I have witnessed the same with my wife, we only have one girl.. the only thing I have imagined could work is keeping her busy and teaching her how to be attracted to decent communities that may not necessarily be who she goes to school with.

edit: but I have literally no clue what I am going to do, I have like another 5 years or so.

What do you mean you have witnessed the same? Do you mean a decline in mental health?

Yes, sorry. But she now uses it all a lot less after getting on depression meds and being able to clearly see it’s impact on her mental health.
