Kids are smart and will find ways around your blocking attempts. Though I tend to agree, it's a scourge.

You do and they can get bullied because of it.

You don't and they can get bullied because of it and also become the weird kid that doesn't have social media.

Sometimes there isn't a good choice. :/

Because that's how everything in their world is planned and organized? You're backed into a corner as a parent.

I don't have any social media and I think (while the concept of social media is awesome) it's going to genuinely be the fuel on a very violent fire at some point.

But if your kid doesn't have some kind of social media at a certain point, their social life is non-existent. I don't like the rules, but I don't make the rules.

Also, do you not remember being a kid and finding technology work arounds? I remember feeling like an absolutely l337 hacker when I found a way around the parental locks on our family pc as a kid. I'm not stupid enough to think they won't do the same.
