I had no phone as a kid, I tinkered with PCs and programming, but spent most of my time outside, with friends. Riding our bikes or skateboarding till the sun came down. We played basketball and met new friends at the mall. We explored abandon buildings and found places on the map we wanted to visit when we got cars. None of us had ADHD, depression, or were on SSRIs. Nobody made up mental illness or gender identity. This is so obviously a result of our screwed up culture and social media, and prevalence of phone usage from a young age. I have several young cousins and they are in bad shape. Fat (like real fat), sedentary, addicted to anime, rarely play outside, and of course, have all the mental illness acronyms.
