I strongly believe that children should avoid social media at least until they turn 16. The negative impacts on mental health, including increased anxiety and depression, are well-documented. Additionally, excessive screen time can interfere with crucial developmental stages and social skills. It's essential to limit their exposure to ensure a healthier upbringing.

I believe that children should not have smartphones before high school. Research indicates that early smartphone usage can negatively affect mental health, social skills, and academic performance. Limiting access helps protect their developmental growth.
