I got a big head start early in life in not giving a shit about what other people thought.

I'm pushing 40, if there was social media or whatever around when i was 14, i think my life would be way different and i'm so happy it wasn't. I don't even blame teens, they hardly even have a chance to be themselves. I used to work for that woman that was roughly my age, maybe a year or two older, and her look and her house just screamed: "I'M STILL 20" she had something between 3 and 5 kids, i couldn't really tell. She said she made Instagram, tiktok accounts and whatever for all of them as soon as possible so they have the "good" usernames and it's their birthday present when they turn 12. These kids are fucked. Sidenote, the creepiest thing about her house was that all her and her childrens pictures have these absurd beauty filters and they were cranked up to the point where no one had a nose on their pictures. It was like looking at tinder for minors.
Geez. No better birthday present than an impending mental health crisis. My wife and I watched, with regret, what early access to smart phones and social media did to our oldest and decided that her younger siblings can buy their own smart phones when they're adults. Not going to repeat that mistake.
Before my sister had kids (now 5 and 7) i always felt like the whole: no ipads for kids is way overblown. Now it actually terrifies me. See how they recat to smartphones is insane. My sister told the older to bring her her phone. I watched him run into the kitchen, picking it up and then walking back in a snails pace, just starring at the lock screen like a crack addict, because it might light up or some video starts playing.
I was grocery shopping and some child, sitting in a shopping cart playing Fortnite on his phone or a phone, who knows. He was too old to sit in a cart and too young to play fortnite (imo) the cart was in the middle of the main isle, so you couldn't pass with another cart. I just gave him a push and he rolled away. He did not look up, i don't even think he realised it. Just fragging away. The thing that actually kind of made me sad was that when i was his age, i really liked going grocery shopping with my mom.
