forgottenmix Mar. 15th, 2025 07:03 pm)everyone’s heard the words “protect your kids” or something along those lines. the harsh truth is most let that in one ear and out the other. im no one to protest or give ethical parental advice, as i am just a teenage girl speaking her mind on an online blog, but this concerns me thoroughly. it is depressing to see statistics go up on the topic of kids consuming drugs and alcohol. and what shocks me the most is the parents reactions to hearing their kids’ lives are diminishing due to addiction. now, hear me out, im all for respecting privacy and not being watched every second, but how the fuck are some parents oblivious to their own children’s welfare? it’s almost as if they dont care enough to pay attention to their fucking child.
another category of this is kids gaining addiction to screens. if one raises their child strictly on technology and nothing else, it’s no wonder their kids are failing classes and are reading at lower age levels. i understand technology is becoming more prominent in todays society, but it is truly saddening to see kids whining and screaming in public over simply having a device taken away. and then there’s these parent letting their young children use fucking retinol. 7 year old CHILDREN shouldn’t be able to have in reach let alone use makeup and skincare products and cosmetics of any sort that are meant for adults or late teens. there isn’t much to elaborate on that further than what I’ve said, but about the device ordeal, most teachers and pediatricians are concerned about children’s brain development and lack of an attention span. isn’t it fucking obvious? if someone’s kids are allowed to consume hours of short videos via YouTube, than it is scientifically proven to lower their attention span, making them unable to pay attention to one thing for anything more than 5 minutes. this is genuinely concerning, and it will get worse in the future if nobody acts now.
