The great rewiring: is social media really behind an epidemic of teenage mental illness? The evidence is equivocal on whether screen time is to blame for rising levels of teen depression and anxiety. (www.nature.com)

I feel like even if you get rid of the screens, what else do teenagers have?

[โ€“] maynarkh@feddit.nl 3 points 7 months ago

What else do any of us have? If I want to go out to a place, most places will have someone ask for money for me to be there. And it's usually not "some" money, but a "lot"of money, that always only goes up. Some people can't or don't want to spend money.

Being bombarded by corporate propaganda and fear is cheap, so that's where all your friends are if you have any.
