Children are more malleable in every aspect, there is a reason why we call the "formative years" formative

Have you never seen an adult addict? Because social media is addiction, nothing else.

Well yes, I tried weed in my 20s and I'm glad I didn't do that at 13
You're making my point

Not really. Weed isn't very addictive, and for every 20 year old that tries and quits weed, there are dozens that try alcohol, smoking, or coke and have a hard time quitting. Now, those can be expensive addictions, whereas a social media addiction is free, so it won't force you to rehab.
