Direct quote from my 14 year old freshman after we told him (again) that he couldn’t have Snapchat. He just got BeReal, which seems real dumb, but innocent enough. I’m not letting him get into party mode with SnapChat- no way. Surely I’m not the only adult with this problem, right?

Life existed before social media and the bullshite that goes along with it.

There are plenty of studies out there that constant blue light stimulus and social media is every bit as bad for a developing mind as drugs.

Good Parenting is hard but the right thing is rarely easy.

Raise your kid right and he’ll thank you one day.

Take the easy way out and you’ll reap what you sow.

We took Snap Chat away. Then my wife made me delete mine.

Snapchat. Common denominator in plenty of failed marriages.

Link?

I'm not pro social media, but I'm pretty sure fentanyl is worse on the developing mind.

I dont understand why voice text is considered an old person habit. If done correctly voice text is superior and more efficient in every way.

Take the phone. Now he can’t text or Snapchat. Tell him if he wants to Snapchat, this is how much a phone plan costs monthly and get a job.

Problem solved.

He will never get a date with a woman w/o snapchat.

You are turning your son gay, groomer.

Had that exact conversation with our 13 year old daughter a couple weeks ago.

Told her tough shite - she can’t get it.

Come on man. Let the kid get nudez from girls. It’s like your generations stealing playboys from your dad.

I hate Snapchat but I’m on there to monitor my daughters activity.

My finger is always itching to press the “nuke” button on her iPhone.

Give me a reason
