Rites of passage change with the times. In the old days, parents taught their young the right paths and then sent the young ones out to fend for themselves in wild.
These days, Parents do the same. Except the wild is also in the digital realm.
Today my son made his first steemit post and I could not be more proud!
As far as social media goes, I think starting with steemit is a trek down the right path.
