If I was limited to 3 hours of screen time as a teenager I probably wouldn’t be alive today. I used video games as a coping mechanism to dissociate from my gender dysphoria and (at the time) unsupportive family that I was hiding in the closet from. It wasn’t what I would call healthy but I didn’t exactly have a lot of other options.
Yeah, as teenagers high amounts of screen time is a symptom of other stuff, whether it’s an abusive home situation or mental health issues, or something else
In addition to… What else is there to do as a teenager these days? Especially in a car-centric place?
Kids however probably should have screen time limited, and try to be engaged in other ways, especially their parents, however, many parents are not good parents
