I have two teens and have yet to see the negative effects of social media for them or any of their peers. Not to say it doesn't exist, but I sincerely doubt it's as awful as the doomsayers think. My personal observation of being raised in he 80s is that kids were far more awful to each other then than now.

Fits my observation.

Every generation has this freakout about something or another. I expect modern kids will end up better at handling social media than their parents are.
