Parents are the problem because they act like kids. Facebook & MySpace were originally college kids or high schoolers posting too many photos from their camera but little harm happened on a desktop didn’t effect life as much.
But then older and younger parents started posting zillions of photos of their kids to passive-aggressively compete with their friends that also have kids. Now kids are photographed more frequently than 1990s supermodels were. When I was young going mini-golfing or throwing a football or going to the movies or eating breakfast was not photo worthy. And it still isn’t but parents don’t seem to understand that.
So most kids that are hooked on watching videos and sharing photos & videos of themselves can blame their parents for enabling them before they are even at an age they can understand much. Phone free schools are good but the issue isn’t going away because one consistency over the past 200+ years is that parents engaging in behavior and telling their high school aged kids they can’t engage in said behavior is a recipe for disaster (drugs, sex, social media, etc.)
"Now kids are photographed more frequently than 1990s supermodels were. When I was young going mini-golfing or throwing a football or going to the movies or eating breakfast was not photo worthy. And it still isn’t but parents don’t seem to understand that."
