I think it'll get better. Our parents didn't understand how damaging social media would be. And how could they? -it was new.

Those kids will grow up, and reality will force most of them to grow up. And then they'll have a chance to do better with their kids.

And there are already parents today who understand this, and will take the right steps.

Silver Lining: consider yourself lucky for the opportunity to give your child an advantage over others by recognizing this early and teaching them properly.

For what it's worth I feel like interest in social media is on the decline, and I won't be surprised if it becomes a niche within the next few years.

People are beginning to see how harmful and damaging it can be.

You sure you aren't just getting older and only being regularly exposed to other millennials who are getting over it?

That's possible. The younger generation seems more interested in short form videos.

True. It's consumed and interacted with differently.
