Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.We sure have a mental health crisis among young adults and teenagers here in the US, even though a number of our politicians wish to deny such. Whilst I can agree that unchecked social media usage among teens and young adults could become potentially dangerous, I think the bigger problem is/was poor parenting. Parents these days are raising a crop of some fruity ass fragile kids who freakout over the slightest provocation.
