    Kids shouldn’t be stressing about the shit that comes up in social media feeds or the insecurities social media preys on. It’s also not a choice, because if some kids use it and others can’t the others will feel excluded.

  Phones would be far less socially damaging if social media didn’t exist in the way it does now.
