The evidence is equivocal on whether screen time is to blame for rising levels of teen depression and anxiety — and rising hysteria could distract us from tackling the real causes.
Kids need to stop staring at screens and go climb trees. Evidence:
Screens. Did you hear me? SCREENS. Screens bad.
When did anything bad ever happen to someone climbing a tree? There is literally no possible bad outcome.
Jobs: Compare the number of high-paying jobs that involve tree climbing with the number that involve staring at screens. It’s clear that if we want kids to be employable when they grow up, we need to keep them away from screens.
Edit: I forgot to tell you how to determine if a screen is good or bad. Is the screen at home? Bad, naughty screen. Is the screen in a non-home office? Good screen. Commercial buildings are known to counteract the harmful effects of screens.
