Some psychologists caution against drawing simple conclusions about the effects of social media on adolescents.
“The healthiest approach when dealing with adolescents is to accept that we are unprepared,” Federico Tonioni, head of the Web Psychopathology Centre at Rome’s Gemelli hospital, said.

He added he could not conclude that his patients would suffer less ⁠in a world ​without social networks, warning against over-reliance on parental control.

“If there is something dangerous, it is control over children. Young people need to be listened to. Control is ​not a healthy form of presence. The healthiest distance is trust.”

There isn’t anything to add.
