Teach kids all you like, however you like, they're not going to stop using social media on their own. It's a digital drug engineered to be addictive, and the kids are

Parents control if they get a phone till 18. Generally the more upper class the parent I know, the later they give their kids access.
It’s not like kids are born with an iPhone glued to their hand.

Sort of. Kids in the US can get a job and buy their own phone as young as 14.

Maybe we need to treat addiction universally and ban kids under 21 from owning a smart phone.
