Did the NYT really publish an Opinion speculating that young girls today are more depressed than ever because of _phones_?

In a world where they lost the right to control their own reproductive healthcare? Where states are pondering making them report their periods? In a world debating genital inspections to play school sports? While banning books? Where they practice school shooting drills? With climate change? Where sexual assault isn’t disqualifying for public office?

Sure, it’s the phones.

@goosname social media & the reality of the world can be depressing to a young girl. Social media has a large influence on everyone's experience of the world especially our young ppl. This probably weighs heavier than many current events. There are still unrealistic expectations on young girls, the stress of online relationships & other things.

Not to say they're unaware of what's going on in the news, but they don't process it exactly the same way us older, more politically aware folks do.
