Ah yes it's the phones that disturb the youth. Certainly not our glorious society and bright future... \s \s \s
Kids shouldn't be stressing about the shit that comes up in social media feeds or the insecurities social media preys on. It's also not a choice, because if some kids use it and others can't the others will feel excluded.
But how is that gonna help if they can use their phones at home?
Less time on it means less chance to get addicted. It becomes less standard to have it out around friends
Kids shouldn't have access to phones
