I 100% agree with everything you said.

The sad reality is that is extremely difficult, and in most cases imposible to restrict kids phone and social media usage.

Is the equivalent of not having the X cool toy, clothing or shoes of the moment but exponentially critical for not being a pariah.

The only way to revert this situation would be a majority or parents agreeing to restrict their kids at the same time.

This doesn’t happen because parents are distracted and consumed by, you guessed it, phones and social media.

Its like the serpent that eats its tail, a self fulfilling never ending enshitification of the human condition.
