Becoming an adult is one of the best times in a young person’s life for one reason: freedom. When you’re a kid, you are afforded very few freedoms. You cannot go wherever you want to go or do whatever you want to do. You must be home when your parents want you home, adhere to …

Whispers of a vibrating phone, beckoning unanswered calls, and constant post notifications have become white noise at the family dinner table. While your parents sit in silence, scrolling through their phones and chuckling at Facebook posts, they’ve excluded themselves from any kind of human interaction; it’s become clear that family time includes their entire social …

Teenagers and technology are not the best mix. Anyone who has grown up with social media knows how damaging it can be to your mental health.

If there’s one thing I know about my mom, it’s that she can’t sleep. I know that it’s low-key my fault because she hasn’t been able to sleep 8 hours a night consistently since she had kids. It’s not that we were getting her up all night into our teens, but rather that she was …

23-year-old uncle smashes his brothers phone after her refuses to pay for the TV his 12-year-old son broke: ‘My mom said it was an accident, my dad said I could just replace it myself’
Back in the day, breaking a TV was a huge deal. I will never forget the night all the families on our cul-de-sac went to a party, and my neighbor Nile broke our other neighbor’s giant flat-screen TV. Nile was about eight and broke the TV screen by throwing a toy at it. This was …

14-year-old breaks brand new iPhone 13 twice in mere months, begs her dad to buy her an $1000 iPhone 15 after the second breakage: ‘Apparently she doesn’t like having a phone case’
The best way to learn the value of your things is to pay for them yourself. When I discovered my laptop screen was broken and would take $400 to fix, I was devastated and put off fixing it for as long as possible. I was embarrassed that I had treated my possession so recklessly that …

Gen Zers make fun of millennials for never making big purchases on their phones and reserving them for computers: ‘I ain’t about to mess up a $500+ purchase just cuz it’s convenient’
It’s easy to criticize someone slightly older or younger than you for their technological quirks.

‘I’m not a high school student’: Boss bans cell phones in the workplace, confiscates them before employees clock in
One of the best things about being an adult is that nobody snatches your phone away from you. Don’t get me wrong, I understand why teachers have to take increasingly desperate steps to ensure their students will pay attention. However, when you’re on the other side, it feels pretty silly that you can’t be trusted …
