Wow, equating a child’s coping mechanism and trauma escapes with giving them drugs is a low that’s genuinely impressive. And infuriating.
I never said anything against therapy, that’s of course essential. So is making sure there is no immediately harmful stuff around them (which entertainment, games and social interactions via internet that are used to cope are NOT fucking part of). But taking away their coping mechanism is literally the worst thing you can do and will only inflict even more damage.
I went through this fucking shit two decades ago (but with 2000’s computer & internet) and I’ll die on this hill. Implying that a phone is inherently damaging is regurgitated boomer bullshit, and taking it away if it’s their coping mechanism / outlet completely from a traumatized child will lead to either estrangement later or suicide earlier.
And of course you know there are games that and movies and serieses that shouldnt be consumed by kids. I hope we can agreed that kids shouldnt watch Breaking Bad and play something like Postal.

Probably as likely as suicide when they still have it.
How come suicide rates did not drop since the advent of the phone?
You seem to imply that the phone is spmehow aiding psychological Regeneration (probably with all the Fake News, the constant barrage of negativity, sexialized Advertisement etc. I bet that is curing)
Social Media is just as addicitve.
Only If you ignore the science, especially for social media.
You’re really all in on ignoring literally everything else you can do with your Smartphone, huh? Just fyi, a lot of young people only have a smartphone and do everything with that. Internet in general, contact to friends, watch media etc. Your link is, again, a study about social media. There’s more to a Smartphone than that, believe it or not.

You literally equated it to drugs.

But somehow the rates are as High as the 1930s
So the “escape” and “coping mechanism” does not work as such. The mid 30s need to accept that.
Nope, never said that. Coping is not curing, it’s a survival strategy.
Nope, never said that. You obviously do not even know what coping even is (The mid 30s are apparently smarter than you about this). Here, read a Wikipedia. It’s not about curing, never was. It’s a emotional management and mental survival strategy, and there are good and bad ones. The only thing you managed to do is show to a strawman that social media can be pretty bad (duh), and somehow equate that to taking the whole phone away. The phone that also is source of entertainment, social contacts, distraction (yes, also healthy coping) from whatever hurts them. And you want to take all of that away. That’s exactly the kind of boomershit I meant, and you’ve made yourself a perfect negative example.

Why? Because to me that is very equatable.
Drugs are an escape from trauma just as well. Social Media is just as addicitve.
Why is it in any way wrong? (You did not call it that way but that seems to be the Message)

Damn bro, you’re dense. Like, really.

Anyway, enough of this nonsense.
Every accusation etc.
That is an addiction that is talking.
