Really, I think that headline applies to anyone, not just kids.
… he says, posting from a smartphone.
That constant feed of notifications and prompts to partake in the daily/hourly event/contest/whatever from a bunch of apps is enough to make the most resilient mind kinda twitchy and anxious. This isn’t surprising in the least.
About 48% of young women who had smartphones by 5 or 6 years old reported having severe suicidal thoughts, compared to 28% of females who had smartphones by 13 or older.
In young men, 31% of those who had smartphones by 5 or 6 years old reported having severe suicidal thoughts and 20% of males who had smartphones by 13 or older reported having severe suicidal thoughts.
Damn, smart phones need to be a controlled substance.
The study…analyzed self-reported questionnaire results from more than 100,000 young adults between the ages of 18 and 24.
Damn, that’s not a small sample
I bet you 90% of those didn’t have any parental controls or even parents monitoring their usage after the fact.
