As someone who was a teenager when the internet became a thing, I agree there should be a debate on the topic. Because as I see it, our brains got broken differently after the internet.

There is a healthy way to approach this. There is a minimum age for social media. Buuuut.... I'm not the one who should be saying what that is.
