Parents aren't even bothered by the fact that their kids are on the internet with their own social accounts and aren't just playing games but involved with the latest ongoing trends
Let's talk about the downside of this entire thing first starting from my own family
The Younger Brother and His Smartphone Addiction Lately
As an eldest brother I know what things are good for the younger one and it's been my approach to keep them save from those things that have effected me badly or have impacted my growth in life so far
Like back then when I was in their age mobile addiction had me failed in a subject which never happened in my life before and that too happened because I was so involved with the mobile I forgot to attend my last subject exam, completely forgot about it cause of the mobile and failed in final resulting in loss of grade.
So now when I'm working I can't pay much attention to all these things going on at home

Mom works too, so do I and only one that stays at home is younger brother and he have to go school at like 11am since it's evening shift
So that time we're all at work and nowadays he's not going school regularly cause he just wants to spend entire day on screen watching YouTube or on laptop
And just about yesterday I had to change password of internet, laptop and everything to keep him away from it
basically he won't get anywhere near it again
And it's because of his grade like lil brother is a genius especially with numbers and all
So I want him to focus on study but his interest in game and internet is kind of reminding what happened to me back then
Won't let him do those mistakes and it's difficult to make him understand but since mom is on my side i know how to bring him back on track
And it's almost same with every other kid in any other house
Nowadays kids needs to be restricted until a certain age
Go watch any other kid in any family and they'll be involved with the smartphones like it's normal
But that's need some serious attention like there should be restriction like no one can use mobile unless they're over 18
It does effect kids grade, career since mobiles are distraction
No kid spends hours of everyday learning some skill or watching educational content
It only gets more and more ugly as their attention span is draining with every 5 seconds reel they watch on the internet
Focusing on studies become nearly impossible and it just gonna take us back to stone age with stupid and lazy mind laying around bed rotting all day if this thing continues like this for another 10 years
Wrapping Up...
I never thought I'd say this but I've to admit parents were always right about the phones, it's the damn problem and it's the only thing that is keeping many people where they're in life
You'll have to use it wisely and limit yourself and your little one's at home otherwise it'll only have those drawbacks.
I hope you get it and would love to know what you think about it in the comments.
