For the first time in history, mental illness and suicide have become one of the greatest threats to school-aged children. Many parents still view dangers as primarily physical and external, but they’re missing the real danger: kids spending more time online and less time engaging in real life, free play, and autonomy. What are the effects on the next generation's mental, physical, and spiritual health? Childhood was more or less unchanged for millennia, but this is Childhood 2.0.

I recently watched a documentary[0] about the social media dangers for children. It mostly centers around narratives & interviews from a variety of people young and old, and in my opinion decently avoids trite pearl-clutching over vague assumptions about 'technology' or any particular company. Among other things, I am a bit floored by how much child suicide has increased over the past decades.
