This article is to push legislation to kick her off. She is saying "it would be a good thing for under 16s to be banned from social media". So I think saying why do you feel this way but continue to engage is a fair point.
This is not the average experience so instead of everyone being punished it should be addressed on an individual level. Plenty of people have a healthy relationship with it.
This absolutely is the average experience for young women on social media, and moreover it's the intended experience. Making girls feel like shit about themselves has gotten powerful men money, sex, and more power for a very very long time.
Her and all her friends.
And the article was written by a man.
Nuh-uh! It clearly says "I am a 15-year-old girl" at the top.
