 You are not wrong at all I think knowing what we know now kids should not be on social media, but I also feel like that should be a parent decision

 It's age dependant. Kids use these apps to be social and without them they are left out and no longer part of the social crowd. There's a lot of pressure to be on Snapchat to communicate for example. I don't let my kids use certain apps though. And the ones that they do use, we have strict rules. If rules are broken apps get nuked.  We're not perfect but it works.

 Oh, believe me, I know my kids are 20 and 22 but my nieces are 10 8 and 5 I hate the idea of them being bullied on social media or something, and I don’t think that ever happened to my kids like there was never drama around it

 Most of my friends are school administrators or teachers. I hear all sorts of stories from them. Kids today are fucking horrid. Cyber bulling and drama is wild. Instead of being bullied or part of drama for a few hours at school now it's 24/7.
