Would you feel comfortable letting your kids use today’s popular social media platforms?

Question

Accepted Answer

No way, social media is way too toxic and addictive for kids. All the comparison, cyberbullying, inappropriate content... I'm keeping my kids off that as long as possible. Maybe when they're teens and we've had lots of talks about healthy boundaries and critical thinking online. Even then I'll be monitoring closely.

I allow them only with restrictions

Jonathan Edward Brooks · Answer

Nope, no way I'd let my young kids use social media these days. Too many creeps, bullies, and bad influences out there. Maybe when they're mature enough to handle that stuff. Gotta protect them while they're still impressionable, ya know?

Answer

Yes, we have to be, but with extra vigilance

Answer

Only with restriction  I set time limits and monitor what they’re looking at, but I still worry about some of the things they could come across.

Answer

Not at all. The content can be too mature, and it’s hard to control what they’re exposed to. I’d rather they stick to safer, kid focused platforms.

Simon🍋 · Answer

Nah, wouldn't let my kids use most social media. Too much toxic crap and privacy issues. Maybe when they're older and can handle it better.

I think i would prefer kids to go on social media when they are about to go to college so they are more aware of things.

Answer

I think social media can be a great tool for kids to connect with friends and learn new things, but it's important to set boundaries and monitor their usage. 🙂🙂🙂🙂

Answer

No way, social media is a cesspool for kids. Too much drama, negativity, and creeps lurking around. Maybe when they're more mature, with strict limits and monitoring. But for now, it's a hard pass from me as a parent.

Arindam Vaidya · Answer

I mean it's part of the life now, I think we just can't implement boundaries without thinking of how the surroundings are.

Answer

does not seem

Answer

I'd want to make sure they're using it responsibly and not getting exposed to harmful content.. 😊

Winston. · Answer

With some restrictions.

Answer

I trust the content  but I have conversations with my kids about online safety and make sure they know how to handle things responsibly.
