After reading a couple pages I’m still not seeing the “dark path”.
My thoughts exactly^.
When I was his age I was slipping off with whatever spare vehicle was in the driveway. Smoking, drinking, partying hard. I was never home except for dinner and after I was right back out the door to do more smoking and drinking.
And yes, that was at age 15. I had a mustache and shaved daily, looked like I was 19-20. 1st week of HS everyone, except the kids I was in middle school with, thought I was a senior. Liquor was legal at 18 so I would just walk in and buy whatever I wanted anytime. Got carded the 1st time in my life at age 31.
So, tell me more about this dark path your kid is on, who doesn't smoke, do drugs, doesn't drink, and is generally home.

I guess you make valid points.
The dark path I guess is gaming at young ages is being proven scientifically to restrict development and can lead to depression. Feeling lost with out your phone is where we are as a society.
At his age, I got into some stupid stuff with more freedom 15-18...mostly because we had to invent our own entertainment from boredom. Maybe these mistakes are in a way good for learning...? I don't know
Kids are the same because people are people... this is about the results from a new addiction seemingly harmless...
But it isn't harmless.
