      On the @JoeRogan Experience, I showed graphs showing the sudden and sharp rise of depression and self-harm among U.S. teens, esp. girls, after 2011. But I FORGOT TO SHOW THE SUICIDE GRAPH; see below: Here's the key section of our talk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CI6rX96oYnY … #TheCoddlingpic.twitter.com/bmbO9Bx7RN

      In #TheCoddling, @glukianoff and I say why we think the spike for Gen Z has 2 major causes: Overprotection, since the 1990s, and social media, since around 2010. Here's the graph I showed on @joerogan for major depression:pic.twitter.com/KLY1ElyjLR

      In the video clip I explain why social media affects teen girls much more adversely than teen boys. You can see the different effects in this graph of changes in self-harm leading to hospitalization. No change for boys.

      but the change for teen girls is massive, esp. for pre-teens, for whom the rate has nearly tripled. This also shows that the rise in depression is NOT just a change in comfort discussing mental health; this, and suicide, are NOT self-report data.pic.twitter.com/RjfWks41dQ

      Note that the increase for women in their 20s is small and linear. They got social media in college or later; it wasn't so damaging. But middle school is really hard, esp. for girls. Social media makes it much harder, may cause chronic stress for many.

      This is why I am on a campaign to encourage parents to adopt 3 norms: 1) all screens out of bedroom 30 min before bedtime; 2) no social media until high school; 3) time limits on total daily device use (such as 2 hrs or less)

      Would you please write an essay summarizing your recommendations? We have a 9 yo and a 6 yo and we're wrestling with this right now.

          Do you want your kids to believe it's moral to treat people differently based only on the colour of that person's skin? Watch out. Read your school district's equity policies. Ask your kids to bring their work home so you can review for bias. Kids believe what they're taught.

          I spent 5 years as a private tutor to kids in North Toronto. The elementary schools are a mixed bag. Some teach lessons that many parents would consider extremely inappropriate. Be vigilant.
