I Banned My Kid From Social Media & I Regret Nothing ([link removed])

It’s one of the biggest parenting calls in this modern world of ours: When do they get access to social media?

Juliane Bergmann begins her piece with a story about bullying she experienced as a middle schooler, then explains how it informed her decisions about social media as a parent:

“Being bullied was awful enough in the nineties; I count this among my top five worst experiences growing up. But handing middle school children cell phones and social media access has introduced a whole new terrifying dimension. When it came time to decide about social media for my own kids, I didn’t only consider the potential for depression, anxiety, and social comparison. I imagined my degrading experience with the added humiliation of a public shaming that could be streamed and shared. And so I banned social media entirely.”

And she doesn’t regret it at all. In fact, her daughter even agreed with her decision, ultimately. Read it and see what you think.
