One of the things that worries me the most for my granddaughters (now 13 and 14) is the impact of social media. My daughter has been cautious with their tv/movie viewing and ability to move around the 'net, but we all know children are exposed to much before they are mature enough to handle it. The constant barrage of trash talk and graphic images available on social media threatens their self esteem and their perceptions of reality. Same for young men. I find it frightening.

Thanks for posting, seabeyond. It is an important article. Good to have you back at DU.
