Everyone knows children and teens are on their phones or screens a lot, most parents do not consider this a real problem; they do not see the reality of what is going on inside that phone and what is going on in the child's mind. In this article I intend to demonstrate that screen time and social media use,especially, is detrimental to an adolescent physically, mentally, and spiritually. Many parents have simply taken the easy route of giving their child something to sedate them or keep track of them, it's so "convenient".
Saint Joseph health system reports: "According to the report, social media is used by up to 95% of teens between ages 13 and 17, and more than a third say they use social media “almost constantly.”" So a third of teenagers are on social media 'almost constantly' this in itself is already horrifying based on what can be accessed on social media, the internet, and what actually occurs on social media. As I will get into shortly, this has terrible effects on children, everything from porn addiction to a death of their attention span and all sorts of other issues. "As of 2021, 8th and 10th graders spend an average of 3.5 hours per day on social media, and a startling 1-in-4 teens spend 5 or more hours per day and 1-in-7 teens spend 7 or more hours per day on social media." Firstly, let's think of this in the most practical terms possible. The amount of time being wasted doing nothing but scrolling is immense, its hard to even truly comprehend yet many people live this way. Over the course of 10 years, 3.5 hours a day would be almost a year and a half. That's a full year and a half of someone's life spent on their phone mindlessly scrolling. This is not what humanity was created for.
"A study of U.S. kids aged 12–15 found that teens who spent more than three hours per day on social media faced double the risk of poor mental health, including depression and anxiety." Kids today do not know what they were made for, they don't feel a purpose, their parents (often) failed them. They don't know why they do the things they do in life, so they end up just numbing themselves and scrolling through social media where they just see total brain rot or lewdness or even extreme violence. They lose a sense of themselves. This is where they fall prey to hedonism. They begin just seeking that next rush wherever they can find it. Be it drugs, porn, sex, alcohol, violent behavior or just back to the unending grind of scrolling. Kid's today see their parents worship at the altar of Americanism and their 401k, seeing their mom get drunk on box wine and their dad just work and then go drink with his friends, they're basically on their own spiritually, so they either search for the Truth or wander off despondent and disheartened into the hedonism or Americanism they were born in to.
Ultimately, children do not have childhoods anymore. They are expected to not grow up in a mature, healthy manner, but instead expected to pretend as if they are grown up. The average age a person loses their virginity in our society, according to the demonic organization of Planned Parenthood, is only 17 years old. Other sources say that 40 percent of boys will lose it by the age of 12. How is this possible? How is it acceptable? Because parents (as a whole) have checked out and been checked out for a long time, otherwise this would be stopped. Gen X and boomer parent's need to understand, sex before marriage is not a joke, it is a very severe problem and is (a long with pornography) destroying the minds and bodies of their children. This will be my last treatment on this subject for a while, but it is a necessary one to comment on.
