No, this can’t be it, the kids are miserable just because of social media! All we need to do is ban social media and problem solved!
The old promise of entry-level work, where you find a position, learn the ropes, and make your way up, was already fading. Gen Xers and millennials can tell you that. But AI is quickening the unraveling, disrupting how young people find jobs—if they find jobs—and also what they confront when they get there. Gen Z is squinting into a fog, unsure of what’s coming, yet certain that disembodied decision-makers will have a say in it.
It couldn’t be that feeling like you have no future makes you depressed and unhappy!

The idea that human nature is rotten and cannot change is a core belief in Christianity, capitalism, and conservatism in general. It’s one of the oldest and most contentious political and philosophical debates. It’s OK to take the misanthrope position, but you shouldn’t speak about your opinion like it’s settled and obvious fact.

Yeah this is stupid because if you actually believe this than leave, what are you doing here?

the worst part of social media is you
If you’re a contrarian just because “someone needs to play the part”, ergo society expects someone to be a contrarian, aren’t you actually a conformist? #makesyouthink

I can absolutely reject your anecdotes and I do.
And this has to do with the posted article how?

> there are already plenty of example cases where forcing the reduction of the use of social media improved the overall mental well being of children and adolescents
[citation needed]
There is so credible established body of research that determines any casual relationship between social media use and wellbeing.
Correlations? Sure tons of studies showing those arguably maybe.
Proof of causation?
Nope, there is none, they have attached theirself to a story/narrative that is more seductive than the truth.
