That seems completely coherent to me. Getting a job as a teen is good for you. It teaches delayed gratification, working with others, responsibility and it provides a measure of independence early.
Social media, on the other hand, will make teens depressed. The association of social media => teen depression is ~5x stronger than cigarettes => lung cancer, which is a completely unfair comparison for cigarettes because you get the lung cancer 50 years later and you get the depression today.
- flangola7 4y agoKids should absolutely not be working until at least 18. It is not good for them at all. That's time that should be used for education, not throwing them into the meat grinder early.

- AbrahamParangi 4y agoNot everything that is unpleasant is bad for you.
- jjeaff 4y agoMines definitely are both unpleasant and bad for you. And as I mentioned in my comment above, so are meat packing plants.
- jjeaff 4y agoI think you are imagining some suburban kid getting a job at the local burger joint serving up burgers with a smile. Few 13 year olds are suited for service of office work. You must view this in the context of the fact that Tyson, a fortune 100 company headquartered in Arkansas just got sanctioned for having underage child laborers working in their meat packing plants. If you have ever been in a meat plant, you would know that a child should never have to work in that environment. It is dangerous and unhealthy and not a suitable place for adults to work, much less a child.
