Due to her experiences as an influencer and the risks associated with social media, a mother refuses to allow her four children to use it. She acknowledges the pushback from her teenagers, who see their friends on social media and don't understand her restrictions. Despite the initial opposition, the mother remains firm, believing that while her kids might resent her now, they'll appreciate her decision in the long run, especially as one of her teens recently expressed gratitude for being shielded from peer anxiety linked to social media.
I knew, from my own experiences, that social media is overwhelmingly not a safe space for teens and I didn't want my own kids having any part of that world.
My 16-year-old recently thanked me for shielding her from the anxiety her peers have experienced.
Countless articles tout how social media access provides open season for bullying, discrimination, stalking, trafficking, and safety threats - especially for teens who can be more vulnerable.
I empathize with their feelings, remembering when I thought my own parents weren't fair to me.
