Who is Haugen and why should we listen to her?
Should teenagers not be subject to comparison with others? Then should we eliminate school grades, sports competition, etc?
Just asking.

I think teenagers should be exposed to honest competition.
Should we eliminate grades…of course not. Should the student who studies, does work to understand the material, takes practice tests and is involved in class get a better grade than the student who never participates, skips tests and doesn’t do any home work…sure. That’s based on reality.
Should the athlete who studies the playbook, workouts out consistently and practices to improve skills beat the athlete who show up after skipping half the practices and spending the night before in a drinking contest with friends…sure.
The problem with the social media competitive is that it’s not based on reality. It’s based on you comparing your reality to my project image of “brand me”. In that world, I’m 6’3”, 180 with a full head of dark natural black hair and I can run the 40 in 4.2. Should the other 65+ guys here feel less than…or maybe they have the life experience to call me on my bullshit. Lol
Point is, teens don’t know everyone else is dumping bs. So yeah…let’s cut back in the competitive fantasies snd get back to real life.
... the hearings. She seemed more right-leaning than left-leaning, to me. She had good rapport with Ted Cruz and the like... made me queasy but she also seemed on the same wavelength as Amy Klobuchar. I do think Congress needs to get more involved in regulations... yes on social media. But also on TV media. Tuckums is as much of a menace, as are his comrades. Remember "Tiller the Baby Killer?" Looks like Media is going to war with FB - they all want our attention exclusively.
