instagram/tiktok/etc. So now I'm trying to figure out how to talk with her about this.
There is balance, but as her mother I don't think I'll be letting her have internet privacy until she's grown up and moved out.
