Yeah. So first, let's just look at how young women and young men are socially. Girls are much more interested in their relationships. They need a few good friends. They talk a lot. Boys don't talk as much. Boys do things together in larger groups.

And so social media, it has been completely devastating for girls because the way a friendship develops is you share secrets, you talk one-on-one, you talk in a small group, you gossip. But on social media, it's this giant conversation. People are performing. They're not really connecting. And this is happening in middle school, especially at a time when girls are just beginning to develop.

They're just starting puberty. They're very self-conscious about their bodies. And what are people talking about? Your face, your hair, your boobs, your skin. It's so sad to me how it pushes girls to be sexual and shallow. I just opened an account on Snapchat because my daughter wants Snapchat. So I opened an account for myself pretending to be a 14-year-old boy.

I can't believe what it makes the girls do. It's disgusting. And so if you're gonna go through puberty on Snapchat or Instagram or TikTok, it's gonna be bad for girls. Now for boys, it's not as emotionally damaging But boys get sucked into crazy, destructive behavior. And it's things like, let's attack some kid so that we can get a video of it and post it.

And again, it's dehumanizing, it's degrading. So this is why I say, no kid should be on any of these social media platforms until at least 16. This is just not appropriate for children. You cannot make this stuff safe for children.

No, she is not. I will not let her on Snapchat. What I've seen is so disgusting. It's not pornography. I'm not seeing pornography. But what I'm seeing is that it makes the girls all pose in this sexy, semi-porn way. It just pushes the girls to be shallow and sexy. There's no way I'm letting my daughter on Snapchat. Oh, and also Snapchat keeps pushing me to connect with people I don't know.

And that's how you get in the... That's how you start talking to adults in other countries who want money or sex from you. That's right.

That's a very good start. If he sees that there's a problem, then it's going to definitely be possible to solve it. And so, Carrie, you're absolutely right to worry about his mental health. Now, for girls, the connection between social media use and depression, anxiety is much stronger.
