Oh gosh screen time..
where do I even start.
Screen time is a lack of trust; If you can't trust your teen to go to sleep on time, or you just want to limit their time on anything, it just shows the lack of trust in your relationship with your teen.
I understand screen time for when they’re kids, but just like everything else, it’s a gradual process of release. By middle school, your teen should be able to self regulate and they can if you help them. You can’t have your kids going off to college or whatever and have no idea how to self regulate..
It's an invasion of your child’s trust, IN YOU, because of parental control. A teen with screen time has limited time on apps and or social media all under their guardians say in the matter.
If you parents are going to put screen limitations on a kid and/or teen, it would be well fair if you put them on yourself; also providing plenty of other options. Imagine the difference in the hours between the two because WE COULD ALL DO WITH LESS SCREEN TIME! you’re an example.
It would also be helpful if you parents would let your teen leave the house more often. Screen time is how us teens socialize, and get homework done; and that’s on periodt. Thank you.

In no way is my opinion directed at attacking parents and/or other teens; I’m just explaining my point of view
