The Anxious Generation
The widespread under-protection of adolescents using internet-based electronics (phones, game consoles, tablets, computers) and a widespread over-protection in the real world created a new generation of adolescents and teens plagued by anxiety, depression, and loneliness: The Anxious Generation. Jon Haidt details the psychology and sociology of this new generation and the pervasive roles social media plays in destroying children's brains. He offers plenty of resources and opportunities for parents, schools, and, to a lesser extent, lawmakers to counteract and rescue children from this developmental harm.
