In this episode, Sophia and Riya consider a mindful question: do kids now grow up too soon?
As social media evolves, an epidemic of children turning into adults emerges. The reason as to why these children are evolving much faster remains a mystery. Perhaps there should be stricter age limits on social media?
We ponder whether the age limit should be raised for children on TikTok, Instagram, and Snapchat. We decipher if these apps are harmful and dangerous to little children. These apps are usually the cause of insecurities, children acting like adults, and growing up too soon. Many teens and young adults, such as us, can admit that they were pushed into growing up due to social media.
Are they coming of age or is it forced upon them to grow? Listen to find out our opinions on this continuous issue.
