It’s horrendous what’s happened recently in the media with school aged boys rating girls’ looks on social media. But why?

 

Beacause they have social media and a platform to do it. 

Govt. Schools and parents need to step up and remove smart phones and social media during school. Of course they’ve been expelled. It’s unacceptable and appalling behaviour but it’s COMMON.

I really feel for the boys and their parents. I am a mother of young girls but this behaviour is symptomatic of our society and its addiction to screens - and this is why they have been confused and become products of their society. 

 


This is why I wrote my book 📕: Macy’s First Phone - to help parents establish boundaries for when, where, how much on addictive screens (and as importantly, to prevent youth anxiety and mental health issues. ♥️)

Thank you for continuing to support. We can all act in our own backyards and sphere of influence - that’s where it matters most.
