Kids are better off playing video games even if it’s gta or even mk will be better for them than social media.

16-18+ shoulda always been the time to start joining such cesspits

Why ? After 13 you're literally just holding them back from seeking out their own knowledge and making it harder to meet up with friends

What about the knowledge part ?

What about the knowledge part ?

i would teach them most stuff they needed to know and if they had questions I could just look it up for them

Flip phone for emergencies until age 12, then they can get a real phone

You buy them a feature phone at 12yo so they can have socials and call/text you if needed, and if they got good grades at school we can buy a smartphone once they start to have 15yo
