I grew up with access to social media. I got an Android 4.1 tablet when I was 8. Actually, I wish my parents had less strong opinions on it.

That’s because they went the other way around.
My dad wanted me to have a Facebook account, which I created, and then was upset at me when I deleted it when I was 12 because of the dumb hateful “jokes” floating around there.
Then later he again urged me to at least use Messenger, as if he didn’t have a plan with unlimited SMS and phone calls…

I am an adult now, but not much has changed. It only went from Facebook to TikTok.
