Are there some parents here, who were able to convince their girls not to use social media? Was it a success?
I think it’s very well documented, that social media can be really bad for kids. It seems to be much worse than drinking, smoking or bad relationships.
- watwut 4y agoI don't think social isolation of girls is reasonable knee jerk reaction to their issues.
- andix 4y agoI don’t know if that is even true. Maybe it’s the better call to give the kids a pack of cigarettes and send them to the kids who smoke secretly behind the gym, who just laugh about the instagram princesses. Or are those kids also a thing of the past?
- watwut 4y agoYou know, social aspect of smoking was fairly usual reason to start smoking. Because, people are social animals. And like it or not, there was period when smoking meant making networking connections non-smokers did not had access to. The proposed solution has nothing in it for girls. It does not make their lives better. It is not helping them in any way, except proposing new gender based restrictions on them. Yes, you can go on buy your son new gaming console to play with friends while telling girls they are not allowed to use technology to talk to people. In a world where no social media means no way to organize in person encounters too. That is what the proposal amounts to.
