I’ve got some mixed feelings on this. On one hand, I get that social media can be a mess, especially for younger kids. It's like giving ‘em the keys to a world they might not fully understand yet. We’ve all seen how wild things can get online – trolls, sketchy content, cyberbullying. 
So yeah, a little bit of control could be a good thing, right?
But banning it entirely? That seems off to me. I mean, kids these days are super connected, and it’s not all bad. Social media can be an awesome way to learn stuff, explore hobbies, and even stay close with family. I’d say, instead of a ban, why not set up proper guidelines or restrictions to keep it safer? Parental controls, maybe, or something that filters content based on age. Feels like a better middle ground to me. No point to ban kids that are really tallent for esports gaming and competitive tourneys.
Curious to hear what others think
