Rejected petition: Do not ban social media for 13-15 year olds
Rejected on
This petition is about social media being banned for 12 and under, teenagers use social media a lot for communicating and SHOULDNT be banned for 13 and above
Social media shouldn’t be banned for tennagers, I completely agree for those still 12 and under however teenagers use social media to communicate. Quite a lot of teenagers use TikTok mainly for ‘venting’ and use it to express their feelings. Snapchat especially is used a lot to message friends. Banning apps like these will in my opinion cause a lot of suicides due to their voice being stopped
