Venting banning tv shows and random video games and social media and the internet and then forcing your kid to take psych meds wont stop your kids suicide.

it is a stupid suicide prevention stratagy and doesnt work.

your kid isnt gonna not kill himself because you dont let him play fortnite or use snapchat.

It's an avoiding strategy for them. How can we ignore the real issues. It's that damn phone!

Fuck dude. I agree. If someone banned videogames, I would have 0 reason to live. I live for pokemon games

i mostly agree with the overall sentiment of this thread but sometimes it really is that damn phone. short-form content and AI chatbots and the like are rotting people's brains

i remember being online a lot and got myself in troublesome situations as a kid and it because no responsible adult in my life had the ability to bother listening, empathizing or showing compassion to me when my family made me feel like shit everyday. just fluoride stare between memorizing protocols, forcing out a smile to hide that they resented me, or secretly drafting some bs diagnosis to ignore my problems. so obviously i would look elsewhere. if they took away my phone i'd just use the wii u gamepad to go on 4chan or something.
