#screenager

sure, teenagers are kinda ridiculous now but they are also just different from what you're used to

they are existing in a changing world, god forbid they change with the world. ugh, the audacity

i personally hate gen alphas immediate and rapid access to screens too, and i think it is very harmful and bad for a child's development, however, i am not going to blame these five year olds for something that is entirely their parents' fault

'kids these days are sooo addicted to screens and all they do is stand around and vape!'

yeah. sure. its also kinda difficult to exist in modern society without a cellphone and vaping is just as bad as the smoking you were doing at 13, sharon

i also know some kids who still dont have phones and are very active and impactful in their community and are just as happy

this generalization that every single child is this bad is horrible and we should be blaming the adults who created this stifling, miserable world that is so ugly kids these days would rather disappear into their phones for lack of a tree or two to look at
