Raised a teenage daughter to adulthood, have another teenage daughter another upcoming.
Social media was an absolute nightmare for my oldest nightmare.
Every single time she had access, she got moody, rude and withdrawn. We will take it away for a month or more and she would quickly revert back to her happy easy-going self.
Within a week or so I’m getting access back should revert to miserable all the time.
Every single time she completely denies that it has any affect on her and that we were being stupid.
Went on for years. At about 23 she started telling us that she thinks the phone is making her depressed.
So on her own she deleted most social and mostly stays off the rest. She’s doing dramatically better now.
With her younger sister hit 13 and got a phone, started complaining to her that she’s not allowed to have any social media. Our oldest told her to stay off social media. That it was a bad idea.
So middle child is often pissed at us about that. But is doing very well in life.
